Back to the Office You Go, But Not Quite Yet

The House has some details to attend to before normal operations resume, so it'll be a few more days before all the furloughed feds must head back to the office. 

But for today, please enjoy one of my favorite things: a federal holiday during a government shutdown. A regular employment double negative. All of us who were already home are now out of the office times 2.  

And since we're all home, you might want to watch the National Veterans Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery. It's online [here], starting at 11 AM. See you all there.

It's like I was never gone. Even got my backpay already!

I watched the Mamdani/Trump meeting and was very surprised.

TSB said...

He switches his rhetoric back-and-forth very freely. Like Obama, all that remains is the big smile.

BTW - I'll post this later today, but just so you know, I'm switching from Blogger to Substack, which is more modern and probably gets more viewership. It's up now at theskepticalbureaucrat.substack.com. I hope you'll subscribe (always free).

We'll see, good luck!

Running away eh

James said...

It looks like I'll learn a new technology, James and technology don't mix well.

TSB said...

James: Moving to Substack seems to make sense, and is a whole lot easier than converting Blogger to WordPress, which was my other plan. Nothing new to learn, since only the terminology changes. Instead of "posts" they are now called "notes."

James said...

Don't worry about me, either I learn or don't, always do what's best for you.

James said...

I think I follow you on substack

James said...

On across the borderline, that's flaco jimenez on the squeeze box.

TSB said...

Thanks! Flaco makes the whole song, IMHO. Also, thanks for the follow on Substack!

I think I remember the guy in the hat with mandolin is the mighty Sammy Alfred of the geezinslaws!
