PLANO, this ain't the 90's. You will probably get paid, those of us who are not that important will probably not be.
It's funny, in the 90's my computer center was deemed mission essential. I think the command took it out of hide. Ten years of crappy service by NMCI and 5 years of crappy leadership banging into the same palm trees day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year has resulted in us losing that status. There is literally nobody left in the command that knows what a data center can do - including most of those staffing the data center. Oh well...
Luckily, the crappy leadership was actually fired and forced out. We are recovering, but not fast enough.
So furlough again. I think our customer's Microsoft Word application will survive without us. In 2013 we think an Adobe form is automation, in 2003 such a statement would have been laughed at. Yowser...
