No. I will be on furlough. I will eat off the fat of the land and Obama will pay my mortgage. No worries. :laugh:

ROFLMAO... +1 to you !!!

I, too, will eat off the fat of the land.

Fortunately, I have no mortgage.

Unfortunately, until the new unicorn gas power generation stations come online, I still have utility bills.

Confuscuious say, may you live in interesting times.

Let 'er rip tater chip.

note:

Major issue with beltway. the new server software is an older version that is not able to handle the upload size of the exsting message data that's on Beltway- so I have to get with the server company and ask for a software update to be installed before I can resume uploading beltway.

It may be awhile before that's done.

Sorry.

Yeh- NO KIDDING!

P.S.- got the db size problem fixed.
Then I was able to get the DNS server pointers moved. One more step closer! Yea!.

But...not ready yet!

next is a problem with a SQL php config file.

Tom knows the answers and how to fix, but is not available right now.

Little bitty issues- but even a single one stops beltway in it's tracks.

Does this mean the Auto Tracker won't be updated tonight? :nuts:

 

[PessOptimist]

I recuse myself from voting because I don't really have a stake in it. My part of my agency has income sources other than the US government and we are told we can continue operating as usual for now. Since I will feel no pain from a shutdown it is difficult for me to make an unbiased choice.

Best of luck to anyone who does get furloughed. It isn't over yet, we have almost two hours.:worried:

Note:

C-Span is showing some House Representative tweets, indicating a deal is being struck.

No confirmation yet.

Alright..the party is over..everyone..Get back to work...

Just wanted to thank everybody for participating on a most volatile and in most cases, personal issue...Also for remaining civil to each other here as the poll clearly indicated a 50/50 split on what should have been done or allowed to happen..

I think in the long run, this outcome is better for the budget and will cost Americans fewer tax dollars to get back to normal after the shutdown, had it been allowed to happened..so I think this settlement before the deadline tonight was a positive thing..what compromises and concessions that has been made, remains to be seen..I'm sure the remainder of the FY will be about ironing out the fine details..

Good night and sleep tight

No deal until a vote in BOTH Houses of Congress takes place.

Don't count chickens just yet-

I'm guessing you wouldn't want to lay a little friendly wager on it would you, Mr. glass always half empty?

No thank you. No wagering here. I'm out of burro chips...

 

[burrocrat]

Do you ever feel like you've been played? You know, the emotional rollercoaster, omg what am I gonna do? Caught in a big ole game of chicken?

Everyone up there knew they couldn't afford to let it shut down, no matter whose fault it is. It was just the little issue of who would balk first.

Great show, stick around for the replay next week. On the bright side, my desk is cleaner than it's ever been.

Investing tip: buy anything and everything to do with invisible ink. They're going to have to print the notes somehow, and the source for all the red ink done dried up.

Republican congressman just tweated "We've been sold out- voting NO!"

 

[burrocrat]

Oh man, it's supposed to be 60 and sunny with no wind come Monday. I had plans.

Time > Money

Now I can sleep easier knowing the huge deficit got a itty bitty flea bite bitten out of it by this histerical feat of the 545 supermen that rule Planet Bizzaro. /s
