The only time I was important was when I was FEMA Cadre.
If I was still at the Corps of Engineers, I’d be working this week. I did a year at the White House CEQ (non-political appointment/career Fed), but didn’t experience a shutdown during that time.

Good grade. Retired 12/10 Philly area.

Nice! Buying back my military time soon which will put me that much closer to retirement. I'm the enterprise Architect for a sustainment organization and literally just made the switch to govt about 3 months ago.

12. Held off on getting a 13, so that I was able to move to the West Coast.
And I'm in the office, since my organization is fully funded. No one in the office due to use-or-lose season means it is a quiet week.
The last organization I worked for, the last shutdown, all the employees on reimbursable funding had to work. All the managers, whom were primarily on overhead, got a free vacation. Us jobbers were quite pissed about it.

I was in a similar situation at the Corps a few years back; some of us worked and some were furloughed depending on how we were funded. I didn’t mind working even though some got a free vacation. I was happy to have the assurance of a paycheck.
As far as my work goes now, I’d gladly work until I go to that permanent furlough in the sky: I have a pretty cool line of work.

Fully funded and working on my 9 as soon as this year. I've got 10 years in with my by-back.

They say we (VA) are fully funded through fiscal year 2019 so thankfully we're still getting paid.

I would have had eight in my buy back, but active duty national guard didn't count for some reason. Boo.

I was Guard for 6 and reserve for 1. I only got 13 months to buy back from time deployed OEF V. I spent my last year in IRR and thankfully didn't get called up again for another tour.
