Missed A Day

[desertvixen]

 Stupid oversight.  The last few days have featured sleeping about as late as I can manage, probably due to lingering after-effect of the flu shot.

 Also could be blamed on the fact that I was reading posts in the post about fixing errors in nominations later than I should have been.

 However, I plan to post twice today, so that will make up for it.

 There is football today, but since AFN is affected by the shutdown, we won't be seeing it.  Complaining about it feels really petty, so I'll leave it at that.  Right now, more worried about the whole debt ceiling thing because while the "Pay Our Military Act" affected shutdown-related loss of pay, the debt ceiling screws us again.  At least that's the message I'm getting from what we're seeing.

 Oh, and I'm also procrastinating on homework.

The announcers mentioned that you guys wouldn't be able to watch the games today.

Petty, petty, petty. That's all our government knows how to be lately.

They managed to get us a game or two somehow, I suspect through people's personal resources.

The pettiness is annoying, but so is the whole "will we get paid" question. For me, not such a big deal with the extra money I am making on deployment, but there are people who aren't as well-off. It's also screwing with my plan to utilize the Savings Deposit Program as efficiently as I would like.

But as I said, there are people far worse off than I am.

True. So far I'm not being affected by the shutdown personally, but because I live near three national parks and more military installations than in most areas, I know an awful lot of people who are.
