    Wow, those assholes actually shut down the government.

    That's what I wake up to? Nice to know our government is so hateful that they're willing to shut down the government just to screw over immigrant children.

    It's always so interesting when people think they are at the centre of the universe, when in actuality they are not - regardless of the situation they find themselves in. *Sigh*

    Can someone explain? I haven't really heard of a government shutting down, and I'm picturing it happening when there is literally a bomb flying over your country.

    So I’m not an expert in politics (so if I’m wrong, please someone correct me). However, a government shut down here in the US usually means that congress couldn’t agree on a federal budget for the upcoming fiscal year. If congress agrees and passes all the necessary bills that have to do with the budget, they won’t shut down. In this case, they couldn’t agree, so they shut down, and our government won’t receive funding until they’re able to reach a consensus I think. So the whole government doesn’t literally shut down, but certain offices of the government shut down, and it can affect certain groups of people. It also might affect government employees because I don’t think they can work or get paid until congress reaches a decision and the government is no longer shut down....so those employees are basically put on unpaid leave. Usually congress is able to reach a last-minute consensus before the midnight deadline, but this time they weren’t able to. We haven’t had a shut down in a while, so people are freaking out about it a little bit.

    All it really means is that non-essential personnel who work for the federal government are furloughed until Congress appropriates the money to reopen the government. The employees aren’t paid during the shutdown, but they do receive back pay once it’s over.

    The mail still runs and Social Security checks still get sent electronically, so most people are only inconvenienced if they need to visit a Social Security office or planned to visit the Smithsonian in DC.

    I love it when it rains. It's been cloudy with on/off rain all day. Makes me miss Illinois. I think I want to move to Washington.

    There’s this Tim Horton’s commercial of a dad and daughter who are FaceTiming at a Tim Horton’s, and me and my dad are kind of doing the same thing except over the Oilers Canucks hockey game, and instead of FaceTiming we’re just texting back and forth over the game.

    One year I’m going to have to make it to the Super Bowl. It’ll be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, but I’ve got to make it to one.

    Fuck, I'm needy. It's been a few days without hanging out with friends and I'm already lonely.
