Maybe we should withhold our federal taxes until the government let's us go back to work and compensates contract workers.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

I'm a contracted employee for the federal government and the difference is that there is no chance of compensation for the shutdown days for me and others in my position. #ShutdownStories

[NPSF @Newstent1]

Another day to watch my savings dwindle away.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

New update. I received an email from my employer suggesting that I file for unemployment until I can return to work. Oh the irony.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@bigbeersnob @kp51xc90 There are a lot of different circumstances. I have only dealt with my contractor in a few emails and initial interview. Since I started I have worked exclusively for one manager in the federal government.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@texascookie77 Well if it weren't for the hiring freeze I probably would have been picked up as a government employee. But your probably right I must be worth less than someone with a government title.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

While the shutdown continues to build financial angst for many of us, I would like to thank everyone for their encouragement and support and will keep posting until we are all back to work. We may may have differing political views but we are unified by our motivation. Thank you.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@george_kurz Either way it's a waiting game.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@Strollyneaux I wish you the best and we all are hoping this shutdown does not last.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@ficoguy Well it's through a contractor but because I'm hourly I will not receive compensation. I've been fortunate to have enough financial stability to maintain status quo if we have a short shutdown but I sympathize others less fortunate.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@Brenda77714 No it's more like there has been a 5 year hiring freeze in... The department I reside and I was sourced from an outside company so you can put your assumptions elsewhere.

@MrJamesMay I would like to let you know that I have very much enjoyed the Reassembler series.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@ABC This just in, ABC reporting allegations on a story that would otherwise be local news.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@NBCNews @NBCLatino Single handed? That's amazing... Or an exaggeration.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@joerogan That cop must be pretty anal.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@billmaher I don't think most Republicans and Democrats support pulling out.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@joerogan That doesn't seem right.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@rickygervais Damn you twitter

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@tedcruz @benshapiro Say what you want about politics, that was a deep burn

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@forestsoceans @NBCNews @NBCOUT Maybe I'm playing the devil's advocate but I state this because we have very little information surrounding the situation. Like the college swimmer that was accused of rape. Turns out it was a false allegation but the news destroyed him publicly before a verdict was reached.

[NPSF @Newstent1]

@forestsoceans @NBCNews @NBCOUT There's no argument that if the principal did that it was wrong. I just have the problem with the statement he should be punished. That's for the board of education to decide. If the verdict is bad then it becomes NBCs job to show the facts of the case.
