what is AME? Did you mean AMA?

 

[CorpKiller]

Yes, it was late when I created the thread.

Ask me anything.

 

[Aleksandar37]

are you doing alright? Some people I know had savings accounts for times like this, but a lot are struggling.

So far so good. I’m really not buying much of anything. Just groceries and paying the bills. My wife us a teacher so her salary is consistent. The furlough has helped develop some good spending habits, but if it goes a few more months may have to consider picking up a side job.

 

[CorpKiller]

Yeah, no doubt a lot of people are struggling.

Sort of good news for you today. Hope you get your back pay asap and don't have to relive this again in 3 weeks!

Yeah. I’m glad to be going back but the political drama is frustrating.

This better not happen in three weeks!

Yeah. I’m glad to be going back but the political drama is frustrating.

What Department do you work for? Just wondering? My department falls under the DOD, and we where fully funded. But I know DHS, and DOT both got screwed, along with a few others.

I second this, but I'm sure it will

Yeah. Who knows what will happen.
