Regarding the statement that OPM would provide instructions by Friday for employees on what they need to do to ensure continued coverage for benefits that would lapse – shame on OPM for waiting so late to post those instructions. I hate to say this because I’ve been a fan of OPM for a long time now. But it’s not like “furlough” is a novel…[Read more]

I downloaded the attached 4-page summary from Fedweek.com. It’s pretty straightforward and didn’t tell me anything that I didn’t already know. But I’m posting it here in case it’s of help to others. That website did say this could be distributed widely.

I was employed by the federal government in the DC area during the ’95/’96 shut downs – I think the total # days was about a month, unless my memory is failing me. Some things about that period really stand out in my mind and I don’t think I will ever forget:

Wonder if Magellan will do something similar. That’s just the neatest thing I’ve heard all week. It’s right up there with Star Wars and Dr. Who ring tones for BlackBerry.

Out of 20 questions, I answered yes to 17 of them. As I write this, some colleagues are waiting on me for a special happy hour to celebrate the end of a training event. And I’ll leave to join them just as soon as I can get a couple more things done before calling it a day . . . And since I’m not going to be able to log in my usual 10 to 12 hours,…[Read more]

I actually like the new site better. It has a cleaner look, so I can focus on only what I want without the distractions of cutesy stuff. And it took me a moment; but I now see how to check for all jobs within an agency. First clear the filters for “What” and “Where”; then scroll down a bit to see the list of filters “Refine your Results” on the…[Read more]
