The Washington Post had an article on June 30, 2013 titled “They said the sequester would be scary. Mostly, they were wrong.” It said the effects were largely mitigated by political means and methods after all.
I contacted him when the course was next being held to find out if they might be able to attend this time and the answer was “no”. He elaborated, “They’ve even stopped cutting the grass (knee high is some places) and our restrooms only get cleaned twice a week. Sequestration is hurting us badly.”
To this I responded, “Holy cow! Knee high grass.”
He came back with, “We could use a few cows.”
Please feel free to share your Sequestration story.
Sequestration and recently introduced “Furlough Fridays” have affected a lot of our customers. Everybody deals with this situation differently, but some of us really embrace the meaning of the phrase “When life gives you lemon make lemonade”. Pentagon civilian employee, John Martin, did just that.
“Furlough Fridays” is a song set in the style of “Monday, Monday” by The Mamas & the Papas.
