I'm working because I've been designated as excepted/essential. I'm limited on the work I can do, and have no idea when I'll get paid, although I'm sure to get it eventually. Those who were furloughed might get paid for the time they've been furloughed, but they won't know for sure until Congress passes a bill saying that they will get their back pay. I'm about ready to get out for good...! Tired of no pay-raises or bonuses for three years, sequestration, and now furloughs for who knows how long.
