I wish. If that was the case I'd pay for everyone. I work for the state, buddy, not the Feds. Those fuckers have a license to print money. Hell, come Tuesday I won't get paid until we have a budget in place. That could be all fucking summer.

I dont know. Latest is if they dont have something in place by next weekend they won't even rush to get it done. They are saying maybe end of August. Once the budget is passed everyone goes home for the summer and I sit here on my duff till Fall.

Would you get any compensation? Like unemployment or something?

Nope. We get paid eventually, but the state isn't allowed to spend any money if there is no budget. So that means all state workers go without pay until then. Once it's passed we get all the money we are owed.
