Feb 12

I have been through a couple including the Carnival Cruz "Green Eggs and Ham" shutdown back in 2013. Thankfully I retired before the worst ones that happened in 2018 - 2019 (35-day) and that last one in fall 2025 that was 43 days.

For the Gingrich shutdown back in 1995 - 1996, my agency was one of the few that had been funded so me and my coworkers were coming into our office building (which was multi-agency) with only a handful of other agencies in there that had employees working, but otherwise, the building was completely empty.
