    But hey- I'm always tilting at windmills, aren't I?

    I had neighbor's that really thought as a Federal Employee I didn't pay income tax. Good luck James.
    May the force be with us.

    I'm a newer Fed employee and everyone wonders why I don't have weeks & weeks of vacation (like many of them do, private industry professionals). I'm still on the 4hrs/pay period plan. Perceptions of our benefits are certainly interesting.

    A friend of mine just accepted a Fed job and I overheard her talking about a 2-3 week vacation she was planning for the coming spring! I had to gingerly tell her that she may want to hold off on those reservations.
    2011: 12.73%; 2012: 16.44 %, 2013: 17.46%, 2014: 5.35 ; Past 12 months 6.81% as of 01/31/2015

    Nice thing about Gov't work....Boss can authorize leave without pay or advance an employee leave or.....gasp... use sick leave....But then it's all about who you work for.
    THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!
