OK today we are 6 and 1/2 months into the fiscal year and the Senate today voted yes to the budget for FY 2011. What does that mean???---well all the federal workers who have been re-doing their planning for work to be accomplished get to do it one more time before they really start on what Congress is paying them to do.
This whole process has been a monumental waste of money. The people doing the work have planned their year at least five times so far and get to do it at least one more time. They have not been able to go forward with contracts to accomplish their work because of the budget situation. Sure there have been a few contracts that moved forward without guaranteed funding but there are trade-offs associated with that of using all the available money to pay the contract and not hire any seasonal help. Now the money is available they can go back to the plans and modify them so they know what kind of temporary workforce they can hire for the remainder of the year to complete their projects.
AND THIS MY FRIENDS IS THE VERY REASON I GOT OUT OF THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE. THEY NOW HAVE 5 1/2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE A YEARS WORTH OF WORK. THIS IS INSANITY.

Well not quite 6 1/2 months---this comes in one day ahead of that.
It seems the budget process just gets crazier.
Probably because there are more of us to satisfy---but no excuse for not doing it.
