Shutdown Meira, Day 2 / ??

Essential government workers still have to work without pay. Meira is taking her job seriously, making sure the atmosphere behaves and stays convectively stable through dutiful Skew-T/Log-P thermodynamic analysis.

(Don’t tell the government but I’m paying her in treats)

"Thanks for all the hard work surviving this year and doing your jobs with excellence, despite the chaos. Oh, performance bonuses? lol no."

Andrew Lyons @twisterkid34.bsky.social · 20d

In case anyone was wondering what's new for Federal Employees ahead of the looming shutdown, we just found out our yearly performance bonuses have been rescinded because of the chaos around performance plan quotas.

Because kicking us while we are down and about to be broke wasnt enough!

I dont disagree with you but they are extremely cheap and the ammo is very avaliable on the surplus market. I bought one for $150 several years ago.
