Our contract is up for renewal right now, and in true government efficiency, they have not signed the paperwork. I hope my manager doesn't ask us to use vacation time so they can stay profitable though. I would hate to have to do that. Being on the bench stinks.

Having the upcoming week off could be really fun and chill--especially after a full semester of work and classes. You deserve it! And the deep tissue massage.

I work for a military/federal contractor and this has happened to me more than once (through other similar employers). It always gets a little tense around here when recompete time comes around, even though we're all but guaranteed to win. Good luck, man; I know that they'll hook you up with something soon given your proven value. (If not, send me an email and I'll refer you for a few positions in my company.)
