Got an email from company HR today which said they were waiting on official guidance from the many government sites they support. There was a NOTE at the end which suggested that (their interpretation) the mandate would apply to the entire company as soon as one contract was changed and took effect.

So, renegotiate contract X, award it/renew it, and now the remaining 100+ contracts are also included and covered by the mandate?

Don't know how that can hold water legally, but who knows what might happen these days. I'm still hoping for my work to last until October 2022.

But ... just in case, today I started tidying up my work area with an eye toward bringing home my personal stuff a bit at a time. When I get it down to things I can pick up and carry out in less than a minute, I'll be ready for the hammer to fall.

I don't hold anything against the people I work with, but when the time comes for me to leave I won't be coming back. Told my government 'boss' that already. I have exactly zero interest in filling out another SF-86. Anybody who's been there knows what I mean.

Hey TG, when the time eventually comes I wonder if I could borrow a 'flying fuck' from you to hand them on my way out the door? I've run out.

Naaaahhh. Never mind.
