These are always pretty ridiculous, because it generally comes down to just giving extra leave days to .gov employees.
During the Clinton shutdown, I was just a contractor, so I just did other stuff. During the Obama shutdown, the day after it was announced, I was in Mammoth fishing and treating myself to the most expensive steak on the steakhouse menu to congratulate myself on my good luck.
I did a whole rant here during that shutdown because so many gov workers were whining about it. Most everyone I worked with was in the double digit GS levels and on around a 23% locality pay. A couple of them were crying about how they'd lose their homes. That shutdown (from memory) started around the beginning of a pay period, and they pretty quickly announced that we would indeed be paid. At that time, we only had one uniformed person, an O-3, in the office, and I actually felt sorry for her because she was the one stuck showing up for work while the rest of us got a "vacation".
At the end, IIRC, we got our "shutdown pay period" pay minus three days of pay, which was quickly made up for. Additionally, they did a deal where anyone that needed money could borrow from their TSP without penalty. Anyone that "was going to die" because of three days, could have borrowed from their TSP and paid it back when we were back on schedule.
It will be interesting to see how this one goes. It could easily be over by Monday. The last one, as mentioned above, was pretty "doom and gloom" mostly because of Obama creating that illusion with the "make it hurt" philosophy. Trump looks to be going in the opposite direction in that regard. While complaining about a shutdown being bad, he also seems to be pushing for making it nearly unnoticeable for people's day to day lives, While I probably could not drive into Yosemite or Sequoia National Parks today because of their few bottlenecked entry points, I bet I could drive into Death Valley NPS today and see most all the outdoor sights. Obama chained up picnic areas that would normally not have even seen a Federal worker show up more than once a month. Just to "make it hurt".
Anyways, congrats Dogmush on the bonus leave.
