Thanks for the heads up. This means I won't be buying anything else from them for a long time.

Of course he wouldn't get it until at least the end of April since Amazon isn't shipping anything but essentials right now.

You know those 2 threads are toxic when you go to Facebook to get away from the madness.

Speaking of essentials, Governor Hogan can kiss my butt as I am going out and buying Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on DVD this week. I deem that essential if I'm going to be stuck in the house and allowed to do nothing for who knows how long.

Nope, her brother did. The same pain in the butt that introduced her to a table and Facebook and yet we have to answer 5 million questions like we are tech support.

So of course after the Governor announces his stay at home order, I had to have an employee immediately e-mail me and ask if that means we don't have to go to work.

It wasn't even my hypochondriac employee either.

Nope it was my subcontractor who I shutdown a week and a half ago from working off site.

Of course he claims another contract group is doing it. Told him thanks for the info as they are violating the Contracting Officers orders and I'll make sure to notify her tomorrow.

I'm already trying to figure a way to add it to our proposals for the re-compete.

Something about during the pandemic, GDIT was fully staffed 100% of the time and CACI was "teleworking" against the Contracting Officers rules.

In my experience that is when CACI gets an award for thinking outside the box
