I work for the federal government in Washington D.C., and usually get paid in the first week of every month. But with this shutdown, my paycheck notice never arrived. Rent, school bus fare for my child, the menu for dinner—all paused. At night I can’t sleep—not from lack of money, but the question “Will I have money tomorrow?” hanging over me. #GovernmentShutdown #FederalWorkers #PayDelay
