There are an estimated 70,000 federal government employees in Montgomery County and two major federal employers in Bethesda.

If you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of federal government employees who have been furloughed since the government shutdown last week, we want to know what you’re up to.

Whether you work at NIH, NSAB, Walter Reed or in another agency, how has the shutdown affected you?

What are you doing to pass the time today? Feel free to leave comments about what you have been doing during the now weeklong shutdown.
