I've ordered some small things from overseas--China and Germany--and although they were shipped from the sources quite some time ago, nothing has showed up. Has the shutdown stopped the processing of small packages at Customs and so they are piling up in warehouses someplace?

I purchased, on ebay, a HDMI to Cat5 to HDMI extender. It took 10 days to arrive.

Did you get a tracking number?

The Government's been shut down since 9-11. :lol:

Would it be worse if you weren’t getting paid?

They said the shutdown only happened to non essential government workers. Non essential??? Why were they hired in the first place???

If my boss stopped paying me, I'd find another job.

Look at it this way. They've had a long paid vacation.

OK.. we're done.

I didn't have much hope for the subject line anyway.
