True for civilians, but contractors may be a different story.

Exactly. They are completely defeating the ability to show the impact. If the work is getting done in spite of one day off, guess what. No impact. Once the big whigs see there is no impact on paper, you may NEVER get your Friday back. Permanent 32 hour weeks.
And as a contractor, we ABSOLUTELY have to account for each and every hour we work. We cannot work 'extra' hours and not put it on the time sheet. Grounds for dismissal.

As it turns out my contract wasn't affected; however, we had a contingency that if we had to take Friday's off we would work four 10-hour days. :shrug:

I do have the option of burning my vacation leave to make up the time, but that is not how I want to burn it.

What's "unprofessional" is those folks in Congress not getting their sh*t together and coming up with a budget so this didn't have to happen. They still get their salary, they still get their perks, they still get their vacations and they don't suffer at all for failing to do the job they were elected to do. THe problem is there is no incentive for them to do any better. THAT's what we need to fix.
IMHO, every single person who is furloughed should use this message and people impacted by lack of access need to light up the switchboard on Capitol Hill.

I hadn't realized contractors were affected; where I'm at, we're all pretty much protected by our contract.

My bf works outside of the base. He came home on Tuesday saying there was more traffic than usual going in to work at 3:00. I explained to him it was because of the new base work hours due to the furlough. He has to leave for work earlier now.
Those of us that are seated in government spaces cannot be at work unless there is CS or military there. If you are out in town, you may be okay because you have a place to go.

Your post is hypocritical and has been reported.
No need; the NSA already got it.
