That really blows. It's crap like that that makes me glad to be in the Military. It may not be the most glamorous job at times, but I know something like that won't happen (unless the moron's in DC can't get their act together and shut down the gov't). I totally don't blame you for moving back to LA. Aaron had it worked out with his old company in OK to work remotely after we moved, and they let that go for about 3 months and then laid him off. It's been crappy for us too.
That's not too bad of a drive, that's about how it is from our house just east of Pensacola to Aaron's parents in Luling.
