1. Bad news. He lost his job :( It's almost worse than that because it's a stop work order for 90 days so he can burn through his paid leave (time off) and work on small projects which have no federal funding but basically he's out of a job for 3 months and then he'll (probably) be told if he's permanently out of a job. And let's just say communications on the home front aren't exactly ideal so sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get information out of him and he assumes I know things I don't know (either because he never explained it or I just don't understand how it works) and it's a nebulous situation. The administration is going to review the contracts for 90 days and decide which ones to keep and what are the chances they keep something related to the health of Africans?

2. That's about it. I did manage to hem one pair of pants. Now to tackle the second pair.
