The government isn't "shutdown" its just the employees aren't getting paid, they'll get back pay once, when, or if the government comes back on. But I've heard some people aren't working at all until the government is back on.

I’m pretty sure there are departments that are just closed because federal employees are lazy leeches. If they can take a day off and get paid, they will.
