I was furloughed and therefore take extra offense at his comment. Being jobless for over a year making quite a bit less than even first year guarantee on the government dole because you can't find a single decent-paying job hurts a lot. But at least I "got to spend more time with my family." According to Joe Costanza the XJT rep, my quality of life improved because I was furloughed.
That's news to me and my family.
