I've just had my first negative repercussion of the shutdown.

The battery in my watch died today, the band also needed to be replaced, plus the bezel was scratched, so I bought a new watch. I went to my favorite site to set the time...

I received the following message:

"NIST Closed, NIST and Affiliated Web Sites Not Available"

"Due to a lapse in government funding - blah, blah, blah."

I'm so INCONVENIENCED!!!!! LOL

Heh, no wonder congress has only a 10% approval rating. I think it's about time to implement some Term Limits on those clowns.
