Moe has a bad case of the "furlough blues." He had to report back to work today, and heard that advanced training is starting. He also heard that Sey R. and Mac S. have brought their wives with them which he thinks is a bad idea. He is proud of Sylvia for standing up so well at the station when she said goodbye.
