This happened on Tuesday but I'm just now thinking to post it here. I'm now a federal employee just like Ro! ;-D. Been too long since I've had a full time gig.

How is this possible? I thought all federal employees were forloughed?
Nope. Not all. The VA is not affected by any furloughs whatsoever. In fact my department has mandatory overtime. I can't do it now, since I'm in training, but will do OT when available.
Also congrats @Dromaro. Welcome to the club. Just get past your year probation, don't mess around and you'll be solid.
Just for clarification, the Ro connection is only insofar as we both work for the US Federal government. I work for the USPS, specifically.
My great grandfather (paternal) was the first postmaster of Orange County, CA. where I live. My grandfather (paternal) was also a carrier for many years before dying early of a heart attack. My dad, when he was looking for work in '78, applied to USPS but because the application process was so slow he'd been forced to take a job elsewhere by the time they got back to him. Kind of a thing in my family. =D
I was skeptical of ET3, since that video didn't mention what kind of acceleration forces people would be under (to get to that 4k mph top speed), but a quick perusal of their FAQs yields the answer: Those travel times are for a horizontal acceleration of only 1g. That's very doable. Personally I'd be comfortable going up to 3g's, but I realize not everyone would be ok with that.
