Today was my last day at work for the Summer. I got furloughed, which means I've been asked to do no work, for which I won't get paid. It could be worse; I'll have insurance, at least.
On my way in for my last day, I noticed a sign I had never seen before. The overwhelming appropriateness of it made me stop and get a picture taken.

Courage.
