I know there should be some change,as I suppose they dont count saturday or sunday.but it seemed like they were exaggerating the amount of federal days left until recently.

Yeah, eric,

I pointed the error out about a week ago. I downloaded the .gif way back when, and it is a free standing Applet. About a week ago, I noticed that TASC had arbitrarily added 5 to the number of FEDERAL DAYS. Someone over there goofed...the copy of their Applet on my Start Menu now returns a value ofMinus ONE for Federal Days 'till the Roll!
