.... even if we were willing to do so. Even though I was an employee of the Dept of the Army, I was not deemed to be "essential" and was furloughed. We were warned NOT to come into work, and there were armed guards at the gate and at the building entrance to make sure we didn't come in anyway. So, my organization's Scientific Advisor and I both spent the week at the pistol range, skeet range, did some kayaking and canoeing around Monterey Bay, and generally had a good time for a week.
When the shutdown ended we went back to work the next week. And of course we really did get paid for the week we were furloughed.
I expect the same thing will happen this time.
