We had an exam yesterday in my genetics class.  During the exams I project the official time for Hawai'i on the screen so that my students can easily see how much time they have left.  However, because of the budget negotiation failure and partial government shutdown, the website I usually use was not available.  I projected it on the screen anyway.

And in the lower corner I opened the computer's clock settings so they could see that instead.  I announced that the government may be shutdown but we are not, so we are still having the exam today.  I also added that they may want to contact their representatives.
