Today, my local news feed informed me that our county executive has declared a state of emergency as COVID hospitalizations increased dramatically. Thankfully, the number of hospitalizations is a mere 84 patients, though that's 84 too many. Our governor has already ordered thirty hospitals in-state to halt elective surgical procedures... well, there goes my plan to get butt implants!
When I read news that the omicron variant was detected in NY State, I joked that I might go into hermit mode for the next six months, and that plan seems even more appealing now. This time of year, I typically only see three human coworkers in the course of a week. In the meantime, I received confirmation that the HR department deemed my emailed photograph of my COVID Vaccination Card sufficient proof of vaccination (no proper scan and export as PDF needed)- failure to provide proof by 12/8 would have meant suspension without pay. I'm totally cool with that policy.
Dear BBBB,
ReplyDeleteI cut off every one of my friends who either told me they supported TFG45, or began putting TFG45 decals on everything. Initially, I ignored their Emails and FB posts, but eventually I had to move to a "Get the fuck away from me" position, with accompanying unfriendings on FB and "spam" labels on their Email.
At first, losing some of "those people" hurt, but I came to discover I had less stress in my life.
Pro tip: scan your shot record and save it as a PDF for your telephone.
Best,
Father Duffy
