I'm finally returning to work tomorrow for the first time since the pandemic started

I'm nervous because I sub in an elementary school district and they're not old enough for any vaccines

also the school district isn't required all staff to be vaccinated

also, I reaggravated my sprained ankle a few weeks ago too...

so I decided to started with somewhere familiar to ease back into working

I have a 3 and a half hour job where I did my second internship... think I'll bring my cane

A bus was late to pick up a bunch students. While waiting for this a student pulled a fire alarm. Before this a student ran out of the room I was in....he was dragged back by 4 staff/teachers, then was clinging to the floor and refused to get up when the bell for dismissal came. By some miracle he got on his bus before it left. How was your day at work?

Oh... and it was an awesome day aside from this.

i believe your balls swelled in the hospital but this chick who yeah i've heard of her but i cannot name one song of hers let alone what kind of music she does have no idea nor do i care either. but one case if that's true is nothing to use an old term to write home about out of millions of guys who have had no such issue.

does anyone here believe her? to me it sounds like she sounds like she wants people not to take the shot because one guy if it's true which i doubt had a bad reaction.

No, no one believes her. She fell for an obvious urban legend. She's gullible. She backed off when she got all the negative press she wasn't expecting. This is another really stupid story about a celebrity who said something stupid.

I might caught covid from a student yesterday as I was up all night with chills

Damn, and you just started a few days ago. Get well soon.

Rev. Powell · September 22, 2021, 11:25:00 AM

Feel better, bob.

My little brother is expected to get out of the hospital by the end of the week. He wasn't on a ventilator or any of the more serious Covid complications but he just wasn't getting better. They've given him stuff to clear out his lungs which has had him coughing until his ribs ache, but it is helping me. His biggest problem at the moment is that he is on a general ward and keeps getting woken up in the middle of the night by naked old men running about with their junk hanging out. He has been ill since a few days before I went to the Ray Harryhausen exhibition. Good thing he got his jabs,

I'd have hated to have seen how bad it would have gotten for him otherwise.

Kristi's has several cousins in a bad way. One family is facing expected medical bills of $300,000 and have started a just giving to try and meet the costs. Given they are anti-vaxxers I am in two minds on whether or not I should donate, or save my money for people who have done what they can to avoid this situation or not. I don't mind helping out, but I only have so much to go around and there is a lot of people out there needing help. It isn't relatives of Kristi I've met so perhaps I should just leave it up to her to decide. She knows my mind on it.

i wouldn't donate i'm to the point that the ones who are pro vaccine i just can't feel anything but just anger, it's their own damn fault for getting it, now i'm not saying i want any of them to die i don't. but i'd rather you donate money to help your brother if that was needed but that's just me. i'm glad he's doing better though, naked men? what? why? i dunno how to respond to that one.

as of today our numbers are down though

I am assuming you mean anti-vaccine there instead of pro. My brother won't have any medical bills as health care isn't ran that way in the UK. You pay for your health care via a system called National Insurance which basically means when you need treatment, it is free at the point of use. As to why naked old men are running around in the middle of the night waking everyone else up.

I have no idea on that one.

I've spent 11 weeks in the hospital since last year September. There have been patients that probably needed special care at special hospitals. Mostly older people with dementia, and they would run around half or fully naked at night, waking other patients. It all depends on how many staff there is and how much they can and should handle. That's one thing I've learned being a patient at hospitals is that these things do happen.

I ended up getting tested today -- if I have to wait for the results tomorrow, which is what it's looking like if not longer, that means my first full week back to work will be a clusterbomb only worked 2 of the 5 days-- they already pulled me off work tomorrow and said to reclaim the job if I test negative after I emailed the school and said why I couldn't work today and yesterday

however, the COVID safety protocols given to me after I emailed the district COVID people said I need get tested 48 hours after symptoms are gone, but I still got some chills today so --- I plan on getting tested again on Monday no matter how the results from today turn out
