COVID-19 Rant

Rev. Powell · March 22, 2021, 06:28:07 PM

Appointment scheduled for a week from tomorrow!

Cool, Rev! Do you know which vaccine?

It's definitely worth hanging out at a vaccine clinic at the end of their workday, asking them first of course. We call no-shows and try to get the number of doses thawed just right but often there are extra doses that we're trying not to waste. Everyone handles it somewhat differently, but if the vaccine manager knows your name for the end of the day that can always help. Ours will vaccinate people who meet guideline, and if no one is available they'll vaccinate people who don't meet guideline if available.

No, but my appointment is listed as "initial dose" so I'm guessing not J&J.

I got my second dose this morning -- it's a more intense with the immediate aftereffects.

I'm debating if I want to apply for summer school jobs — midnight tonight is the initial deadline for applications —- more positions might become available depending on student enrollment

I can't apply for pandemic unemployment without it being rejected during the summer, the school district still isn't requiring all staff to get the vaccine for some stupid reason but I should be ok with my vaccine, they're also running some trials for vaccines for school aged children

I'm leaning towards applying, but not totally sure

it just depends on what type of job i think you may want to do? if ya don't want to be around a lot of people try out for one where you aren't. or you could apply to a job that is 100% online and you don't have to go out those can make some good money if you find the right one

I ended up applying for 3 jobs I feel I could thrive at

all 3 are in person jobs, which while risky right now , I have much more confidence in working in a classroom than over a computer

I'm not very tech savvy

I figure that if I get the virus from working I could sue the district for not having a safe working environment

pennywise37 · March 27, 2021, 12:21:12 AM

i'm not tech savy either but there are a lot of online jobs not all of them are on the geek squad my friend but it was just a suggestion that's all either way i hope you find the job you want weather it's in person or not

Rev, if you mutate, can I please have the movie rights?

I finally have my appeal hearing April 13 in the morning via phone

I'm a little nervous but we'll see what happens

A new study has revealed that Covid-19 survivors are at an increased risk of depression, psychosis and stokes. Whether this is directly down to the effects of the virus or a side effect of lockdown is not however yet known.

Brazil has posted a new record number of daily deaths from the virus, holding its position in 2nd place for total deaths behind the US. As the rest of the world is moving towards getting out of this mess there are still alas a few countries with leaders who refuse to deal with the reality.

The roll-out of the Moderna vaccine has started in the UK with its first recipient receiving it in Wales.

Won't change me at all, then!

Well, Michigan is spiking!

Not surprised. Tiana is working 12 hour days. Stupid toothless hillrats won't get the shot. You can walk into a gas station or party store, and they don't watch the news, or anything. No masks.
They are not bad people. We are all pretty poor around where I live. When I was raising children as a single parent making $ 8 an hour, I didn't give a rat's ass what was going on, news wise. I was in an emotional tornado every day.

there was a dumb bi*ch on tv yesterday or the day before on the news i mean, where they were talking about a diner i think? i don't remember where it was but the judge in that county is now letting the folks at some diner not have to wear masks and they were on the news saying how grateful they are blah blah blah.

how hard is it to wear a f.... mask? i want to go out to eat or go to the movies any time i feel like and not have to wear a mask just like everyone here wants to go back to normal. but with these f..... moron's refusing to wear masks i'm not taking any chances. they than had on the news about what do people think about concerts and such... most of the people were smart and said it's not safe enough yet and they are 100% correct but than you had moron's saying they should start concerts back up again cause they'd go to them. yeah my guess without masks and while the last time the world had pandemic it was 1918 i have a feeling they had a lot less stupid people out there. it never has once occurred to these idiots that they are making it worse by not wearing masks and not getting the shot.

sorry i just had to vent
