Ended up with a double post, so I deleted the second one. Which means I've now triple-posted.

I am on hour 3 of orientation and here's what we've done:
- workplace violence
- EAP
- Sexual Harassment
Not even halfway through the slides. I hate everything.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Embarrassing scenario: say you get scratched on your bare leg by a piece of old metal (kind of like thick wire, like you'd make a trellis with). It's definitely a scratch, not a puncture, but it's about 4 inches long and drew blood.
Do you go get a tetanus shot or not?
I am extremely clumsy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
If the metal isn't rusted or anything like that, I wouldn't go to the doctor. But I'm more likely not to see a doctor when I should than the other way around.

Me, too.

Well, it's been outdoors for years, so it's not exactly clean.

That's exactly when you get a tetanus shot if you haven't had one recently. I guess a scratch is more easily cleaned than a puncture so maybe you don't need it but I think it's a good idea.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I personally would not get a tetanus shot for a shallow scratch. Puncture wounds are different and harder to clean and more easily infected.
Clean off the scratch and it should be fine.

Gud made me google and now I'm slightly more depressed than I already was.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Most people aren't wearing masks in public here in Australia. It's not really become necessary.
They are of course wearing them in the hospitals, however, as we discovered yesterday when we had to take Biyi's father to emergency. (Not the 'rona, but still worrying). I couldn't go in with them - limit of one accompanist per patient. We got there around 5 pm, he didn't see a doctor until eight hours later. Biyi and I didn't get to bed until 4 am. (I don't know when her dad got any sleep, sounds like they spent the rest of the night on medical stuff.)
He's still at the hospital, though he's been traded to a different hospital (big leagues now). Very happy to see Biyi this evening as it meant he had someone to complain to. (The doctors were happy to see her too because some of his meds were in Chinese.) We're still waiting for a diagnosis. They've ruled out infection, but that's about it.
Anyway, Biyi got some rest today, so she's feeling less stressed, thankfully. Waiting eight hours left her pretty wrecked.
