I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, February often makes me want therapy. So fair point I guess?
It is!
How is it only 12:40?

Y'all should not tease the west coast like that.

You guys want to hear something that's both cool and kind of scary? I know you do!
There's a bad hepatitis A outbreak in the area (I think Kentucky's is very VERY bad, but Ohio's is pretty bad, too.) One of my friends works in public health in Dayton, and one of the things he does is go to prisons and health fairs to administer vaccines, including the hep A vaccine. Yesterday his boss told him that the Ohio Department of Health said that about 3,500 vaccines for hep A had been administered. My friend asked "In our county? Or the whole state?" Boss said the whole state. And my friend said, "Are you kidding? You DO know that I've administered literally 1,000 hep A vaccines, right?" His boss said, "I sure do! You are our hero!"
My friend has single-handedly given 1/3 of ALL the hep A vaccines in the entire state. Daaaaamn. He's like some kind of vaccination Johnny Appleseed.

Wow! He should get a medal!

That is...not very many vaccinations for a whole state! Yikes! I guess if it's targeted that may be an appropriate number but wow!

No, I feel like it should be more vaccinations, because 3,500 is definitely not a lot for a whole state. And that's why there's a big problem with Hep A, I guess.

I'm so sorry, Fred.

Vaccine Johnny Appleseed is a superhero!
He said "I just LOVE stabbing people with needles!" (I asked "...is that what you said to get hired? What is wrong with your county's public health department???")

ION, I just started editing an article about female surgeons who are mothers, and how their domestic responsibilities affect their career. I'm only in the abstract, and I got to a sentence about how the authors divided the group into those who have sole responsibility for less than 5 domestic tasks, and those who have sole responsibility for 5 or more domestic tasks.
That's the point at which I realized the article is probably going to have a list of "domestic tasks" and I'm going to see just how many of them (other than childcare, of course) I *don't* do. I'm cringing already.
