Regardless of whose "fault" it is, you're the one with the concussion askye. Take whatever time you need to be sure you're in shape to handle the effort of a workday, work can deal with it.

Also, you're short-handed and swamped with orders - I doubt there were complaints about you "moving too fast" when you were efficiently getting the fricking job done.

It's wonderful hearing all the Buffista stories of trans family members being loved and accepted!

Yes! Congrats to your daughter on the job offer, too, Gud. That’s exciting!

Shingles vaccine complete!

Concussions need to be taken seriously. Listen to the advice of the doctors and save yourself from more issues later.

Now tagless for your comfort.

You cannot be too careful when it comes to concussions!

Gud, both my kids are trans. Robin (formerly Owen) and Oliver (former Olivia). Congrats to your daughter—that’s an awesome job offer! (And I am not surprised by her skills.)

I really hope you are filing a worker's comp claim for your injury, askye. It is 100% shitty of them to blame their hazardous workplace on you.

Huh. I swung by Dunkin' before my shingles shot and they were out of both the Holiday Blend coffee and the Cranberry-orange muffin. They told me they were giving me a blueberry muffin instead, but now that I am getting around to eating it it seems to be chocolate chip. Which is fine, but not one of the options they gave me for a replacement muffin.

The medical facility where you were treated should have asked if it happened at work. You do need to be sure that is on record.

DH is now boosted! He ended up being on both teams now as they only had Moderna and he was Pfizer. So MMM here and PPM for him. It's all good.

I had the option to choose any of the varieties for my booster - I went with Pfizer same as the first two shots because I don't know of any reason not to. Maybe if I'd tried one of the others I could have gotten an earlier date, but I didn't think to try that.
