Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm moving to a new position under my favorite manager, for more money, and with the chance to learn a bunch of cool things. And I didn't have to go through the interview process for it—my future manage just went to HR and said, "We need her on our team. Please make it happen." Yay!

That is fantastic, Calli! You've earned it.

Maybe your fresh crop of antibodies knocks out the long COVID once and for all? Purely anecdata, but my “tested positive, felt lousy for two days“ second bout in November put an end to the lingering fatigue and breathyness I’d endured since my proper scary first bout in the middle of September.

Yeah, I had another friend who was really hit hard by long covid, and then he had another bout of it and did Pavloxid and he finally started having energy again.

I want to believe. Me and Mulder. Sitting in an isolation tree. Definitely not kissing because I have freaking Covid ... uh ... e-f-g.

Thanks, everyone!

I hope this happens for you, Cass.

Way to go Calli! ONWARDS!

Cass, I hope it is mild and passes quickly.

I've been reading and I feel like not posting much.

Life is going well. Mac is doing well. Work is chaotic and we are short staffed in leadership roles which means some things that two years ago were being done by a Deputy Director are now being done by us, admin staff, and that is NOT GREAT.

You got this, Tom. Have you been working on solving the puzzle?

It is my wfh day and Mac is working so I have an empty house and I am feeling like having a slightly low-productive workday and then I see my to do list and wahhh. I want to flake off and take 10-15 minute breaks every hour.

Hmm, Maybe I will put on a movie instead and do as much of the non-thinky work as possible.
