And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was on a call the other day and someone started talking about “Becky from HR” and it really took me a bit to process that it wasn’t social commentary, it was an actual person.
Bwah!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
But now we have a VP of People, a Director of People, and People programs and it all sounds weird
This just got the Up With People song stuck in my head.
ION, I haven't developed superpowers yet. Still hoping for a really cool one. Or flashy but useless.
I have in fact lost my sense of smell, and it is so fucking weird. I have a pumpkin spice Yankee Candle, and I stuck my nose in the jar and took a deep sniff, and...NOTHING. I can still taste stuff, though probably not as strongly as I would if my sniffer were working. But I just ate some mashed taters, and I could taste them, and I could taste the butter on them as its own distinct taste.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Who had Super Sniffer in the Steph’s Powers Pool? You’re out.
I do hope you persist with only the “hey, that’s weird” symptoms.

That's the general goal of the monoclonal antibodies -- not to make the patient feel better, as much as to stop the patient from getting worse. That's fair.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Super Sniffer makes me picture thenCincinnati zoo anteaters, like Winsol

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
no one will let us change to Instructional Design Team because they like a pun acronym.
I have never met any group so enamored of punny acronyms as scientists who named their field campaigns. And then they would argue with me about capitalization and camel-casing things, because somehow it wasn't as funny in all caps.

Go monoclonal antibodies! Be very successful!

Rooting for the monoclonal antibodies indeed!!
Feeling a bit bummed tonight because of my tightest circle of friends, one already has the vaccine, one has been told she can get it as soon as she can grab an appointment, and one has a job that will likely allow her to be relatively high up. (None of them are direct healthcare workers! The two allowed to get it can work from home indefinitely!) I don’t begrudge them taking it if they can get it, at all, but I figured we’d all be far down on the list and am envious and fearful and mentally not sure how much longer I can take all this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have never met any group so enamored of punny acronyms as scientists who named their field campaigns. And then they would argue with me about capitalization and camel-casing things, because somehow it wasn't as funny in all caps.
The engineers at my job love an acronym, but they don't necessarily make any sense. Like, they wanted to call a maker space DENIM (I forget what it stood for, if I ever knew). I tried to put my foot down, but they wandered away from that on their own.
