Fairfax County put up a dashboard Friday that shows roughly where you are in line. They are currently making appointments for the 40k+ people who registered on 1/18. Could take several weeks, they predict. Then it drops down to about 8k registered per day, and I registered on 1/22, so... a long way off. I think CVS in VA is supposed to start getting them soon, so I guess I can check there, too. Plus, apparently I should check in hospitals where I've been treated. It's very haphazard, but whatever.
Ordering in tonight, yay.
Ugh, JZ. Cross-posted. What a shit bag.
Holy crap, JZ, what an ass. I have no words.
OMG, JZ. What a dick. (Just starting from "insisted his in-laws call him "father," I could tell, even before knowing JUST HOW DICKISH it was going to get.)
Fuck that guy, JZ. Eventually people will see through him.

It's been a decade and a half, so I'm not holding my breath.
Generally I have massive compassion for people who come to grips with their sexuality late and make mistakes along the way, but... this guy isn't elderly. He's a little younger than Hec. He spent his twenties as a totally secular stockbroker in Manhattan before *choosing* to leave it all and go to seminary, and about the exact same time he was signing up for that my youngest brother was coming out himself. If an 18-year-old kid born and raised in the California suburbs and still totally dependent on his birth family for everything could muster up the courage to know and name himself without creating and emotionally torturing an entire family in order to do it, why couldn't a rich white single guy in NYC?
Ugh, JZ, what a pompous asshole.
I don't regret quitting smoking, but it does pinch a little to see it on the list of things that might move you up the vaccine list.
My co-morbidities (#TeamHypertension #TeamBigFatPanda) are the reason I was able to get the monoclonal antibody treatment. (Which, bee tee dubs, still no superpowers, damn it.) (Except, I guess, staying out of the hospital is kind of a superpower.)
How are you guys doing, Steph??

Honestly, it sounds like he moves from life to life as people do see through him.
Good lord, JZ. He need to meet Bertha the Cluestick immediately. What a dick.
It pushes my buttons so intensely when a member of the clergy betrays his parishioners. And his family! I mean, I know he's defrocked now, but only because he got caught sleeping around, so one would think he would still have the integrity to at least pay his children's child support. Grrr.

I'm glad you quit! I keep reminding myself you did, so I can eventually get there.
Between asthma (which in my mind doesn't count because I smoke), diabetes, and being an essential worker, I guess I could get vaccinated now? Except no one can, not even the first group -- PA's vaccine supply, at least in this part of the state, has been royally screwed. I think one of the county commissioners said recently they requested something like 20,000 and got 4,000. And this county is 85,000 people. So my parents in their late 70s haven't even been vaccinated yet -- no way I'm jumping in line. Plus, it's been a year, and I've been exposed more than once (and once while living with the infected) and I haven't gotten it, so my feeling is I probably had it at some point.
Sorry to ramble/rant. I'm thrumming with adrenaline because I just got off work for the first time in three weeks, and it took only 15 minutes to remember what a fucking bitch my boss is, and how whiny and entitled most of our customers are.
