Wow, brenda, I am even more happy for you knowing that little bit of background!
So, my phone shut down sometime in the night and won't turn on and I presume it's that my one and only charging cable went bad but the reason I am telling you this is so you can understand how very silly I am for carrying around my phone and the cable all day long just in case it will suddenly decide to start working again. I did figure out how to set an alarm on my Kindle for tomorrow morning, though, so that's something.
My ears! My ears! How they burn.
I am occasionally (ok, rarely) here. But I finally have a manageable work schedule so I am hoping to stop by more often, or at least in more places than Movies. In any case, timelies everyone!
Yes, Dani is new e/em/eir pronouns.
Thank you for answering this question for me! I just proofed something for em and had to go back to my Christmas card to make sure I hadn't been missing this for years or something. (Which, let's face it, is very possible.) Most of our communication is by phone so it hasn't come up I guess? This is one of the downsides to not being on FB I suppose.
Former poster or poster in other threads Megan Walker also went to college with you all then, I think.
I can't believe I did not know this. I mean, I can, but I'm still surprised. I had no clue. Now I want to get out my yearbook. (D and I were in the same freshman dorm. D & S met at a party in my first place in NY and then that is how I met msbelle's brother, and, eventually, msbelle. She's the one that told me about TT I think. And then we went to the very first NY f2f together so we could have each other's backs in case one of you all was an axe murderer.)
Wait I know where megan walker went to college, I thought. Jen did you go there too? Maybe I’m remembering wrong.
You are not remembering wrong.
Megan I don't think I went to a NY F2F with you. I went to Fiona's apartment for a Buffy watch, but that was before you were on the board wasn't it?

Yes, that is what I meant. I was there, goddammit. Martha might have been with us too? I was on the board, but I only lurked on TT until it was time to leave and then I think I made one post just because. By that time, many NYistas were hanging out regularly.
Congrats, brenda! That's awesome.
msbelle, I'm so sorry. Terrible.
My small-world one is smonster being on a college team with my cousin, but I think that's all I've got.
Also, congrats to Brenda on the job news as well as everyone who is getting vaccinated or making appointments! I can't wait to get mine but I'm also not looking forward to the nightmare that making an appointment seems to be.
I'm pretty much waiting for Kaiser to tell me when I can get vaccinated and assuming that will be a long wait. Maybe they will surprise me!

I'm Kaiser too, but I haven't figured out how they are going to work it (most of their messages seem to be about not having supply) and thought maybe I should also proactively try elsewhere once 1C slots open up. I also have the separate issue of the Math Greek not being an official resident so I'm not sure we can even get him one here or whether he has to go back to L.A. for it or what.
Brenda, even more congrats hearing about the process!! Obnoxious that the useless mediocrity got to have the job for a few years first doing nothing, though. Also, ahhhh, Pat Riarch--now that you say that I recall, but hadn't thought about them in years!
Welcome back Megan walker! And no, for some reason I did not remember that about JenP! But now I know!
I'm vaguely annoyed, the clinic that I volunteered at to get my Dose 1 shut down, and is relocating to the football stadium (it was at a local college). They emailed everyone and said "if you got Dose 1 here, you can come back on March 17th, and fill out this form, and we'll give you an appointment, you have to come that day and by appointment and we can't promise any specific time, just tell us if you want afternoon or evening or morning. And if you can't come that day, you'll have to find it elsewhere". Except everywhere else is pretty firm that you have to be in the approved groups (I'm not) and some don't even have "second dose" as an option, because they assume you'd only be doing that if you also did first dose there. UGH. Hoping they don't send a terrible timeslot? Also annoyed because I had hoped to do it on a Thursday maybe, and take Friday off in case of side effects.
