For your second shot, right meara?

When my sister took my dad to the VA for his, her plan was to just stick her arm out every now and then and hope somebody stuck a needle in it. Didn't work.

brenda, my vaccine twin, how did you feel after your shot? I was unnaturally tired Thursday afternoon, and my arm was sore. It was a bit sorer today, and my upper left lat hurt too, but I'm used to being sore in one spot or another, and otherwise feel fine. I'm hoping my side-effects are as light as DH's after his shot.

Cindy, your news makes me very happy. (ETA brenda, yay!) My goddaughter received her first shot yesterday; she's a middle-school teacher whose school went back to hybrid in-person classes on the 8th, and I admit I cried a little when she showed me her card.

amyparker, I get it. I was a little overwhelmed when my younger son even got his appointment. I know there are no easy solutions, but I hate to see teachers go back without the vaccine. I'm glad your niece got hers.

(At least I ended the day working on a fun project and chatting with an engineer who's super-fun to talk to. And if I take his suggestion that turning my slightly under-done brownies into a brownie sundae might be good, well, there's nobody here to judge but my cat).

He's an engineer, Epic. I think he understands basic design principles.

Same. I barely felt the shot itself. My upper arm, below where the injection was, was really sore and stiff but that’s wearing off now. I was pretty wiped on Thursday evening but I also haven’t been getting enough sleep this week so it’s hard to say if it’s really related.

Smooth sailing basically so I hope that continues.

I got my shot yesterday around noon and my arm's been sore since last night. It wasn't bad enough to keep me from sleeping, though.

Yay shots! I am so excited for mine.

I know I always share my petty annoyances, but, still sharing, and still my petty annoyance. So, at my Uni we have a graded system for staff where you can be a Secretary III or IV, and then and Administrative Assistant, and then and Administractor I-IV. I am out of it now. We have a Secretary III who says she not allowed to attend meetings to take miniutes, because she is not an Administrative Assistant. I am so confused because I took minutes all the time when I was a Secretary III. We have no union. They are not official minutes for an official meeting or board meeting, just writing down what we decide in the meeting to share with everyone so we know what our action items are. This seems so weird!

Timelies all!

Yay shots!

That seems very weird!

I spent time this morning with a friend, and wow, it had been a while! It was too hard all winter, I guess.

That seems like a specific boss thing, not a categorical thing. Possible that's the issue?

What does everyone think of this house?

Of course it's the worst time to prep for moving, as I'm staring down the barrel of 6 weeks of deadline crunch work for a big program rollout. But it's also the first home in a year that's come up for sale and sparked an "I'd like to live there!" reaction in the last year.

That's nice, Matt. Is that giant closet a repurposed bedroom?
