I had side effects from the Pfizer vaccine, too. About 48 hours of being exhausted and achey and shivers after both doses. It also affected my cycle. (Still very happy and grateful for being able to have the vaccine, of course).
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Timelies all!
Quiet on the board today...

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I'm waiting for someone to pick up Jim's old desk. Wound up cleaning and reorganizing a file box trying to find the assembly instructions - didn't find them, but there's a big stack of old paper waiting to be shredded.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hugs to everyone who needs them.
I got called for jury duty 6 times when I was pregnant with or breastfeeding Alexandra, so I got excused every time (once was for the week she was due, and I was tempted to send a picture of my gigantic belly). Naturally, I haven't been called since.

Also, last week was Peanut's first week back of in-person schooling, so she naturally came down with a head cold. Sigh. I had really enjoyed the Year of No Colds. So it was a weekend of mainlining The Muppet Show and PBS Kids programming, and she's home with me today. I'll see if I can get any work done.

Ugh, I have to start working in the office 3 days a week next week. I was hired in August, so I've never had to commute.

Sorry, Dana. Hope it's not too much hassle.

I hope your commute isn't too onerous, Dana.
We're looking at going nearly fully face to face in fall semester. We have a number of non-US students who might run into difficulties getting back here, so we're keeping plans for hybrid and whatnot available. And apparently a handful of instructors had a good experience and are like, "But what if . . . we didn't?" That was kind of unexpected. Still no word on when my team's expected back or how often. I'm hoping we'll move from a 4-days in the office, 1-day work from home week to more of a 2/3 split. It would help me keep my workout routine going, as well as saving on gas.
