I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor about a measles booster. I know I had all the vaccinations that were required when I was a kid, but I'm seeing some recommendations for adults who work on college campuses to get boosters, since campus are filled with tons of people who frequently travel all over the world, so pretty much anything that's spreading anywhere can eventually end up here.

I get the feeling RFKJ would be pretty free with the Ear Morphine under the right circumstances but you probably can't count it

If I’m paying a gazillion bucks for eggs, I should at least get Ear Morphine, dang it.

Free Ear Morphine with every two dozen eggs

Morphine not to be used for any off label purposes, only ears

You can do whatever you want with the eggs

Yessssssss

So, I used to trot off with a little actual basket to get eggs from my neighbor. I put a dime in the refrigerator. I was actually a very happy child trotting off on all these Richard Scarry errands. They had a number of other farm animals.

That's delightful, Sophia! For a while I was getting my eggs from a chicken farm (ranch? CSA that was organized around raising chickens). I was actually in it for the whole fresh organic chicken (they took the heads off but left the feet on) but the eggs were a bigger part of her demand - she had a little stand next to the road (there was a long driveway to get up to her house to pick up the chicken) where you could collect your eggs and leave your money and it always sold out pretty fast. She closed down when feed got too expensive and she couldn't keep her margins up, way before bird flu was a large issue, I think she sublets to a lavender farm now

My boss and grand boss are on a zoom call and I can hear my grandboss's end of the conversation and it sounds like my job is changing again. Not dramatically and not by title or who I report to, but in what our little shrunken department will be doing. Which is probably inevitable but I was already in a department that was quietly squeezed out of existence and I will be bummed if it happens again.

ETA the funny and frustrating/irritating part of that being how much of what I used to do as a core part of my now defunct job I am doing again because it turns out it needs to be done despite the company deciding that role was not needed

Marketing, btw, has shown up and they brought us all continental breakfast. Pizza with the new CEO in a couple of hours. Carbing it up today

Sophia, she sounds like a wonderful woman and I love reading your stories.

Ear morphine should really be a thing. I can deal with a lot but ear pain is so awful.
