Shot acquired! Very smooth process. Actually hurt less than the flu shot for the injection itself (like "Oh, that's it?). It was Pfizer. I wandered around the store for 15 minutes--managed to resist the temptation of the muffin case (butter rum muffin!). Current symptoms are just a sore arm (trying to move it around a bunch, as I've heard that helps).

I haven't been able to make an appointment but it says my confirmation serves as an express something or another. I did read up on the paperwork. I just have to get my birth certificate from my Dad. It's like geez, do you want my blood type and first born nephew too?

Yeah LT! Glad it went smoothly and that so far just a sore arm! Good to hear!

Thanks, Kit!

And for the Real ID, I had to order a new copy of my birth certificate from the state, as they needed one with a seal or something like that. It was really annoying. And I'm sure would be much more complicated for someone not born in the US.

I don't mind what people cook or eat at work - faculty have offices but the students walk around with wafting food all the time and there are tables all around the faculty offices for them to eat at. For me, nothing is worse than microwave popcorn and people do that all the time. I have no idea why people even eat that chemical laden travesty. I love popcorn but not the kind in microwave bags.
So far the curry and the mexican beans have both turned out really well in the little machine

I'm hoping that getting it at a pharmacy will help for me, in the sense that they know what they're doing (as they administer flu shots), but I think this pharmacy only recently started carrying it, so who knows? They may not have the process down yet.

I doubt it will be. They are letting the nursing school handle it and they have thus far proven to be idiots.

My arm hurt after the first one but that is all. Other than my arm, I had no reactions

For real id - we could use a passport for most of it. They did not need my birth certificate specifically

I just got a call from the physical therapy place, they were able to schedule me for 8am this Friday. I'm glad.

Great news!

So I have, on multiple occasions, heated up fish at work. According to the internet, I’m going to hell for this. I never noticed a strong odor but I also don’t have the best sense of smell.

ArtieTheSequal · Mar 30, 2021 at 03:54 PM

The thing I remember smelling most often when I worked in the office still was when somebody made microwave popcorn. It smelled sooooooooo good!! Except if they burned it. Then it was baaaad.

Yes, you are.

We had a guy heat up fish one day and the whole building could smell it. People weren't happy with him and they teased him about it for weeks. He didn't handle it well and got defensive.

atisketatasket · Mar 30, 2021 at 03:56 PM

I would bet none of you has heated up Spartan black broth at work.

Still, didn't smell too bad, just kind of bloody and meaty.

PS The cats would not get out of the kitchen last time I made it. (I make it to show students, not for me to eat.)

SlumberKitty · Mar 30, 2021 at 04:06 PM

I looked up that Spartan black broth @@ and it looks so gross!

LostOnTheTrail · Mar 30, 2021 at 04:10 PM

I just made the same mistake.🤢

Exactly! I would be up and out of my seat screaming, "Turn it off! Get it out!"

And yet i considered myself the perfect employee.

Appetizing.
