All thoughts to you and your family.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I just had a really grim thought, so I'm going to put it in spoilers if you're not feeling it.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
One really nice thing on my recent 10 hour flight was knowing that everybody on the plane had to have passed a Covid test no more than one day before the flight.

Well, home rapid test came back positive. Getting PCR done tomorrow to verify. Feeling like ass right now. Mainly just sinus congestion and headache. Some aches and pains, but nothing out of the ordinary. Shit.

This is why I'm probably going to booster until it's declared a cold.

I've given Coconut water several chances and it just isn't my bag. Tastes like someone mentioned a pina colada in a text message a week ago.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Do you like pina coladas that got caught in the rain?

Pretty sure I just pissed hot as well. The line is faint, but definitely there. Felt a bit bad yesterday, like a cold coming on, and I must've had a fever while I was sleeping. Otherwise, I feel ok.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

Quoting myself from the Office Etiquette thread a week ago.rass wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 7:16 am This week has me spending my first significant time in-person at work since March 2020. I'll be at a (local) conference organized by my company, not in the office. Not going to lie, being just a little more than 3 weeks off of having COVID is making me a lot more comfortable with this whole thing than I otherwise would be.
I heard second or thirdhand rumblings over the weekend of coworkers testing positive by the end of last week, but this morning was the first time someone publicly announced they were sick. There was almost no masking (including the hotel staff) and no social distancing and so very many buffets. Might be a rough week.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I heard from another coworker who is positive, and the company sent out an email to everyone who attended letting them know there have been cases post-conference and asking everyone to avoid coming into the office until 5/25, along with boilerplate symptoms/testing text. Great.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
It's weird, cases are skyrocketing, and it's like nobody cares anymore. Hospitals are full again. Our mayor used to give a daily updates, which turned to weekly a couple months ago, and abruptly stopped. I know a lot of people testing positive with symptoms, but I think a lot are home testing and probably not reporting.rass wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 11:01 am I heard from another coworker who is positive, and the company sent out an email to everyone who attended letting them know there have been cases post-conference and asking everyone to avoid coming into the office until 5/25, along with boilerplate symptoms/testing text.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Right on that last point. We had 3 or 4 in our house and only I would have been counted since I was the first and went in to confirm. Only way my oldest would count is if the school's pass along data which I imagine they don't.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
At least 8 coworkers now.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Yeah.
We also just got our first COVID notification from the middle school since February. 5 students, 3 staff. And the oldest's BF at school with whom she shares a bunch of classes apparently popped over the weekend, too.
So yeah.

They have a dashboard on their site that is updated daily. Not sure what the threshold is to trigger an email but seems we crossed it.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
1st day back in the office. Tried going in yesterday, but started to have a panic attack. My train of thought was why am I going into an area with no one taking precautions and possibly putting them at risk, but have seen my family a total of 20 minutes in 8 days. I know more than enough people that are okay with that situation, but I am not one of them.
Good news is that I am feeling 100% better than a week ago. The meds I am on cause a horrible taste in my mouth that I can't shake. I can deal with that over any other symptoms.

There's a Chief Master Sergeant posting on her Instagram stories, in uniform, her 'fight' against mandatory vaccinations.

I won’t be leaving for a couple of months. Need sort out visa, place to live, moving dogs and family.
Didn’t really need this, but what are you gonna do?

Ok, so two other friends and two other family members all tested positive just today. None of us have been around each other. That’s more positives in my immediate circle than ever before in this thing.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
So Thursday and Friday were pretty shitty. Fever Fatigue and some Drainage. Not sure why I capitalized. Started feeling decent Saturday and fine Sunday/Monday other than some leftover fatigue, but nothing an early night or two couldn't help. Back in the office but staying in my hole and wearing a mask rest of week if around other people.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Well I still had sniffles and a cough so I decided to be safe rather than sorry and went to nurse station. Still positive and if I weren’t having symptoms I would have been fine to stay but with symptoms I was sent home for rest of week. Fun!
