Lol. My vaccination is going to be sorta meaningless now (still going through with it) because a so many people aren't getting vaccinated, many by choice, and the Olympic games couldn't be cancelled because we need it as a symbol of international cooperation I guess.

This workplace is really unsafe. Reasons include:

-Untethered gas canisters
-The pumps that we use have unshielded and exposed wires that have to be placed on the floor with the rest of the pump.
-Mold
-Hot water source for cleaning the smaller tanks is basically just an open pot and when and if pressure goes back up the hose it blast hot water, or hot water and caustic up through the top.

When I first got here and said that we should get a face shield for handling the very strong caustic and asked that we use the boss literally laughed at me. We got one anyways.

He asked me for advice and ignored a lot of it. He's already cheaping out on equipment. They're still going to be still using the two head bottler that's not automated at all.

Imagine bottling 2000 liters worth of beer on that thing.

I'm also sure that it's going to be super unsafe in there.

Fear of "side effects" mostly from my experience and what I've heard from people. I'm not going to pretend to understand all of it, but apparently it kind of stems from a lot of people not being fully warned about the very severe side effects of the HPV vaccine a few years ago, but also possibly others. There's probably a little more to it. I mean, I know a few people who said they weren't going to get any vaccinations when they came out, and this was at the very beginning of the outbreak. There are some conspiracy theories, but the most widespread reason seems to just be a fear of side effects at some point.

It also seems to run the gamut so far as age is concerned. I have a friend who blames young people, but I've met a lot of older people who are aren't doing it either. Who knows? They'll probably point to the vaccine resistant mutations and say that they were better off not getting vaccinated since the newer varient is resistant, not understanding that they're partially responsible. It's frustrating.

What the hell kind of HPV vaccine are they using over there? I had Gardasil 9 and it was nbd; my sister got Cervarix and it was also nbd. Most people I know have had it and the worst side effects were localized swelling and low grade fever.

I don't know. Side effects were like comas/paralysis or something? I don't really know the whole story.

It may have been misinformation. I really don't know. I just know that it's at least part of the reason for such widespread vaccine hesitancy here.

Sometimes I hate the internet because I contrast this period of time with the late 80s/early 90s MMR push and, well, I don't know anyone my age who hasn't had it plus boosters.

And then I look at now and all those people I grew up with who refuse to vaccinate.

Anyway I'm very depressed about this because it's directly related to my job, because apparently most of the other building tenants are not vaccinated. So I'm coming to terms with having to quit.

Yeah. It's not great. I grew up in southern Missouri near Springfield, sorta. My dad's going to the Chicagoland area for my grandmother's memorial. He's driving, because he's my dad and he'll have fun camping along the way and poo poo. He was thinking about dropping by the Ozarks to see old friends but he's going to just skip it because that area is just getting slammed with cases. I can't say I'm in any way surprised that it's happening.

I was offered an incredible gig doing property management for a bunch of really high end mansion type vacation rentals (office only, commanding a fleet of maint, hk and reservations/service workers) at LotO but I refused on the grounds that I would not be safe, and my workers definitely wouldn't.

And then the guy who offered it to me laughed at me and called me a sheep.

And then his 20something kid died horribly of COVID.

And then the last time I talked to him he still didn't believe COVID is real and he thinks his kid was killed off by "some experimental weapon."

Anyway no thanks.

In October 2019, Alabama had the 7th highest rate of vaccination in the US for measles. They're now at the lowest vaccination rate for COVID.

Funny how things can change so drastically in such a short time period.

I guess if they're calling in an abatement team, they'd be fools not to get rid of all the poo poo they already knew they had, that was preventing them working on, like, plumbing. So, yeah, I reckon this could take a while. Especially here in the Land of Maņana.

I've actually taken mass transit from the Sunport to the town that you've surely figured out I live in by now. It involved taking a bus to 2nd street downtown, getting on the train, getting off at the NM599 station (where the bypass road meets the interstate), getting on another bus to $TOWN, then getting on one more bus to get home.

It was still more pleasant that driving, though. I hate driving.

But it made it pretty obvious why people don't think mass transit is a viable option unless absolutely no other option exists.

I'm not familiar with the type of thing I'm seeing.
Man, decision paralysis is always annoying, but I wish my brain would just let me decide what to go get for lunch. I'm so hungry, but I can't commit to getting up from my desk because everything sounds good but nothing sounds worth the drive.
This is not necessarily a work problem, more a brain problem, but my brain does not like being at work.
I hope everyone has or had a delicious and convenient lunch hour today.

Someone fainted at a funeral so a firetruck and ambulance came out, so we drove over to check it out and on the way over we passed one of the equipment operators who's waiting for the funeral to end, and he's dancing to "Strokin" by Clarence Carter in the street while he waits next to his backhoe. It was awesome.

That's why commuter rail should run all day, even if it has to be at a reduced schedule. The idea that everyone only travels into a city in the morning and out in the evening is laughably outdated.
