I'm at... 4 times, all of the 'oh I'm just sick for a few days' variety, but loving still.

Got it twice within 3 months over this past winter. After a booster.

Good luck, life's too short to deal with bullshit at work. I just had an interview for a job I really want and have a decent chance of getting can't let me get my hopes up because if I don't get it, I'll be stuck at my company full of bullshit.

There are two apples on the table - that means the donuts have friends and friends go to parties together. Seems healthy, imho.

I've caught it once, at some point during either 20hrs of flights+layovers from Pittsburgh to Isle of Man or watching the TT the next day. Still wish I wouldn't have unmasked on the plane to eat, but hopefully that'll be the only time I catch it because I still cough stuff up almost every morning over a year later. :smith:

My work puts out muffins, grabbed one a few weeks back when I was last in the office, then halfway through I noticed it was labeled as being 650 calories.

It wasn't bad, just not 650 calories good.

Nerds don't like to hear that the last two GoT books were bad or that Wise Mans Fear was absolutely terrible; they've become invested. Same thing with Star Wars after the first two movies where good, then 12 bad movies in a row.

Here's hoping Scott Lynch can at least get out a good book for.

Good to know—I stopped after the third book when the show was beginning to decline. Figured I’d eventually finish it but then the show sucked out all desire. And now I don’t feel bad about not finishing at all!

There are good pieces of books 4 and 5, if you liked the earlier stuff it's just...they aren't really put together correctly (partially since they were supposed to be one book, partially because Martin lost his fastball I'm guessing). And Dany's storyline is mainly super boring and stupid in 5 until something happens, then goes right back to being miserable to read.

I'll read 6 if it ever comes out just because I'll read anything, but I'm not expecting much even if it does happen.

No Covid for me, at least as far as I'm aware. I've gotten sick a few times where I swear I had it, but multiple tests have all been negative.

When I caught it the first time, I had basically no regular cold symptoms, I just ached for like 4 days straight. It was like all my thoracic nerves were firing at the same time.

unfortunately it's pretty likely I caught it again at Evo last weekend in Vegas :smith:

I got it for the first time in January. I was achy and sick for a couple days and then lost smell and taste for a week. The brain fog was real and I def feel there are moments of haze that I didn't have before that continue to today.

I got it for the first time earlier in the month.

Just a fever and a headache. Lungs / breathing stayed normal and don't appear impacted at all.

First time was all fevers and aches and flu symptoms and fatigue that lasted about 10 days.

Second time was a headache and some brain fog and I just played diablo for 4 days and felt well enough to work out after 5 days.

I dont think the vaccines are keeping up with the mutations to make much difference at this point. Just gonna keep as healthy as I can and isolate if I pop a test.

I either had the OG strain in Dec of 2019 before anyone knew what it was after a work christmas party brought people in from around the world and everyone was deathly sick for 6 weeks after - or have never had it. I'm 0-5 on tests.

I got vaccinated as soon as it was possible for people our age to lie on the CVS intake form to be accepted, and have gotten boosters every 6 months since then and have been out in bars/restaurants/events/movies/etc regularly since then, so I'm apparently also indestructible. :toot:

The one time I definitely had it (Tested positive and everything) was about a year ago and it hosed me up for a week. I probably had it a year before around Thanksgiving 2021, but there weren't home tests around and trying to go to testing sites was insane, but I had all the symptoms on the mild side for a few days, with the linger effects in my chest for a while. There's also a decent change I had it very late 2019, before anyone knew what it was, which might have been some random bad cold bug but in retrospect everyone where I worked at the time was a bit curious.

EDIT:

Yeah, that's exact what happened to me. Everyone at work got badly sick the week before Christmas 2019, including some people who'd just come back from out of the country. At the time, nobody really thought much of it beyond one person getting everyone else sick at work, as happens in close confines, but a few months later when poo poo hit the fan, we looked back on it differently.
