They remodeled our office and placed us 6 computer janitors in a space that used to have about 25 project managers, walled us off with just a kind of service counter window for people to talk to us, then our boss had signs printed that say, as professionally as possible, "Did you call in a ticket? If not, gently caress off. Did we TELL you to come to us? No? Then gently caress off."

low key sex master posted:Has anyone experienced double dip side effects? I got my second dose last Wednesday, Thursday was a nightmare but I've felt tip top since then. But today I've felt like I've had a low grade fever, a sore throat and my body feels fatigued. I thought it was allergies but a pill didn't seem to help me LOL, I got my second Moderna at 10:30 AM Wednesday. I spent today achey and tired, and just a few minutes ago started feeling warm. Turns out NOW I have a 100F/38C fever.

Around 11 PM, my fever was at around 101 F. Took some Aleve PM and went to bed. I have some vague impressions and recollections of thrashing around drenched in sweat. Slept in until 9:3o - That might have been the Aleve PM's doing. Temperature is back to normal now, and I feel about 75% human which is within the normal range for me.

I took an entire week off for my second shot. ... Ok I already had scheduled the week off anyway because I needed some time off and the shot timing was a coincidence, but still.

Most of my team for work is pretty much vaxxed, with one person who just got her first shot. I hopped onto a meeting and she was in the middle of talking about how she and her family wasn't planning on getting shots but they were at her grandmother's funeral on Saturday and found out she kicked because of covid and found shots on the way home. Then she was talking about how hard she got hit by the side effects Sunday and Monday " but I still had errands to run and people to visit" and I was glad I was muted because JESUS. She's already had covid in March and got wrecked, and she's a low key chud with a hyper chud husband... I'm so glad that my two weeks after the 2nd poo poo is next Wednesday and no one comes in on the Mondays and Fridays I have to be in the office...

One dude I know has continued on with his life as normal and somehow got through multiple family members and friends getting and co-workers and acquaintances getting covid without getting infected. He just... Mr. Magoos his way around viral plumes or something. I'm starting to think he might be too stupid to actually be infected. The virus just can't recognize him as a suitable breeding ground.

Lifting restrictions is either a good idea or a very bad one, but gently caress it, I'll be on the side of "This is good, but lol if you think I'll take my mask off around randos hacking and wheezing and sneezing and mining for nose gold just yet." Depending on the how the good numbers and bad numbers trend, I'll reevaluate my position next month. Actually, I won't because that's when my office is supposed to start letting more plague rats, I mean valued colleagues into the office.

Unlucky7 posted:So I just got my second jab, but I lost my bandage after taking off my shirt to check if the injection area was red or swelling. I am not bleeding or anything (It was about a half hour after I got the shot), and this is dumb, but I want to make sure I didn't screw myself and now I got Turbo COVID or something. I'm sorry to inform you, but since you took the band aid off so soon, all the vax vapors have leaked out of your arm.

wilderthanmild posted:I know a few people who haven't gotten the vaccine who are definitely not anti-vaxxers who are just lazy fools who complain about making appointments or driving downtown just to get a shot and make it sound like they'll get around to it. And yes, those people who it just goes "to the top of the pile" for are among people I'm talking about here. You make it really easy for people, like to the point that they can integrate it into a thing they are already doing on a whim and you'd definitely claw out a few more percentage points. Getting groceries and you see a no appointment, no cost vaccination site while you've been dragging your feet, hell you might get it then. Get offered by your work to get a shot on a day they have people coming to come do it, sure why not. Walgreens at least has been emphasizing that the shots are free in commercials.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Meanwhile, in professional sports (one of the last places where everyone is still being regularly tested) Is there a lower bound or threshold viral load for these tests? I remember from the polio vaccine docu I watched, the mentioned ba component of herd immunity being that vaccinated individuals might get the virus, and although their immune system fights it off fine because if the vaccine, they still she's a miniscule amount of virus that unvaccinated people get, and are able to fight off. I have no idea if that was just an outdated model (it was discussed along with the dude who was working on a live virus polio vaxx, so it might be), but if that's still the case with the Covid vaccines, is it possible some of these breakthrough cases are just everything actually working fine?

My sister and brother-in-law are planning to come down for a visit in a few weeks for the first time since Christmas 2019. They're vaxed and as anti-social as I am, I'm "fully vaccinated" on Wednesday. They might want to visit my vaxed mom or my vaxed grandma. Or they might want to make a masked trip to the international grocery store we have. Or they might just want to sit around while we share memes and watch Air Disasters before my brother-in-law takes my dog for a long walk. Should be a good time.

freebooter posted:As unpleasant as it is to have it intrude on your home life, the key is to download Teams to a phone app (or log in on the phone browser) so you can respond to messages and appear active even when you're on the couch. The trick I found was to keep myself set to Appear Away even while in the office. The downsides to this plan are that it requires laying the groundwork before the pandemic, and having a boss who is not a micromanager and who freely admits to playing videogames while on meeting calls.

poverty goat posted:My weird side effect is I've been cured of my seasonal allergies. It's really weird, because I've had annoying seasonal allergies all year round, indoor and outdoor, every other year of my life. The spring allergies had even started to spin up when I got my shots in April but I've since stopped taking any meds and I just wake up in the morning every morning able to breathe easily through my nose. Which suggests that I'm not reacting to dog hair anymore either, come to think of it. My brother-in-law's allergies disappeared for a day or two after his second shot, but I haven't really noticed any change in mine

My office re-opens Monday. They just sent out the "If you're vaccinated, you don't haaaaaaave to wear a mask - but we're on the HoNoR sYsTeM for enforcing it. *wink wink*" email. We have to spend next week walking throughout the building helping people plug their computers into docking stations and otherwise getting into close contact with them. Can't wait for 40 hours of explaining "Yes, I'm vaccinated. Yes, I KNOW I don't have to wear a mask. No, I DON'T know if you're vaccinated or what the gently caress is up with that cough of yours. No, I can't fix your desk, that's Facilities, not IT."

MarcusSA posted:Tbh there isn’t much else they can do. They can’t require you to disclose your vaccination status. So then it's either universal masking or, hear me out hear, not reopening, or restricting it to specific teams. Instead they're brining in carnival bullshit and saying it's voluntary but encouraged to come in. ( not us though. It's mandatory) The entire company has been 97% remote since last March and we've outperformed whatever BS financial metrics are hip with do-nothing executives.

I had to go in May last year because the retainer on on my bottom teeth broke so had to do three visits over a few months - one to attempt a repair, one to remove it and take an impression, and one to fit a new removeable aligner. After that I figured gently caress it, no sense being scared of a dentist and hygienist who are wearing N95s and face shields and only letting one patient out of the exam rooms at a time.

This just reminded me. Our office is going back to mandatory masks away from your desk ( previously it was "No masks for vaccinated an liars" and there's still a max of maybe 100 people a day in a building outfitted for 1200). My chud co-worker started whining about having to mask up again, in the middle of the discussion declared "You can't be afraid to live your life!" I yelled at him until he walked off pouting. I'm PRETTY sure he went to complain to our boss who wasn't around or even HR, but gently caress it. Would berate again. On that note, vandalism, go lick some loving toilet seats and doorknobs if you love the plague so much you kitchen-sponge-for-a-brain booger blaster.
