Unfortunately the whole massive pain and suffering that usually goes along with retrieving them kind of outweighs that.

LeeMajors posted:Our (and every other EMS agency) is being hammered because working conditions have been trash for two years, EMT and medic programs are folding everywhere, and administrators are out of answers for how to make the job more attractive to younger people. There's a 20 year medic on my city's service that basically says the same thing every opportunity he gets. Every article that gets posted by an industry page or mag gets a comment about how there isn't a shortage but poo poo pay for the work. Spent some time talking to him when we were both working at the same station and the conclusion seems to be getting the old hats out of leadership and the "younger" generation who actually gets the problem in their place. I saw this at my FD with an old chief who is now a town commissioner constantly talking with how back in his day people would come down and work for free and that $10/hr for FTE should be enough. Just a sheer level of cluelessness.

LeeMajors posted:I still don’t understand what religious objection could be made here but then again the invocation of ‘my beliefs’ never requires any documentation. One of the many shitheads who send their emails to me instead of their similar email address accidentally forwarded her exemption request to me. Her exemption was based on being "created in God's perfect image and as such does not believe in modifying that image or design, and anything that changes functionality is against God's plan." Her email contains in her signature a photo of her. She's wearing glasses.

I remember firing up Doom and Wolfenstein on my family's 286, then upgrading to a top of the line 386 and feeling like I could play absolutely anything. X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, Wing Commander, Rogue Squadron, Quake. AIM and being able to chat with friends without being overheard. There weren't "influencers" and if you wanted to send an email you drat well better know the case... Goddamn I miss the early days of the internet sometimes.

The switch from "experts are experts for a reason" to "everyone has an opinion that is valid" feels like it can be rooted in social media, and they're the granddaddy of them all.

My wife worked with an asymptomatic positive person last week and she's the only person out of the other three in the ambulance she was on that hasn't gotten it. She's also the only boosted one. Boosters work y'all. My 2yo daughter had a close contact in her daycare Friday and they just down for this week. She's now stuffy with a light fever. She'll be tested Thursday. Her class has also had a number of kids with plain old colds so I'm really, really hoping that's it.

The Glumslinger posted:The cold vs allergies vs low symptom covid game is pretty annoying Yeah, this isn't our first rodeo, but with all the close contacts in short order it's making the anxiety through the roof. I know the vast majority of people who get it have no long term issues but we've made it this far, I'd like to be able to say we protected her all the way through. They need to hurry up on that under-5 vaccine 😕

Blowjob Overtime posted:I just had to give to half-hour presentations on the production floor, which means basically yelling with a mask. Started to cough about 20 minutes into each of them, and I've never been so tempted to say "no, no, don't worry, I've had four straight nights with my wife at work, it's a weed cough" at my place of work. COVID times are weird. I did an outdoor pub-ed for a preschool over the summer where we put on our turnout gear and went on air so they could hear how we sounded and not be scared. On one of the rotations I managed to get a gnat into my face piece and inhaled. The pressure off the air tank slammed that fucker down my throat and I spent the next 10 minutes hacking my lungs out trying to explain to everyone in the next group that no I'm not sick, I inhaled a bug. Good times.

I completely forgot about the Jetfighter series. Especially Jetfighter II where you got to bomb buildings into flat planes on the ground. Played the poo poo out of that. For excellent music, Terminal Velocity and the Descent series are near the top of my list.

LeeMajors posted:There was a fun helicopter sim too but I can’t remember the name of it. Had Apaches and Comanches and Cobras and it struck a good sim/entertainment balance. Got a lot of mileage out of that one. It might’ve been a Janes but I can’t remember right off. Maybe Apache Longbow, are you? E: or Gunship! ? I definitely remember the game you're describing, but hell if I can think of the name.

Still waiting on my daughter's test tomorrow, but her fever broke this morning and she's feeling like a million bucks. I'm guessing she got a regular old cold at a lovely time. If not and it was the rona, couldn't have asked for a better result. Looking forward to that test tomorrow! Kalli posted:#BoycottMcDonalds is trending I'm conflicted.

LeeMajors posted:I think the booster plays a big part. Everyone I know who is boosted had relatively mild symptoms. My work partner though was full vax but no boost but also in her late 20s and very healthy and she’s sick as poo poo. Dizzy, super weak, severe myalgia, bad sinus symptoms. My wife also runs part time on my EMS service. She ran with a crew of four two weeks back and one of them tested positive the following day and was asymptomatic. The other two folks on the rig got really sick as well in the following days. She's the only one who didn't catch it and is the only one with her booster. poo poo works, apparently.

harperdc posted:As soon as I'm eligible I'll go get boosted, once she's post-delivery and okay we'll see how she can get it as well. we've also heard from doctors here we might want to get boosters for MMR shots as well to deal with the newborn? Not sure what that's about yet but we'll have to look into it as well. My wife had to get a titer for Hep-B for clinicals and found she was basically not at all immune. She had the full series and all but apparently they're finding immunity waning over time. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if titers or boosters for the previous "permanent" vaccines became a thing.

Leperflesh posted:As a former saxophone player (in elementary/high school) I can assure you that it is not easy to get such excellent tone from a baritone sax when you are a small person. That's impressive all on its own. I played sax from 4th grade up through about 5 years ago (and then a few times a year for alumni bands and stuff) and yeah... It's drat impressive. Especially so since I had the, uh, fun?, of playing the lead alto part for Tank! in one of my jazz bands 😐 Kalli posted:In other news, I guess they just ran out of suntan lotion a third of the way through?

General Dog posted:Do employee self evaluations typically mean anything? I rated myself 3/5 overall At my company if you give yourself anything more than a 3/5 they'll come back and say "Really? Like, really?" and make you "reevaluate". Managers also get to do a score and if they go above 3/5 upper management just comes down and says "Yeah, nah - make them a 3." gently caress corporations.
