Jabbed
I received my 1st COVID Vaccine last night and I have a couple observations:
Arm feels a -little- sore, but it’s still a buttload less inconvenient than a ventilator (or being dead).
Sign up for the online portal and complete as much of the paperwork as you can. I did the vaccine-specific health & wellness form ahead of time, so my check-in took about a minute. Also: print a copy of your appointment confirmation!
Total time at the pharmacy was <30 minutes. I spent more time waiting for the lady in front of me to get her paperwork in order than I did in observation.
They did not need my insurance card because I’m already a customer, but you should bring yours. It’s a record-keeping thing, not a billing thing.
These people are working long hours and have to offer care to anyone who requests it. Be nice.
Worth it!
Now, on the other hand there’s Pepe le Pew.
I’m stunned how many people are ride-or-die for a cartoon skunk. I wonder how many of these achievers were rending garments and gnashing teeth for Dr. Seuss?
How do I make it stop? It’s silly and it’s cluttering my feed with whining about people who own a thing deciding the thing isn’t fashionable anymore. The Professional Complainers either don’t understand what ‘Cancel Culture’ is or they’re stretching the term so far beyond its working definition it has been rendered as meaningless as ‘Socialism’ or Gavin Newsom’s political aspirations.
Yes, I think ‘WAP’ is in poor taste. Yes, I think people let their kids grow up too fast.
It is okay for Warner Bros. to put le Pew on the bench
It’s more akin to my decision to refrain from wearing vintage ‘Big Johnson’ t-shirts into the office than it is to a “Fahrenheit 451” book burning.
How much time and energy has been wasted by this non-issue? For all the idiotic posts and memes about le Pew and Seuss how many nurses, doctors, firefighters, and schoolteachers went unacknowledged?
Instead of sniveling about other people’s property and how they make use of it (or don’t) why not sign up for the COVID vaccine? Or write someone a nice note! Or practice opening doors with your elbows. Good Lord, even sitting at the edge of your bed staring at the wall would be a better use of time.
The more I separate from Social Media the more I’m convinced it will starve itself via Brain Drain.
We’re on a countdown to Facebook becoming a colony of obese, wailing divorcees in urine-stained housecoats berating the neighborhood cats from the confines of their duct tape-patched recliners.
I should really get to work. Big show coming up, but here’s something to brighten your day and restore a little faith in your fellow man: Dauphin, Pennsylvania is Awesome
