This new opportunity/punishment/massive mistake project I’ve gotten dragged into at work… We’ve had a couple early planning meetings and I’m not actually *doing* anything yet – and it’s just so far removed from what my supervisor and I had talked … Continue reading →

48 hours post Pfizer shot #2

Posted on May 16, 2021 by A Dreamer

IT’S VACCINATION DAY, BITCHES!!

Posted on May 14, 2021 by A Dreamer

And I got a whopping 2 hours of sleep last night, so I’m very happy I am not trying to go back to work after my appointment. And everyone is mad at the CDC… May I gently suggest your anger … Continue reading →

Tech is weird.

Posted on May 12, 2021 by A Dreamer
