Hahaha, yeah no, Misfits Market you need to get your act together, I’m not getting any diarrhea salad today.
I gardened in the morning in Wellesley and then decided this afternoon was the best time to repot the jade plant. This was a good idea, it was root bound. 😬
We had a Division staff meeting today and our clinical nurse leader brought all these flowers. She then explained that these flowers represent the babies in the state who are alive because of the perinatal Hepatitis B prevention program instead of dying from HepB infection. Images are powerful.
Drafting up the outline of my slides for the Division meeting this week. Can you tell that I am a millennial manager?
Almost halfway through the CDC site visit and a friend dropped off a coffee with this lovely note.
If you need me, I’m inaccessible for a week, recharging in a happy place.
I also watched the last five minutes of this game, cackling. Hubs: I think this says more about Curaçao than Germany Me: But the GOAL DIFFERENTIAL! Das ist gut.
Sometimes you get a giggle when you are reading the Boston Globe online at 11pm
Also, this should exempt me from all the pretend phishing emails for at least 6 months. I GOT A REAL ONE.
It’s great to have a newly renovated office space with no functional HVAC system 😅 🫠
Bunny butt Friday, which I shared to the chat in a work meeting today because it’s been a week
Made it back to Boston and this city flips me a massive middle finger, breaking the luggage carousel.
At a conference and it is a little funny how I’m here testing out some new labels. Everyone here is super chill and also does not care lol.
This comment is gone now but gave me a nice laugh this morning. Then a local Jan 6er told me that he couldn’t believe a libtard like me would be against a regulation and then threw in some cheap shots about drag queens and COVID-19 vaccines. It’s so wonderful to know I’m doing things right.
The greatest political debate (IMO) occurred in 1998 during the GOP Primary for US Senate in Vermont. Businessman Jack McMullen was up against dairy farmer Fred Tuttle. Fred had been featured in a satirical film in ‘96, whose premise was “small farmer elected to Congress”.
Hey BlueSky: chill. Public health experts, like public health guy, recognize the importance of informed discussion in medical care. Also, “just do it” is not an effective way to change behavior. There are a lot of parents with questions about vaccines and they should be addressed with compassion.
I legit lol’ed at the Quad God one. I have no idea if this type of messaging works for lay folk but I enjoyed these thoroughly.
12:20am snow shot - not much yet. Let’s see, if it’s going to be as bad as they say…then I should have at least 8” at 8am.
