In the US they make a bit of a fuss of tracking this and they record it on your official injection card. I just got jab number Five 17 minutes ago. So far it’s been… Pfizer Pfizer Moderna Moderna Moderna Bivalent …for this Griffon. Hey, me too! I got a walk-in around noon, here. I had to cancel my original appointment and wait out the last three weeks while COVID-19 ravaged the rest of our household. I've gone P, P, M, M, P. I've changed it up, largely hoping to reduce side effects that come from my immune system repeatedly seeing the same 'carrier' mixture. We'll see, I'm already feeling unnaturally sleepy... Good luck!!! -t 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 So my FLGS is going to run a "Day of Gaming for Charity" (Extra Life benefits St Luke's Hospital over in Boise, ID) on the 5th of November. I kinda wish they would have announced this earlier or I'd be all in with the day. Since it's less then 2 weeks notice, no chance of me getting the day off for it. While they have events planned already, I may see if they'll allow me to run an adventure I wanted to run last time we had Charity night at the FLGS. Since there really isn't a regular 5e game (there is a anime/pvp 5e game (sometimes I wonder if they know what rpgs actually entail....)), I'll do it in the middle of the day & the adventure is semi-light hearted with the heroes being assault by demon possessed sheep!!! 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I conked out, or at least **tried to, after getting jabbed. I cannot be sure if it was the shot or if I was rather sleep-deprived. **My phone kept blowing up. Robo-calls and unsolicited texts. One of the silliest was this text: “…Get your COVID-19 Omicron booster and your flu shot today. Call your doctor, pharmacist, or [_____________] County Public Health at ###-###-6299 to make an appointment…” Not even half an hour after I got the jab! And then! ten minutes after the text above I got a robo-call from the same county health agency and mr-robot-voice read exactly the same words to me. What. The. Frack. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgetman! Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I probably have the vaccination info in my online profile, I just have to log on and check. It's just such a bother to do it on the tablet. Robo calls... That's only the callcenter scams and the like here. You see, here the caller has to pay the connection fee... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the timing with your shot was just coincidental; I also received the text and call within a few minutes of each other yesterday. I didn't get a shot of any type, though. I think they just scheduled all the communication to happen at a certain time yesterday. At least I HOPE it was them and not Skynet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 An email chain I have been involved in this week came to a thrilling conclusion this morning:Customer (the site owner): I'm having this problem, and I've done X to troubleshoot it. We've already replaced the part twice, so it must be something else. Me: Have you tried Y? Customer (a little while later): It did not seem to be Y. Me: Try Z, and let me know the results. Customer (a little while later): Here are the results of Z. Me: Hmm. Those results lead me to believe the part has been damaged. Make sure that you're not doing blah blah blah to it. Customer (emails distributor to order another one and copies me on it): Hey, I need to order yet another of these parts from you. This is the second new one that has failed. Distributor: Um, you did not buy any of this part from us. When we were troubleshooting X, your manager found some used ones you had that he was going to try first. 🤦🏾♂️ 3 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I am so ready to broccoli slap someone this morning. Distributor calls me up yesterday asking for help with a site that has not done any updates since it was installed, well over 15 years ago. Site is still on dial up for remote access and credit card clearing, which we stopped providing active support for in 2012, and as of our last modem dying in 2020, any sort of remote support for. Site is also hours away from the distributor, so it's like $500 just to get a tech on site. So I tell the distributor that because we have no remote access to the site, the site owner is going to have to be our eyes and ears, follow our instructions, and provide accurate feedback if we are going to be able to help him without sending someone to site. Send him a bunch of troubleshooting reference documents that ask a bunch of simple things like "Are codes working" and "Are Credit Cards working?" and "what happens when you do X?" Also asked for specific pictures of the inside of one piece of equipment, and provided step by step instructions AND a tutorial video of one particular troubleshooting task. Just got back the first reply from the site owner. - Pictures he sent are of the wrong piece of equipment. - he didn't answer any of the questions posed by the troubleshooting reference, he just said "It's the automatic teller that's not working, the self serve bays are fine." 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the unseen R2s do all the real piloting. I was going to say the same thing. The droid brains doing the actual flying are extremely in-tune with the way people behave. They are reading the cues the “pilots” are giving by pulling various switches and levers which are then interpreted into actual spaceship commands. Now. Different topic and why I am posting. Some people just do not get technology. Was helping a coworker in another state. We share our computer screen via Skype. If you “share desktop” with me, I get to see everything. Including your Outlook reminders that you haven’t cleared. All 496 of them. That many just sitting there, easily disposed by hitting “dismiss all” would drive me to drink. Which I may do anyway. But much later tonight. I have a bottle of gin that finished steeping last night and I desire to try it. Had lots of peppercorns and herbals per the recipe. Have to do it after dinner and after the invitation only car viewing. Get to go see the new Lotus Emira at the dealership tonight. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
