Covid-19 update
Aug. 11th, 2021 08:00 pmWell, I was officially under a quarantine order for about... oh, 90 minutes? this afternoon, but obviously that did not last long.
Basically I got preventatively quarantined on account of having had contact with Ms. Random Numbers, but was very shortly thereafter exempted because the state verified that I am vaccinated. The one potential issue is that while the state has lifted my quarantine order, I am unsure if the county has followed the state's lead. I am operating on the principle that state trumps county, which is why I returned to work after a long lunch, but who even knows at this point.
Also, our temp may still be stuck under quarantine because she got her vaccination through the VA and New York and the VA hospital system are apparently not communicating well on the topic of vaccines, so the state was unable to verify her vaccination status. *headdesk*
...
This has been a very long pandemic, okay.
...
Anyway, I intend to go to work tomorrow as scheduled, and if I get a checkup call from the county, I will present my argument about state rules trumping county rules. Also I will hopefully have my test result back by tomorrow morning. I was half an hour late to work this morning because of that test -- the earliest slot I could grab was for 15 minutes after my shift started, gnrgh.
If I get a positive test result, obviously I will stay home and quarantine, and the great used car quest will have to be postponed, but hopefully things will work out.
...
In unrelated news, I got my hiring email from Not the IRS this afternoon, which is nice.
I also bought two paint-by-numbers kits from Michaels this evening, partly with the goal of creating more wall art for staging apartments, but also because I feel a need to do something artsy-craftsy with my hands since my brain is not really cooperating with the whole writing thing these past couple months. *sigh*
Oh, and my bathroom sink drain is completely clogged and one of the lights in my living room is burned out, so I need to text Landlord Dude and get him to come make some repairs. Ugh.
And it was like 92 degrees and humid as a goddamn sauna yesterday and today, and it looks like tomorrow and Friday will be equally miserable on the weather front.
And I got stuck in a freight elevator for like twenty minutes before I could figure out what minor persnickety issue was keeping it inert. That was oodles of fun, though I did triumph in the end. (Unprintable grates and their unprintable tendency to rise one centimeter off the floor when you're not paying attention, and consequently trigger failsafe stops. *shakes fist at inanimate objects*)
And the passenger elevator in the same building has a sensor issue that makes the door fail to close half the time, which won't get repaired until tomorrow at the earliest and I had to go post a sign about the ridiculous workaround I came up with and Maintenance Lady tested.
And and and and and.
So yeah, that's been my day.
