Diets, Decaf & Other Dubious Deeds

Well the one fella tested positive Sat for COVID. He's planning to go straight to the CEO when he gets back. He's mad that he got it. I don't blame him. One of our supervisors sent a message from our boss. I guess they had leftover vaccine left and they're offering it to food service. As many as possible. I just can't do it until I talk to my dr and can see for myself that people are getting sick from it.
 

Covid is making it's way through our dept. Just had another one go down with it. I think I'm gonna go ahead and go in early and get the vaccine. They will make us sit for a bit before they let us go to make sure we don't have a bad reaction. I'm scared to death at this point.
 
everything went ok with my vaccine today. i go back jan 11 of 2021 for my 2nd round. i was supposed to cook christmas day but they need a lead for that day so i'm doing that now. the hospital is giving us another bonus check. a couple months ago or so they gave us $1200. this one will be $500 plus we will be getting stimulus checks soon for $600. i'm gonna keep hold of that money for my new glasses.
 

these numbers are from monday...
The total for the county is now 3,749, with 1,494 cases that are actively being monitored by the Health Department. The total number of recoveries is now at 2,208. The Health Department also reported one additional death Monday, bringing the total number to 47. There have been 9,872 negative tests countywide.

i hate to see what the next 2 holidays bring. i'm sure that after christmas things are gonna get really bad. what ticks me off is that our facility isn't helping the situation any. we had a lady yesterday at work that was ill and wanted to go home and they told her they were too short handed to let her leave. i asked her "what if you have covid?" she gave me that dismissive hand wave and said i don't got no damned covid and i ain't goin to the nurse or to get no test. and i ain't takin no shot. you would think a hospital would be a safe haven but it's not. they are just as guilty for contributing to this crisis. i think there should be a place to anonymously report this crap so something can be done about it without having to lose my job. i'm so angry that there isn't more protection for us to do so.

that's why it's scary as hell going to work every day and not knowing if it's your turn to get the crap and die. it takes a helluva lot of courage to walk in there every day and do your job without freaking the hell out. the cbd oil was a purchase that was well worth the expense.

i'm out. happy hump day.

Gimme the name of the hospital and an address to send it to, I'll write a freakin letter!
 
No Murr if it's gonna get done it has to be done by us. I want to see what's going to happen when the one cook gets back. He said he was going straight to the CEOs office when he returns. I wonder if he'll end up losing his job. He got really hateful with one of the people who had covid and came to work for a week before they finally called in. I was mad too but professionally it was out of line.

What I don't understand is the fact that infection control knows about it and they're the ones who are supposed to help keep us safe and they've done nothing or said nothing to these people. Those people put everyone in the hospital at risk by spreading it. I don't know how they can come to work and not feel bad when they see us knowing that they may be responsible for one of dying because of their carelessness.
 
I’m A Health Care Worker Getting The Vaccine. Even I Wonder Who Deserves It Most. | HuffPost

For me this is double fold. On the one hand healthcare workers need this vaccine in order to stay alive and continue to care for people. At the same time it's hard knowing that people who need it and want it are out there unprotected & dying. I'm angry at all the folks who are careless and do what they want despite the dangers. I hope nothing happens to those folks to cause them an emergency because when the time comes there may not be any help for them.
 
*kicks back with some dinner* Glad that's over with. I hope everyone had a great day. Hopefully soon we'll be looking at the virus in the rear view mirror. Till then hang in there. Keep doing whatcha gotta do to get by. I will pray for all of us. We currently have 4 units of COVID patients. This is starting to become more and more tedious and stressful. I keep wishing people would stay home and follow the rules so we can be done with this BS. I hope people will take the chance with the vaccine rather than risk their lives.

We hardly fed anyone any holiday dinners today. We used to feed a crap ton before COVID. We have over 4,000 in our county that have tested positive. I don't have my usual numbers because no one is around to update.
 
Good morning. It's going to be a busy weekend at work despite the patient count being low. We have a lazy lead on our weekend which makes more work for me. Our patient count was only 98 yesterday. Maybe I'll luck out and it will be less this weekend. LOL!

It's 21 degrees this morning. Arthritis is acting up and I'm just tired. I think I'm gonna rest this weekend so I'll see you all Monday. Have a good one.
 
Got the day off so I plan to relax. Having some tea while I decide what to do for breakfast. Plan to play video games today. I got some I haven't even played yet.

Arthritis pain is bugging me today. I know we have snow in the forecast for before dawn Tues. morning and some during the day. Amounts aren't much. Just enough to make me hurt and make the roads slick. So much fun...not.
 
OMG the last 3 battles I've been in on Splatoon 2 today I've won! Woooooooooo! I also managed to splat 3 people today for the first time ever! I frickin love this game!
