[59%] Whups, burned through another one

[flexagon]

On Monday my new director, the one I liked and who I moved to because I could actually talk to him, announced he's leaving Zillian. Sigh... big mood there? Yes, big mood, but also I don't think my heart rate even spiked when he told me. We can just throw another one onto the pile of burned-out directors. Another big reorg will be coming and I won't be a decision-maker in how it goes, I see that, so there's no real point stressing. He lifted me out of my old position in which I was miserable, so he still did me a solid favor before dropping me back into the swirl. (And on a personal note, I'm glad this news held off until after the weekend of the 23rd when I had important kisses to think about.)

On Tuesday I got my 2nd Moderna shot, and was flat on the couch for most of the day Wednesday and then ~100% again today. It feels pretty unbelievably good. Yes, I have to let it all mRNAte for a while longer -- and yes, that is my favorite pun of the whole pandemic -- but the procedural parts are all done and I felt some immune system things happening.

Nothing else is allowed to happen this week. That's quite enough.

I got a chuckle out of your "mRNAte" pun. I get Moderna#2 on Saturday. Maybe we can meet up for tea or park acro in a couple weeks.

Oh!! So you'll be fully baked on the 22nd! I'm already planning a small jam (outdoors, Somerville, fully vaxxed trusted people only) for the 23rd, and I thought of you and looked you up on FB but thought you wouldn't be done. Since I was wrong, you're hereby invited.

And we should do tea or cider sometime just to otherwise catch up.

Have you considered that maybe the problem is...your employer? /s

I mean, lots of caveats for tech companies being terrible as a category, pandemic burnout, etc.

[flexagon]

Obviously not. Everyone KNOWS that Zillian is the best place to work of all time. /s

Less sarcastically, I quite expect to see a huge wave of retirements, job changes, divorces, house moves etc this summer as everything -- frickin' everything -- comes unstuck at once...
