Sunday, just past noon, and the region will be flirting with snow all week. Current forecast is against ice, but I'm wondering if I should try to get some chains as I don't think they allow us to use studded tires anymore in this state... not that that would help, as I can't run chains on the freeway and I need the freeway to get to work. (Which will be starting two hours early all week, because we're running an eight hour shift instead of a five hour shift, because HR considers it preferable to overwork an already-overworked skeleton crew than actually hire new bodies... of which we got three, which still makes us two or three short of a full shift. And I'm not holding my breath on all three lasting.)
Fighting Sisyphus. May finally have an opening scene that's working after a week of attacking it. Not feeling very confident about this one, TBH, but nothing else is coming to me and I have to get something going. I'd hoped to have a rough draft by the end of the month, but with overtime and everything I'm not holding my breath on that.
Otherwise, not much. Dad had a probable UTI, but he's doing better on antibiotics. Mom still can't get a vaccine appointment for anything; supply is beyond anemic and clinics are swamped, and the "walk ins" expect senior citizens to stand in line for hours to maybe (not at all guaranteed) get a shot, which is unsafe and impractical (and downright impossible for Dad, who is essentially incontinent at this point and can't stand that long at all anymore.) And now there's talk about opening it up to everyone, when many people on the current tier can't even get shots as it is...
How are you, Mr. Misfit?
