Ooooooh! excited.

I am thinking I might plan my spring garden. Which the fact that I can think about what to do while off work means I am doing much better!

@devrex

I do not like est, most type of rp for that reason!

Smallest, most beautiful, brightest blue eyes one ever seen, biggest, hottest, strongest., kindest, smartest, etc

Because while it might be a fantasy to be most of something - it of infringes on others who are like hey my character is pretty hot too!

I don't want to spam the other boards, talking about pandemic issues all the time, so I made a new thread! I realize I spam the ooc boards a bit and apreciate all who read. Oddly at times MSB can be like a safe space to express some feelings. Sometimes it is a bit like like journeling where others can read. I think the mushing community is often very suportive abou real life issues. Sometimes even mushers who dont get along over games are supportive when it comes to real life troubles, which is great.

Anyways so I made a board for us to talk specifically about our pandemic issues, be it having covid, family with covid, job situations in the pandemic and etc.

But I also though by seperating if anyone is sick of hearing about it or burnt out on pandemic talk, they are can just not read the thread.

@derp

That is a good way to view it. I have wondered while being on a wod game how to respond to over the top appearance stats/attraction related merits. Maybe to look at as they are gorgeous to most of the world, but pcs still have some agency in how they respond, is a good way to think.

I bought halloween costumes even though I will probably be working and things will probably not be in a good enough place for parties then and even if they are, I probably won't be in the headspace to go anyways or really wanting to go to possibly spreading events.

But I still go costumes! Because at least I can pretend that things that might be okay in October, maybe or I can wear them just because even if not doing anything!

@kk

An one reason I don't like the appearance stat on wod is that I don't like appearance to be ranked, especially with some world of darkness characters having the ability to increase their appearance over 5 and go I am the most hot, you have to respond!

I prefer a beauty is in the eye of the beholder type of rp. I mostly like wod, but that element is like, I don't love ranking appearance levels.

@kk

I got halloween themed surgical masks too, cause Amazon has everything and well...Halloween mask will make another covid halloween better? Or something...

@faraday

I agree with you both on this. Pcs are the special, the characters and we should be assuming there are plenty of average npcs around.

That being said it still can be sort of suck when onels character was not allowed to be special/beautiful etc when most other characters are and the average normal expected thing for a pc seems to be to have this special.

Its been maked into sauces. This a batch from tomatoes picked a few weeks earler. Did tomato soup too, but didn't take a picture of it. I might turn into a tomato though........

@faraday

I agree with you a lot. I have found when people try to limit the special, they generally do mean they want to limit it for others not themselves or their buddies

The only way to limit special non-toxically is to have the same rules for everyone, like maybe one special alt per player or something. .

Off work tomorrow!

So I am celebrating by watching utube vidoes of people's seed hauls!

Like ooooo look at the seeds I got 2022.

That is kind of silly, but shockingly fun! Seeds!

@mietze
I have a hard time paying attention to tv shows. I daydream or start to do other things. Sometimes I want to know about a story, but I don't have the attention span to watch a show and will watch utube reviews in place of watching the actual show!

I also can pay attention to utube short utube videos about 15 mins and under, way more than I can a tv show and I can pay attention to how to videos (for me its mostly on gardening) much better than I can to a fiction storyline.

I want to like Wheel of Time, but it is hard for me to keep focused on, so I watch it, trail off, miss half the stuff and then watch utube. I even got some understanding from reading MSB about it!

I watched the start of the first episode of witch about 10 times and still cannot tell you how it starts.

Working an ourbreak. It is intense, mostly because of short staffing, we actually have less staff than last year. Lots of health care workers burnt out and many nurses have gone agency and are moving to whatever state puts in the highest bid.

Starting to get energy again though. I get energized from crisis. So peeps are wired that way.

There is alot more I can say, but there is still so much we don't know about Omicron that I a bit not sure about it saying it.

But I will say this..

Omicron seems more mild - but there are still some serious cases. People can get it who are vaxxed and had covid before which is not me trying cast doubt on vaccines, it is very likely the vaccines are keeping many cases mild. But I do think it is a reason to still mask up and be careful.

I am quaranting when not at work as a precaution since I am around so much of it. So far tested negative and feel good though. I am vaxxed and had covid last year.

I had the same reaction as @GreenFlashlight and didn't say anything about it before, cause I already said something about that in the past ont his forum.

I am fully vaccinated before you all go rawr anti vaxxer.

These posts read like wishing death on people and it is imo messed up.

I know more people than I can count who got all three vaccines and got covid, a few got really sick. This doesn't mean that I am against vaccines. I think the vaccines likely made the cases milder than they would have been.

But....there are some of us still dealing with covid, with friends, family, co-workers, patients who have covid.

And I for one don't want to hear even on MSB people wishing covid death on other people.

I have seen too much death from covid and it not a fate I wish on anyone.

I am sure this post will piss some people off, but at this point, I don't even care.

Also I am super greatful to all the Door Dash, Delivery, Grocery store workers who worked through the pandemic.

Door Dash saved my ass on some of those crazy long shifts and I super appreciate that there were people willing to do such work.

I think they are pandemic heros.

@ganymede

I still work shifts as long as 17 hours in full PPE without breaks
and yup covid+ people have worked. Which I don't agree with for many reasons, including infection control, but also nurses positive with covid deserve time to heal too. Pandemic is still happening. Nurses are not being treated great. Like they cancelled our hazard pay, work us under staffed, cancel breaks and do mandatory overtime which can be /a lot/ of mandatory overtime. and now some think nurses should work when sick with covid and go without sleep when sick. Nurses who took time off with omicron had to fight for sick pay

@kk

Some manager who worked from home entire pandemic and still works from home told us floor nurses hazard pay is cancelled because omicron is just a cold. Rage... I wanted to tell you them why have you never come here then?

Got covid again. Am significantly sick, but not hospital level sick so far this time. There was drama at work over it when they wanted to work me sick. I was covid unit anyway. It's a crazy story I am almost to burnt to talk about. I just couldn't keep going exhaustion was to much. At home. I feel anxious. Let people down. But just can't . I need to rest.

@kk

I feel fallen in battle. I am staying home until I feel better and am not catchy. But it was hard decision. I have covid brain fog and headaches, don't want to risk errors too.
