Covid-19

Read this comment today and laughed until I thought about it and realized it may actually be true:
"Fact: If the CDC came out tomorrow and said COVID-19 could be stopped by wearing a ball gag and shoving a stick up your ass, liberal sheep would rush to comply."
 
COVID remains a, um, emotionally charged topic. I had posted about it on another forum, and this was a PM I got:

Oh shut the **** up. Why don’t you tell everybody how you’re going to take the country back you ****ing moron.You seem like you’re whiny cunt too. Let me guess you’re in the medical profession as well.

I had put up something really outrageous and controversial (not) about mRNA vs DNA vaccines :rolleyes:
 
Doc, we have been having that conversation on my local board. Lots of older guys there who are worried about pre-existing conditions and how this will fit in with the different vaccines. Way out of my league but the local doc is calming them down.

I swear I can hear that PM like Billy Butcher from The Boys is reading it out loud in my head.

I have no idea. All I know is that the Chinese used the Cover of Darkness, err Cover of COVID to imprison millions of Uyghurs and completely disassemble the one country two-systems [of government] of Hong Kong and the Mainland.

They also completely failed to contain this thing. I know we're giving COVID a November birthdate, but given how dense their cities are and how unkempt their markets are. I suspect this thing was raging last summer. Although they lied a shit ton about SARS-COV-1, they contained it at the speed of WARP-5 compared to SARS-COV-2.

The Uigher issue was going to happen covid or not. It's not something that could just be put in place in a matter of months. It was already happening before that.

Still saying we need to take off all safety labels for a year and let the problem sort itself out.
 
And here we have the Governor's daughter getting mighty pissy with all of Nevada. Just wow.
I guess she killed her Instagram account after this went viral in the state.

Carley Sisolak who is the Director of Marketing & Community Relations for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, whose job will not be affected by the shutdowns, seems to be getting some inside information from her Dad. Only, she may be in some hot water for letting the cat out of the bag because her account is now marked private after the public caught wind of the Instagram post! Update: The Governor’s daughter has now completely deleted her Instagram account. I guess she didn’t want people seeing her do everything that she is demanding us serfs not to do – like eating out and going to places she says are NOT crucial!

I was mocking the irrational fear of fellow employees (yes, I know, I'm going to hell) on our network and their claims of “PTSD” that someone (note: someone...hypothetical straw man) would get from from being in an ICU on a ventilator by offering to have to have a therapy session to chat about trauma from war and COVID. I wrote, in part, “There I was deep in the sniffles, temp 101, and on my last Kleenex...”.

I was accused by another employee of making inappropriate jokes about rape, sexual assault, and child abuse so Karen called the manager and I got in trouble. Oh, by the way, I didn’t leave anything out. That is EXACTLY what happened.

I noted that I never wrote anything about rape, sexual assault, or abuse of any kind. Well, they’re upset cuz I personally attacked a fellow employee. I asked for the name of the employee who had COVID, was in ICU on a ventilator, and met with me for the hypothetical therapy session. Uh...So I pressed “Really, why are we talking about this?”

“There were complaints.”

”That I‘m an asshole?”

”Yeah, kind of.”

”I think you’ve misunderstood them: they’re not complaining, they’re stating facts. Are we done?”

”Sign this.”

Years ago, probably 15, I was forced to share an office for a short time with a bunch of social workers. I had a calendar, a Glock calendar part of some gun swag I got, and one of the social workers complained that I was promoting gun violence.

I had a similar conversation with human resources.

They wouldn't tell me who the complainant was, but I figured it out after a short period, and I was able to make her life so hard, which they were unable to trace back to me, they ended up leaving the department for a different job. Don't. Fuck. With. Me.

I seriously got in trouble for another one on the same topic: widespread irrational fear that unmasked employees may spread COVID to other employees, who may take it home and spread to their kids.My point was that it was not our organization’s responsibility to protect employees from death, either chronic American lifestyle choices or viral infections. Why do we not screen for cancer, heart disease, etc? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS????

Apparently the last part was over the top because it was perceived as aggressive and mocking valid concerns of employees.

”So I‘m getting a negative counseling statement because I’m effective at accurately conveying and defending my position in writing?”

”Sign here.”

Shit.

I have a feeling @lindy's experiences will be mine once I leave the desert for corporate America.

"And anyone who believes xxxxxxx can go eat a dick."
"What did you just say?"
"I said I'm going to HR. Just...email them the paperwork."

I started a virtual riot last month by writing “I do not support anti-racism.” Colleagues thought they found a self-proclaimed white supremacist in their midst and they lost their collective shit. SysAdmins had to call a “ceasefire” because Karen overloaded the systems with complaints.

Diversity reps: “Hey, we need to talk. What‘s your office?”

”I’m in the field.”

”Where?”

”Columbus.”

(keyboard sounds...clickity click) “Yeah, well...Look, you need to be truthful here. I’m not seeing you assigned anywhere on Wright-Patterson AFB.”

“Columbus, JOHR-juh. I‘m on Ft Benning.”

”WHO is your supervisor?”

”Mr X. He’s in Florida.”

”WHO DO YOU REPORT TO EACH DAY?”

”Nobody. I’m the only XXXXXX employee within 250 miles.”

”Uh, we’ll get back to you.”

”Oh, I’m very confident of that.”
