Story that keeps on giving.

 

I’m a state employee. We just got an email that all state employees will become eligible March 22. Except me because I live in the city and they won’t be expanding eligibility.

Fantastic.

 

You'll be eligible on the 29th, right?

 

I’m real familiar with Loretto, management there is mega-sleazy and also treats their employees like dogshit.

 

the guidance I’ve read says it doesn’t apply to remote workers and I’ve been remote for over a year.

 

The Chicago.gov site doesn't say anything about being remote, it just identifies certain people as essential employees . . .

Your ethics may vary, but I'm certainly going to try even though I've been remote for over a year and my current position is fully-remote permanently.

I play in Pelafina and Jeff Schaller and the Long Way Home. I also play in Mark Rose's live band.

 

Yep! I play drums in Ultimately Fruitless. Questions & Impulses, by Ultimately Fruitless

 

Got my first dose of Pfizer today at the UC. Very easy and smooth process, now having a Hazy Hero and some tavern-style pizza.

 

Scheduled my first appointment at Walgreens for Tuesday. Hoping I won’t get boned for scheduling before I’m eligible (I will be by Tuesday)

 

Same, my statewide cohort got moved up to Monday so I made an appt for tomorrow. It sounds like Walgreens isn’t really caring, someone I know got first doses up in Kenosha. They said they were from Illinois and they still didn’t care.

How they haven't fired these clowns at Loretto is beyond me.

 

Moderna #1 down the hatch

 

So Loretto was tip of the iceberg apparently.

 

Could I reasonably use my expired suburban ID to get a shot once it opens up to all adults?

 

So they moved the date for regular folks to get it in Chicago from mid April to June (at the earliest) because of not enough supply. What the fuck?

 

Chicago never endorsed the move to mid April that the state is doing in the first place. City officials have been saying all along they’re not getting enough vaccine supply. I imagine they probably have to do it my May 1 though to align with the federal goal.

 

I will say that I did not have to show my ID at the United Center when I went for my vaccine, and neither did my wife, so do with that information what you will . . .

 

Going to be maintaining 6am grocery store trips for a while

 

I've been to Maple and Ash twice for special occasions. I once saw Larry David there. I can't imagine being a regular there lol.

Just criminal opulence.
