If I wasn't vaccinated I'd be in harm's way quite a bit. Masks are optional whether vaxxed or not, and nobody is wearing one here in the office.

Update: here in Ontario 50% of adults are doubly vaccinated.
You don’t do vaccinations in dubly, you know

Did your work require you all to show proof of vaccination to go mask-less? I guess I understand the reasoning but I'm not a huge a fan of that.
It’s for everyone else’s sake, not yours. People do have the right to risk letting themselves get sick, but they shouldn’t be allowed to get others others around them sick.

Starting about a week before our trip when one of our Alexa's started playing it unsolicited, we have heard Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" an unprecedented number of times on various satellite radio channels, FM and iPhone shuffle playlists.




Now we notice every time we hear it.

This f@#$ing song....

Back when it came out, I thought it was fine. One of their three "eh it's ok" top 10s from 1981's Escape. Then for 25 years I'd hear it once in a while, and not mind it, just like many other top 10s from the 80s. If I heard it three times in the same year, it was a surprise. I could list 100 other top 10s from the 80s I heard more than this one.

Then Glee took it into the top 5 in 2009, those bastards. For the last 10+ years and going, I can't get away from that goddamn song and now I can't effin' stand hearing it!

That's because you never watched The Sopranos. If you did, you'd forget about fuckin' Glee.

Never watched Glee either. But yeah I haven't seen most TV shows. What shocks people most is I've never seen one second of The Office. People keep suggesting I watch it. But the last show that was strongly recommended to me did nuttin' for me.... Big Bang. More like Big Yawn. So I rarely bother with any shows no matter how much people insist I'll like it.

I just splurged and bought the whole 12 season DVD set of the Big Bang Theory when I was in Columbus. I find it hilarious. First 4 or 5 seasons pretty much all episodes. After that some episodes but not all in a given season.

I also have never really watched the Office more than an occasional episode which was on in the background somewhere.

I can't handle 10 seconds of Big Bang. But The Office is one of the best shows around.

There's not one bit of similarity between the two of them. So liking/disliking one means nothing for the other.

I love The Office. But like with a lot of shows, you almost need to suspend belief that people would behave the way they sometimes do.
That's the same for most shows. If they are funny, usually somebody is not behaving normally or well.

I think the only shows of this millennium I've seen all episodes of are IT Crowd and Kominsky Method. Most shows I see 10 minutes of lose me quick.
I have yet to see the IT crowd but have heard good things about it and probably would like it considering the line of work I’m in.

I like both shows.
Big Bang was one I could watch an episode once, and if it came on again I didn't need to see it again.
I've run across some old reruns of the Office lately, and had to keep watching them.
