Anyone else get the Covid Vaccine?

You must be out of it, because your booster was Moderna, not J&J

Glad to hear your side effects were relatively mild... Curious whether you had a more severe response to the first shot (compared to the second) or if you have reason to believe you were infected with Cov2 at some point? Anecdotal evidence would suggest one of those two scenarios may lessen the side effect of the booster shot.

Oops, yeah I forgot about that! Same kind of dissociative feeling as the first shot but it's lasted longer this time. I'm not concerned. It's not causing any cognitive problems other than being a bit out of it. Overall the feeling is going away slowly.

Yeah I'm so psuedobaked I forgot I started with Pfizer not J&J. I think that's enough typing for me today.

Just got my first shot of Pfizer yesterday. I have been in and out of it, slight nausea, and light fatigue... so far

[thesmokingman]

got first dose of Moderna today ... not much to it, not even a sore arm

Buddy I work with got his 2nd shot Friday. Got sick Sunday. Made it to work Monday but camped out in his hotel room. Fever, losing fluids through both ends. Not pretty. Was better Tuesday. Fully recovered Wednesday.

Boy it seems reactions are certainly all over the place. I'm feeling 100% now. Wife had her 2nd shot the same day and feels like crap. In any case, I'm just so grateful to have the vaccine. We've been super careful for the last year because we both have health concerns that are disagreeable with COVID. We've been very fortunate.

As a complete tangent, wife's company is putting most staff on permanent work from home since they all did such a kickass job over the last year. So, both of us will be home based from now on. Does anyone want to adopt me?

(I keed, I keed. I love my wife. It's a good thing for her.)

My job is looking to be the same outcome, almost. I'll still likely end up going in one or two days a week, but it's going to be very flexible.

It's taken me most of the year to figure out how to work from home. I had about a 3-4 hour commute everyday and didn't miss it at all but just couldn't get my bearings. Now that I'm dialed in it looks like I'll go back in before fall.

I got into a short but fun spell of day drinking and built a TON of pedals. Was a pretty happy camper to get that second shot though.

I've been furloughed for a whole year now but I'll be handing in my resignation when they call me back

[thesmokingman]

mine's done nothing but pressure me the whole time to return to the office against medical advice ... I have a second interview elsewhere in the morning.

Shit, man. That sucks. But good on you for looking elsewhere. Best of luck to you!

Yesterday, I visited my office for the first time in over a year (I had to pick a few personal belongings).  The building was completely deserted, but things were still where I left them like the place was abandoned suddenly in the wake of a catastrophic disaster (because it was).  It was creepy, like walking into a movie about the apocalypse.  The only thing spoiling the scene was the fact that all the lights were still working.

Got my first Pfizer shot a week ago. I had a sore arm that night but it was fine by the next day. Kind of dreading the second one but really thankful to even have the opportunity and glad to do my part. My wife works in a school library so she's been vaccinated for a while. Everyone in my household is at least partially vaccinated at this time which feels really good.

I got my second Pfizer this week.  Had some chills overnight and a bit of blah feeling the next day.  Tylenol helped keep it at bay and eating a bit more would have helped.  By the day after, I was fine.

We're only allowed to go into the office with permission and we need a damn good reason to do so, but the lights are all on (they're motion sensed), the vending machines are stocked, etc. It really is kind of creepy.

I believe I'll no longer have an office when we open back up. I can do everything I currently do from home, but unfortunately might get stuck with some project work that uhhh requires my physical presence in a specific location, which is really irritating if I'm being honest.
