Checking In - 28 Jan 2025

I just self-tested again, and I still seem to be avoiding/delaying my second COVID-19 infection. So that's good news.

I'm scheduled to be laid off because end-of-contract on March 14th. This will have been a personal best at 15 months' steady work. That should improve the odds of being (re)hired somewhat.

The science-fiction club Zoom meeting last night fizzled due to various issues, so we're going to try again in two weeks.

I'm up to working on four map projects with the Tranquility Press fanfic collective.

More later.

So glad you continue well.

I'm grateful for the good luck coinciding with my attempts at caution and vigilance.

Still masking here although we are a minority. I still see Covid-19 outbreaks regularly but if nothing else, I am absolutely enjoying not having those nasty colds I used to get. It seems the ones that should be staying at home or at least wearing a masks, aren't and inconveniencing the rest of us. I've thought at times about writing on my mask "I hate being sick more than I hate wearing this mask" ;)

I'm watching with horror the anti-vaccine movement in Alberta. As someone who has done some genealogy it is very sad to see young children years ago dying of preventable diseases with a vaccine.

As far as SciFi goes, apart from reading the occasional SF book as you can see I'm not very active in Fandom. I still dreadfully miss Ad Astra which I suspect Covid-19 destroyed.

I do hope you are able to find work in these chaotic times.

Yay for successfully avoiding COVID a bit longer. May the trend continue.
