but also if you're trying to go between non-hubs the "main" flight might not have to be that long to have the time spent pile up

i managed to use the pandemic as leverage to secure permanent WFH but my company is going full "open biden" next week and reading the schedule of events is making me feel ill there's a whole week of events planned around "meeting in crowded rooms and sharing a meal". who planned this, covid?

Stringent posted:where the hell are you flying from? required negative covid test the calendar day before flying, but because my flight is at midnight + 5 minutes means I have to test at 5:30pm and hang out at the airport forever my connection from LAX is overnight so another 11 hour layover there as well I’d book another flight but there are literally only 3 to choose from each month  flying from HK

Cloks posted:who planned this, covid? my exact thoughts when we had an exec meet-and-greet with people coming in from other offices. we worked effectively across several locations pre-covid and now we're hauling variants in like some sort of dare because one of the execs got lonely not having people to look at from their non-open-office edit: not that this has to do with the recent dropping of policies nationally, this was a capricious change a while ago Agile Vector fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Apr 11, 2022 |

i keep wanting to call out publicly that the rto initiative is stupid and the hr rules deliberately made to be as complicated but i know its pointless, there is no changing stupid c level policy unless there are massive resignations

this is very much one of those where i am happy i don't have a real say, because my life has improved a lot being back at the office, but i can't very easily motivate the morality of it.

still feel like poo poo, Saturday was the worst day of sickness, and it seems to be getting better, but i still feel pretty awful. at least i only have two meetings today, one of which is Very Important (it isn't) and mandatory (it is), the other is one i'm leading and will probably reschedule to later this week because i can't talk much louder than a whisper sucks butt tho and i'd rather stay in bed

also walking around LAX it’s no loving wonder covid has killed a million Americans lol theoretically masks are required at the airport it’s a real shock to go from a place with 100% mask compliance to whatever the gently caress is going on here

i'm honestly worried about visiting the US this summer. legit doing the mental calculus about which is going to be a bigger threat to me and my family, covid or some crazy rear end redneck raging at us for wearing masks. then also with my wife and kids being japanese, all the anti-asian poo poo that's being pushed right now, it's incredibly worrisome from here. hopefully it isn't actually that bad on the ground, but we're definitely going to be ready to bail at a moment's notice.

i did my first non-gym errand without a mask the other day, laundry mainly because all my cloth masks were in the laundry, the laundromat had a paper mask i could use so i did i don't really think i'll ever not wear a mask in the winter months moving forward, but will keep em on regardless of how attitudes change in my neighborhood going to the gym is rough in this sense (no mask can last on a sweaty face through a workout) but it's the only thing that keeps me sane

Share Bear posted:- a fatal disease just curious but is there a general consensus on what rates of mortality are required for something to be considered fatal or to put it another way, how low does the mortality rate need to be before someone here would consider it “safe enough” to stop caring about the risk of getting covid? notwithstanding those who are more vulnerable than others
