falcon_horusGot my booster shot today. I was #TeamPfizer but after today that's no longer true. My booster was from the Moderna variety.
Friend of mine got hers last week and she already advised to drink a lot and to take a painkiller before going to bed. I started drinking a lot but I'm not in the habit of doing the liter a day thing so it's a bit of a struggle with my water bottle at the moment. I think I'm at a little over half a liter at the moment.
She was feeling tired the next day so I already warned my colleagues and my teamlead that I might be absent tomorrow, depends on how the next few hours evolve. My arm is definitely going to hurt, which it has done the two times before, and when I got my Tetanus shot in april last year.
The vaccination centre was a lot more welcoming too. Less background noises, which as an autist I can only applaud. There were teddybears and superheroes on the walls, and a playground in the waiting area... for the all the kids that are coming in for their vaccination. I absolutely loved it.

Then on the less than exciting news side, my teamlead organized a workshop on friday (a month or 2 ago already, when omicron wasn't a problem yet) which is in person. I thought it would be delayed because of the high infectionrates but nope... turns out it will go ahead as planned, 8 of us, among whom there are 2 unvaccinated, in a big room (or so I've been told). It's a workshop around artificial intelligence so it's hard to be not excited about it going forward... but omicron dammit.
One thing's for sure, I'm masking up with FFP2 and I'm driving back home over lunch. I'm not going to stick around the office the rest of the day. I already spend my 1-day-a-week at the office this week. Not making it 2.

Good luck with the workshop, too!
