scrubjayspeaksWhaaaaaatthefuuuuuuuck... Got home to an email from the county registry for vaccinations. Basically, great news, we're closing our registry! Looks like you've had a chance to schedule an appointment. Super!
Hey. Hey, fuckos. I very much have NOT had a chance to schedule an appointment. Insofar as this is the first I've heard from you after first putting myself on the registry to get assigned an appointment. What are you doing???
They had links in case you haven't, in fact, gotten to schedule an appointment. After filling out a stupidly comprehensive form, I now have an appointment. For Friday. This Friday.
Which, for a number of reasons, is going to suck massive donkey balls. I'm assuming I'm going to feel unusually awful, thanks to the complicating factor of chronic illness. This would not have been the weekend I would have chosen to ride out that particular experience. But considering the fuckery about and how long I've been waiting, I didn't want to delay any more than necessary. (Necessary, in this case, being a day when I'm not working, because oh, right, they schedule all vaccinations during normal business hours. Because fuck you if you work, am I right?)
I realize that this has happened this way because they are lifting more of the restrictions/requirements, as supply is up and demand is down. So I guess this was supposed to make me happy. But it really just comes across as, we made you jump through hoops and wait, then we got rid of all those rules, so now you have to start from scratch with the hoop-jumping and the waiting. I am less than thrilled.
Also, why are they asking me about all these factors that would make me higher risk? Y'all don't give a fuck about that anymore, remember? It's a free-for-all now. That's the point?????
It's just. Wicked stupid. At various points, I should have qualified as an essential worker AND as someone with higher risk, but every time I got close to qualifying, they went, eh, you know, never mind about those restrictions. We'll open it up to everyone. Thereby shoving me down to the bottom of the list again. Absurd.
