This morning was my 07:00 appointment at Quest Diagnostics for the Chi-Com Flu antibody test my doctor reluctantly ordered for me at my request. THIS is what we woke up to this morning.

The lab is about 20 minutes away and I got right in and right out. The sign on the door said face diapers were required. I went in wearing an N95 that virtue signals to people that I don't care about them, I care about ME! I did not see a GFDZ (Gun-Free Death Zone) sign. The test starts with a Chi-Com Flu nasal swab test (my very first one). I complete that and she says, "All set, thank you." I remind her this is an antibody test, I thought there was a blood draw? Oops... nothing like not reading the lab request form. She takes my blood and I am out. Oh yeah, the M&P 45 Shield remained on my right hip concealed the entire time. Since a large grocery store was near the lab, I took back my returnable glass bottles since I knew no one would be hogging up the machines. Now I just need to get rid of the plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Stupid fucking bottle bill!*

I was talking to the town DPW maintenance guy last week. He said not one of their trucks were ready to go for plowing or sanding. The monkeys that work there absolutely beat the shit out of the equipment faster than he can repair it, and parts are getting tough to get when they really break something. I hear grumblings from people around town that if they had the authority, they would fire every one of them motherfuckers and make them reapply for their jobs. The only one that would probably get rehired is the equipment maintenance guy.
*The Kommiecticut bottle bill has been around forever. State government will say it is to promote recycling... I CALL BULLSHIT! They make returning cans and bottles for your deposit purposely a pain in the ass, in the hopes YOU WILL NOT RECYCLE and the deposit money goes into state coffers. Just like not playing the lottery (a suckers tax), I refuse to give them one more penny than they can otherwise confiscate. The bottle bill is taxation on the lazy.
Yeah fuck that snow bullshit.
ReplyDeleteIt's been raining cats and dogs for the last three days but I'll take that over the White Shit any day.
Here in MI, the put the lottery in place, in the very early 1970's. Said it would all go to education. True to their words, that is what happened, every dime goes to education. Then the bastards just cut funding from the general fund that had been going to education, so the lottery was a zero sum project, and they got what was in essence a tax on the poor.
ReplyDeleteHeck, a few years ago, the lottery officials even came out with a lottery game that let people bet as little as 25 cents on drawings. Talk about screwing the poorest who could ill afford to lose their money on gambling. But the good Democrats of Michigan don't really give one damn about people, just staying in power.
