To hell with that @sabergirl Go nuts and enjoy your anni @Joberwocky Everyone’s gonna get it sooner or later. Omicrons like the pit bull of covids. It sounds scary but it ends up just licking your face.

I've had some crazy congestion the last day or so, but kinda figured it was just the time of year. Also a but of a sore throat, but had thought might that might have been me cranking up my exercise recently and not being on top of my breathing. Oh well, hoping that's kinda the extent of my symptoms

It is getting odd. In the past ~ 2 years, I didn't know and haven't heard from anyone who has gotten COVID in my immediate circle of colleagues, friends and families. In just the past three days, I now know of 6 people who had it. Luckily, none of them experienced serious symptoms. This Omicron variant is hitting closer to home. Stay safe everyone.

@Joberwocky feel better bud
@Matt that sucks, royal mail sometimes struggle getting things from A to B domestically. Hopefully your shirt shows up soon
-
FWIW, I've received stuff via Royal Mail that took forever, but it always managed to eventually arrive.
-
Rest up @Joberwocky ! Hoping you recover with ease.
Omarion (Omicron) variant is running rampant in my neck of the woods. I'm the only left on my immediate team that hasn't caught COVID. What a time to be alive..
-
Thanks guys, I feel like I've fortunately dodged the worst of it.
I'm the first adult in my family to get COVID, not a prestigious honor I wanted

Hey, just think of yourself as a familial Covid pioneer! Where no fam has gone before

I find it sort of ironic that a lot of the time, USPS is the fastest and cheapest option for us here. I sell a lot of music stuff on Reverb and almost always ship Priority — sometimes it's a little delayed, but I've never had anything flat-out lost and most of the time it takes just 2, 3 days max. Meanwhile I shake my fist anytime I order something and it ships to me via UPS or FedEx Ground.
I will say though — UPS and DHL International are f'n incredible. It never makes any sense to me that stuff can get to me from outside of the US in 1 to 2 days, yet domestically it can be a real shitshow.

I have a package being shipped FedEx ground right now from out of state. It was first scanned in state in a town roughly 40 miles east of where it was to be delivered. It then travelled within 1 mile of the delivery destination (I know this because there is only one highway a FedEx truck would have taken), past the destination, and was scanned again about 20 miles southwest of the delivery address. It then went another 20-30 miles south of the delivery address. It then went 20 miles Northeast and is now going on day two of sitting in a warehouse about 30 miles from the delivery address. It took 3 days for the package to make it from Illinois to Washington (roughly 2,100 miles/3,400KM) and we're now going on 4 days of the package pinballing around the state.
