Lies, Polio, Laptops and the Undiscovered Country

Apparently I am a liar 🤥. My break on nights can literally be whenever in the shift. Sometimes I might get two half hour breaks instead of an one hour break. But I didn't know that. So it wasn't a lie, it was just a misinformed guess. So don't sue me.

I was reading about polio last night. I don't fully understand it but apparently there are three serotypes of polio. Type 2 is considered eradicated. The other two, type 1 & 3, are limited to only a few countries. I have heard claims that the reason it is not fully eradicated is due to people refusing vaccinations. I didn't find evidence of that being the case but I am also not fully informed about the issue. I read the most I could understand on the CDC website which wasn't much. All I can safely say is that North America hasn't had a case since the 1990s and that case was linked to travel. This doesn't really have to do with anything other than I was curious and needed something to do while setting up my sleep schedule for a week of training on nights.

I am planning on getting a new laptop soon. I am in the research phase. There are a lot of options. So yay for freedom but also choice paralysis is definitely slowing down my progress. How big of a screen do I want? How many keys do I want? What operating system do I want? What color(s) do I want various parts to be? What the heck is a SSD and is it contagious? Ah the stress of actually having enough money to buy things! 

There is a local event coming up near me. It is an event that usually involves a lot of STD spreading among adults who are active in that way. This time, it will also be a potential Co Vid spreader. So that's fun. Luckily, I have to work, so I will be missing out. Did I say luckily because I meant luckily? The more I look at the word luckily the less it looks like a word to me. I think I am on the tired end of the alertness gauge. Are these letters I am using or just squiggles mushed together? Who's to say? Perhaps I should convince someone to be an editor to ensure that I am still speaking English into these blog posts in the morning. Nah. That would require telling someone about this blog, which I still haven't done yet. I will someday. Maybe. Or it will be a secret project someone will discover years after I have visited the undiscovered country (that is slang for died, at least I think it is as I heard it after respawning in a video game and now I am overexplaining a reference that doesn't even matter. Winning!). 

That's enough nonsense for the night.
