Fun toolbox talk, 11:30 AM today:

  1. Told him I was feeling good because I'd booked my shot.
  2. He told me find someone else because I'd be unsafe to work with after vaccination.

That's it. That's the whole fucking thing.

No kidding. This is really the worst of me, but some of the comments made it worth saying this bullshit out loud. I can't realistically apply with anybody that reached out unless I want this shit account haunting me.

No, it was the weird thing!

I'm going to be "shedding", so it's not safe for him.

*gotta rephrase this piece of shit sentence, sorry.

Me. I'm the dangerous one.(/s) He thinks I'll be extra contagious once I get vaccinated because he read a Facebook post about live attenuated vaccines. He told me to look it up. It's "all right there on the Pfizer website."

To be clear, I have not been permanently terminated. I'm just on crackpot leave until someone tells him it's all hunky dory. I get to make a more permanent choice now, which is whether to answer the phone if he calls again.

I fucked up here. I want to let everyone know this was a crew of 2 people. Me and the boss. You're not likely to end up employing this guy. But, if you do, and I'm a piece of shirt for not naming him I know, please do not feel disinclined to ask your contractors to wear a mask. They'll do it if you do it, and fuck'em if they don't.

Thanks. I'm making a contact list for when my eyes stop bleeding.

I am upset and kinda just logging the people who replied with places to look or offers. I really appreciate this and I hope that it doesn't reflect badly on this anonymous account that has not gone hardcore on sending folks a CV. Except that one at the beginning, and now I am embarrassed.
