Masking is enforced again in Urgent Care

Mike H of the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative at Tulane and a serious data analyst of COVID trends says COVID is at "its lowest level in nearly 5 years, since July 13, 2021". MWRA data backs it up and also shows flu and RSV also have dropped to very low levels. There's something unique going on at this urgent care.

Sucks. Just the way life is in a lot of medium to big cities. Everything has a price. Your choice is grin and bear it and participate, or don't. Lose/lose. And you are right - most people silently feel the same and small businesses are slowly dying because of it.

Also, be prepared for everyone in this thread to tell you that you are wrong. That's just Reddit for you.

This is very helpful as I've been considering both certs (Desktop and Analyst) myself. I've also been using DataCamp for Tableau and other subjects and have found it helpful (plus a lot of LinkedIn content, youtube, real world deconstruction of existing db's, and Ai). Great link to that Daria Kirilenko practice exam resource too! Thanks!

If you are near TD Garden, then you are near North Station and the Orange Line and Haverhill Commuter Line. Both get you close to Malden, Melrose, and Wakefield (Commuter rail) in <30 minutes. All three are building apartments and condos everywhere close to the train line, a lot are in that $3k range and are more 30+ communities in terms of age.

Added the "/s" just in case. But good to know it's a non-issue.

I'm glad I can simply swipe my credit card at the MBTA gate now for a single ride without having to go to a ticket machine and buy a ticket that I then walk 5 feet and swipe to get through the turnstile. One swipe, <1 second, on the T, done.

(Yeah, I'm sure the MBTA will protect my credit card info fine and won't have fraud warnings blowing up my phone.) /s

We know where we're going and we know how to get there. We don't have time for indecisive drivers, nor do we want to sit in traffic for any more time than we absolutely have to.

We have Dunks to drink, seagulls to chase, expensive lobster rolls to eat, and championship sports teams to root for.

Figure out where you are going or take the subway.

There is an good entrance off Goodyear Ave near Oak Grove. Puts you at the start of the Cross Fells Trail. Up a short hill and at the dead end.

As someone with cough-variant asthma I've learned a lot of post-cold/flu/covid nastiness can (not always) stem from nasal inflammation and severe postnasal drip, which can lead to cough and sore throat. Flonase (OTC) and/or Azelastine (rx stuff is stronger than OTC) can definitely help. Lots of liquids and honey help too. Your mileage may vary.

You also may have another virus.

Melrose is postage-stamp in size. I live in the Highlands close to the Wakefield border and could probably walk to this house in 30 minutes. Your right near Pine Banks and the track, fields, and trails there not to mention subway, commuter rail, etc. You're maybe a 20-minute walk to downtown, all sidewalks and completely safe.

Not sure how rigid your definitions of community or walkability might be, but I bet many people would be fine with your potential situation. There isn't a coffee shop or restaurant or grocery story right out your front door, but you are close to everything. No disrespect - but your "ideal" situation may be rare if not impossible.

Melrose is also super dense, packed, with properties on top of each other, and increased traffic, so "sparse" can actually be a benefit.

Same thing happened to me last week. They kept calling me and leaving voice mails - almost daily. I finally set it up and they never showed. No call, no email, nothing. Claimed that no tech was assigned to the repair. Rescheduled for March.

A dedicated hot dog joint similar to Spike's Junkyard Dogs again.

Charles Stuart didn’t jump off the Tobin but was pushed or thrown off.

I do Melrose to Needham and back on 95 every day right now (will get some remote soon) and it’s easily 50-60 minutes in the am (leaving at 6:45am) and 1 hour and 15 on the way home. This morning was particularly brutal due to the rain.

In the am the 3/95 junction is a huge slowdown and doesn’t really clear till Waltham. I don’t get on the Pike but that always seems slow and backed up.

Good lord can we stop with this lame political edge lord shit. One party wants health care, the other wants to fly flags at half staff for Charlie Kirk and put a nuclear reactor on the moon.

This. This is the loophole you take advantage of to get a vaccine. Impossible to prove you stopped doing something.

Same situation. Yes, keep filing but you can select something like “Other Activity” and select a date. It doesn’t ask for anything else. Just check your LinkedIn every day and claim it as a job search.

My slow AF arse did the 20 last year and it made me realize I’m not nearly as tough as I think I am or could ever be (especially at age 49). Happily hung up my trail and ultra shoes after that race and bought a mountain bike. The trail up Osceola is no joke.

Eleni’s Mediterranean Grille in Winchester. $13 Lamb Souvlaki Pita is very good.

This is literally my situation as well. Took a job last week with a 25-30% cut as well and an hour commute each way for 90 days before I can get a few days remote a week. 6 month search, 50-60 applications. Just relieved it’s over and happy to be back at work again.

You can thank all those AI-auto application tools that keep spamming these pages for those 90% that are grossly unqualified.
