Not sure how this works, but since both where arrested, I wonder if the car gets towed. This act of ‘protest’ or whatever the hell it was may not work out so well… ---

In my case, yes, the car got towed. I was in a strange town, so I had no good answer for “Which towing service do you want us to use?” Evidently, if you named a towing service, you just got charged that service’s normal rate. If you didn’t, the next service in the rotation was called, and the price got jacked up about 50%. ---

The OSHA thing is interesting…today, corporate cited OSHA in an email explaining how the the vaccine mandate will impact the various company locations. In case you were curious, even though the various branches of the company pretty much act as individual companies, for the purposes of counting employees they’ll all be counted as one unit. For example, even though my location has less than 100 employees, the vaccine mandate will still apply to us. Oh, and we were also told that this wasn’t a mandate on the vaccine, but a mandate on the unvaccinated employees to get tested. 😶 ---

I tell you what, if the people living today were the people living when WW2 found us, 40 years on they wouldn’t be called “The Greatest Generation”. They’d be called something like “The Whiny Punk Motherfuckers.” “I know it’s the war effort, but, but, mah freedumz!” ---

I’m looking forward to seeing how it will be enforced. Throughout this whole thing, corporate has had the appearance of being very strict about masking and such, but actual enforcement at my facility is very lax…mask wearing varies wildly depending upon the department, and there’s no contact tracing at all aside from the office rumor mill. Corporate has been tracking vaccine cards though, so I’m thinking there won’t be a way for my location to sidestep it. There are two unvaccinated people in my department who decided they would ‘have a meeting’ this afternoon. Both are heavily involved in project work. I suspect my workload may be about to increase…unless, of course, management has figured out some way to bypass the vaccine policy just like they did with masking. ---
