I've possibly mentioned it here a time or two before, I hav moderate emphysema, and moderate asthma. As such I am in the elevated risk group so I get vaccinated when needed.

Yesterday was a couple of vaccinations, pneumonia, flu, COVID booster and second round of hep A/B vaccine (occupational exposure hazard of plumbing).

This morning I was handing over my doctors excuse. Typically I don't give information when I visit a doctor- here's my excuse go fuck yourself please. For some reason I told the office manager why I went - vaccinations, blood work, and a referral for my twice yearly endoscopy.

You'd have though I told her I kick puppies and steal old folks disability checks, the fucking look she gave me.

She started out with this 'have you done your research...' bullshit, so I asked her why her medical degrees weren't hanging up if she knew better than medical professionals and left for my first service call. Then, I got to listen to my 17 year old apprentice (the owners dipshit son) explain to me how I really need to do some research and I'd probably change my opinion because I'm smart and I just need to be shown the right info, and that the other guys at the shop agreed about vaccinations. He then tried explaining to me that his grandpa who died last year of complications from esophageal cancer was really complications from the covid booster two years later.

Told him I'm dropping him with his daddy because we can't justify the labor for an apprentice and a plumber for the service calls I had lined up today.

Ain't fucking doing it anymore. I'm sixteen hours into overtime already and I'm paid double time so I'm not fucking this week up. I will finish my week at one shop and I will have another job by Friday this week if worse comes to it.

I'm not arguing with assholes anymore in the year of our lord twenty twenty five.

How was y'all's day?
