Feb. 8th, 2022 08:53 pmWas back in the office today. I think they finished painting my apartment, but apparently the fire alarm installation bit was beyond them? I came home with the fire alarm in two pieces and the directions spread out on my coffee table. Paint brushes in the sink. I don't know what to do with them - I texted the super, but no response.
The painting looks finished for the most part. There is a line of demarcation between newly painted wall and wall that wasn't painted, onee is slightly darker, sort of like it has a perpetual shadow cast against it.
Doesn't bother me, I'm thinking of putting up book shelves and maybe photos on that side anyhow.
I do need a new fire alarm installed. I don't have one. I've decided to ignore the window guard bit until I get one. Although they were busy with plumbers today - elsewhere.

Work was once again headache inducing.
I've decided Crazy Workplace's new motto is if it isn't broke, fix it.

COVID - people have grown weary of it again. Seeing maskless wonders on the subways and trains again.
* Several U.S. states — including New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Delaware and Oregon — have started rolling back mask mandates.
* Italy is dropping its outdoor mask mandate as cases decline.
* Johnson & Johnson temporarily halted production of its Covid vaccine, the preferred choice for much of the developing world, to make a potentially more profitable drug.
* 70 percent of Americans agreed with the statement that “it’s time we accept Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives” in a recent poll by Monmouth University. Support for vaccine mandates dropped to 43 percent from 53 percent in September, and support for masking and social-distancing guidelines dropped to 52 percent from 63 percent over the same period.
*A recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey found that 46 percent of respondents thought Americans should “learn to live with” the pandemic and “get back to normal.” By contrast, 43 percent thought “we need to do more to vaccinate, wear masks and test.”
*A Republican firm, Echelon Insights, found that 55 percent of voters thought Covid-19 should be “treated as an endemic disease that will never fully go away,” like the flu, while 38 percent said it should be “treated as a public health emergency.”
* The Monmouth University survey also found that support for vaccine mandates dropped to 43 percent from 53 percent in September, and support for masking and social-distancing guidelines dropped to 52 percent from 63 percent over the same period.
* Meanwhile, north of the border, an unruly occupation by truck drivers who oppose coronavirus restrictions has paralyzed Ottawa, the Canadian capital, for the past 11 days. ( Read more... )

Got tired of my sunset photo falling off the wall - it had been taken down for painting and won't go back up for some reason. I'm going to have to get new stickem hangers. So, I propped it on one of the my bookcases for the time being.
I need to print off, frame and hang photos, I think. Maybe I'll take my phone into Wallgreens and print off a few and get them framed or I could go through an online store.

Speaking of...here's a picture or rather the picture that kept falling down.
