The shingles vaccine is no joke. I got the second shot on Friday and was sick all day yesterday. Had body aches and ran a 102 fever for most of the day. Slept for most of the day, too. Did anyone else experience something similar?

From what I’ve heard, having shingles is far worse.
Had my first shot last weekend. I had a case of the blah’s or a day but nothing severe.

That’s great!! It really does vary from person to person.

There was joy and rejoicing in the exended Turk clan to hear that Holden beach opened for renters over the weekend. Turkapalooza 2020 will neither be cancelled nor televised!!!

In other news listening to Joan Baez playing at Woodstock - not hard to find this time of year....

Just took a work team picture with our "2nd Best Place to Work in the Triad" award.

About to turn in my resignation as I have accepted an offer from the 4th best place. Am I doing this wrong?

So...

I've spoken to my direct boss, his boss and now the VP and they have all tried to counter offer. The first two asked me to keep the option of returning in the future open. All very positive, professional conversations, even an invite over to one of their houses next month.

4 hours later I'm still here as they are trying to dick around with me on my non-compete. I've already mentioned that the new job would have me working outside of the scope of the agreement, but they are trying everything they can to threaten me. Thew new company's lawyer has already looked over it and assured the new gig would not break the agreement. I have offered to work a notice, which they accepted, but if this next conversation is a negative one I'm walking out and they can try me in court.

Suck it.

We've been converted to cinnamon in our house. Good luck with the non-compete nonsense. That's a case former employers have a very hard time winning, and I'm sure they are well aware of that.

Yum, Pop-Tarts.

And now for something completely different...just got a call from my friend who I had lunch with on Sunday. He tested positive today.

Looks like I'm getting a vacation.... :9f:

I'd rather drag my scr......
Or:

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (ahh)
So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oh)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)
That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you
I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps
Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you
I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yeah)
Again and again and again and again and again
Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin'
I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathroom in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you
Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you
I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands
And then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

What is up, my dude? Made it to the coast yet? If you pass through Winston-Salem on your way shoot me a text. Would love to have you over for a beer on the deck.

I start my new job a week from Monday.
