Snippet One - Plague Rats

 We got ourselves into this.

I was a network engineer who believed the dribble that the Internet would be a great thing for the masses.

Little did I know that the Internet-enabled Hoi Polloi would. be attracted to cat videos, tits, and paranoid conspiracy theories.

Twenty years ago the Christian Right managed to pry critical thinking and science out of the school curriculum in many school districts, resulting in Q-annon flat-earthers and Trump.

That's you Bozzo, fat old man or woman objecting to mask-wearing on the L, or wearing one with the beak clearly uncovered. Hey idiot, the nose is attached to the lungs. "I am vaccinated!" But you can carry it and I don't want my 3-year-old stuck in an ICU because you are too selfish to be socially responsible.

covid things you hear on the L...1

 I am having my spouse call to set up a psychiatry appointment. I have no tolerance for redundancies, and stupid questions, which is why I am having them make the call. HOWEVER, the company requires a release of information for the file they haven't made yet.  WHY on EARTH would you require a ROI for a patient that DOESN'T EVEN GO THERE. The state has no qualms with taking a patient and throwing them in a psych unit and not telling their family members where they are for a week because "they are a ward of the state and their family doesn't need to know". Doctors can call and get any information they want by just asking about a specific pt and saying they are their doctor. No ROI is needed, but apparently to see a doctor, you need an ROI in your file before you see the doctor.

Oh oh! We were headed south toward The Loop on the Red Line from Howard when two young ladies border at Loyola. There were both dressed for trouble, both college freshmen by age and demeanor. These cars have seating that faces toward the aisle. She probably did not realize how short her dress was. She was going out "commando". I exclaimed "Oh-oh!" as she sat. She riggled and tried to pull the microskirt down in a failed attempt at modesty. I stared at the ceiling, she crossed her legs.
