Nice while it lasted
I heard from the Covid response team from work at the end of last week, so this week I’m allowed back to work. Even though for the most part I am still having virtual meetings.
We’re at the stage of our project where I find myself in charge of performance testing and having to adapt the existing infrastructure to our new feature. The tech lead and squad lead are busy with all sorts of stuff and so it falls to me to do the planning and project management. Not sure I enjoy that too much.
The education department isn’t sure they’ll get the funding for me to transfer there, so I have to follow up with them.

Start of Summer
So, we’ve had our 2 weeks of spring weather, and now summer begins with Memorial day. The temperature went into the high 80s last week. We didn’t do anything special for Memorial day except for La Professeure’s grad school lab mate visiting with her family, so I cooked for them.
We did take this Friday off so we have a long weekend. Yesterday we went to a cat cafe in Huntington that was fostering a lot of (I think they said 40??) cats, and we had fun playing with some of them. That place was very clean and well-kept, but a bit small for the number of cats there; I’m not sure I would be happy as a cat there long term. We probably won’t adopt any though - La Professeure is in the process of fostering a rabbit. Afterwards we went to a nature reserve, but the only animals we saw were bugs.
After the last two years, I’m hoping this summer will be somewhat more normal.

You get Covid! You get Covid! Everybody gets Covid!
More and more of my and La Professeure’s coworkers are getting covid now. We were supposed to go to a retirement party tonight for La Professeure’s ex-boss, but the host canceled because he caught Covid. I think from this point on, we always have to factor in a risk of every plan that they may get up-ended by Covid.
La Professeure got a sore throat earlier in the week and has taken a test every day till symptoms subsided today.
These are still scary times.
