COVID-19 vaccine discussion
The concept of “jumping the line” doesn’t really apply here in my opinion. Why? Because every person who gets vaccinated, young, old, healthy, obese, is one fewer person who can pass the disease to others. Every young healthy person “jumping the line” right now is somewhat beneficial to the rest of society.

Giving boss notice by phone
I once resigned from a very small company. Went to my manager’s office and gave him the news. Then I asked him if I should also go and tell the owner or if he was gonna do that. He goes “I’ll tell him and he’ll probably want to talk to you”. As it turns out, the owner took it very badly and did not want to talk to me. In fact for the remaining two weeks he took great care to look and act like the bitchass that he was every chance he got. It was a very unpleasant last two weeks. Next time I resign (which will be the last time) I think I’ll do it James Bond style. Email with “I hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect”.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
Thanks. So the Pfizer/moderna vaccines and the J&J vaccine are actually pretty similar. They all accomplish the same: give the cells a recipe for making the spike protein which then migrate outside the cell, which trigger the production of antibodies against the spikes. So when the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus goes in, the antibodies “block” the spike protein and prevent the virus from entering cells.

Which City Is The Next Austin?
Nola is below sea level, so scratch it from the list. Madison is cool and it’s a state capital, and it has a large university, but the winters are extremely shitty. The average temperature in January is 20 fucking degrees. AVERAGE.

I believe the correct nomenclature is “service water heater” or “domestic water heater”.
