My fear of strength was hosting a Festivus party on Saturday not knowing my appendix had burst.

Does that count?

Half of a disused clothesline in my yard was knocked over with a lawnmower (I'll get the other half down after the thaw).

It is now my Festivus pole.

Don't email the help desk on the afternoon last day before the holiday break and expect us to talk your through the process of submitting an expense claim on the financial system (on which we have no access and experience) because you can't be half-assed enough to A) get your claims filed promptly, or B) read the farking instructions that the Finance department emails you every couple of months.

I'm not paid nearly enough to care about your crisis until after the new year.

I'm celebrating Festivus with a shiny, brand-spanking new positive COVID test!

My grievance is that I tested negative 2 weeks ago when I felt sick.  Then on the first day I feel 100% better, I swab and it comes back positive.  Mother.... fkkr.

My feat of strength is that I'm still making a 16-lb standing rib roast for Xmas.  The entire family has tested positive, and we already have the roast, so WTF not?

I guess I picked the right day to double-down on my workout. Yay me.

bughunter: My grievance is that I tested negative 2 weeks ago when I felt sick. Then on the first day I feel 100% better, I swab and it comes back positive. Mother.... fkkr.


So I just got off the phone with a nurse.  (Apparently they call everyone who tests positive at the clinic I go to.)

She said that they're starting to find that people who are fully vaxxed and boosted will frequently show a false negative early in the course of a COVID infection, but then test positive later.

For up to 90 days later, on a PCR test.

Not a typo:  Ninety.  Days.

Holy Fkk.  If that's true, I have a new grievance.

My employer requires I pass a covid test every two weeks, and rapid tests are not accepted.  Now I'm going to test positive for two months or more?  Long after I've recovered?

(And what the fark is the point of testing if it's not going to catch the disease when I'm contagious?!?)

I'm not sure I believe this nurse...

My doc told me this also. Felt like shiat and like I had COVID again. This was months after I had had it. Weeks after the latest booster. Home test negative. Went in for tridemic PCR test and found out I had RSV.

That shiat be nasty.

My grievance: My browser keeps trying to finish my sentences.  That's my spouse's job.
My feet of strength: I haven't posted a grammatical mistake on fark for an entire year.

I'm sure I'm not the only one where drunk dad on holidays hiats a little too close to home. I think I was 19 or 20 the last time I walked out of holiday dinner crying. I haven't had any contact with that SOB for twenty years. Don't even know if he's still alive and I don't care. The sad part is his sister died shortly after I broke contact and she and her husband had just adopted a kid. I have no idea what's going on with my cousin because my aunt's husband's family thinks dad is as much of an asshole as I do.Fortunately that is a big family so it should have worked out as well as it could.

A couple years after I broke off contact I received a drunken, rambling, Chrismas voice mail from the man. Except he thought he was talking to my brother. For fark's sake, get your shiat together, man. I apologize if this is too much information, that Festivus story really strikes a chord and I don't think people realize how traumatized that writer really is.
