Vaccination time

I got my annual flu vaccine from Occupational Health, conveniently done in the space outside the cafeteria. Since I work in a medical school, it’s mandatory. There was a very brief interval years ago when they also did COVID vaccination but the vibes of doing anything at all about a much more severe ongoing disease disaster are bad, so we’re exclusively worrying about a less-severe problem now and completely ignoring the bigger one.

Anyway, they have to keep records both in the usual anything medical gets documented sense and also since it’s mandatory for employees they have to record that so they know I’m in compliance. This year was special compared to recent years, because now my formal name on the ID badge and in the records system “looks like” a name someone who “looks like” me might likely have. So we just went through the process straight through from the start with no interval of confusion assuming that something must have gotten looked up incorrectly because the name seems obviously wrong!
