| Kangaroo Joey Takes A Peek at San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Taken 2.22.22) |
My eyes are so heavy right now and all I want to do is sleep, but I still have work to do before that can happen and it pains me. Today we got the good news that San Diego has been lowered to the "low" community transmission level, even though the threshold now is double what it used to be. Basically it means by CDC standards, the county can drop all masking. This will be super awkward since SDUSD will maintain them because of fear of spring break cases, so I'm sure the news is going to just nail us with parents on the anti-masking side of things day after day after day.
The other good news we got today was that Darren got the job! He was interviewed on Wednesday by San Diego Zoo Safari Park and got a next day callback that they're hiring him!! He's been a taxi driver, a limo van driver, a pedicab driver, but most recently was full time doing Uber until the pandemic happened, and now he'll be a shuttle driver at the park. It's obviously one of my favorite places in the world, so I couldn't be happier about it. He'll start training in a couple weeks. It feels pretty good to get good news when everything else in the world feels so terrible right now.
Stay safe out there.
