     I'm still pretty upset by the colleague who, honestly, is a well-meaning dude who came up to me and said, "Why are you still wearing a mask?"

     Me: "I'm high risk, and it's not over."

     Him: "Yeah, but I think it's mostly over, isn't it?"

     Me: *shrug* "Not really. Wastewater sampling shows... you know what? Never mind. I'm managing my own risk and can't do anything about anyone else. Don't worry about it."

     That's where we are, folks. I am pathologised if I say anything, so from now on, my standard answers are going to be, "Because I'm hideously ugly," "I'm an internationally-wanted cybercriminal," and "it's a fetish".

     And if I'm very angry, "Because I'm not stupid."

     Though I've tried that one before. The people who hear it are honestly bewildered. I won't be changing anyone's mind.

     At this point, I'm not even out to.

     I'm tired.
