don't bother, once you're positive that's that. focus on getting better and not spreading it to others

like

Yeah quarantine and try not to spread. Chances of false positive are very low. Don't go out and infect others. Look up the quarantine period (there are different recommendations for Vax vs Unvaxxed I believe) . And for sure DONT go a family members for the holidays

Pcr is generally a real positive

It’s a waste of your time to wait in line again. Agree with everyone above on PCR accuracy and danger to others. Plus it’s highly likely that you have COVID given the current surge. Just act as if you have it and start your 10-day isolation period.

I tested positive on Friday and was completely asymptomatic up until that point. I only tested myself because a coworker who I’d seen earlier in the week ended up testing positive. I was congested and exhausted for the next few days so I trust those test results.

My niece had a false positive. The whole fam is sick. Get everyone tested or just assume we all have it? And yes definitely quarantining. Just debating the 2nd test. I waited in line 2 hours for this test and remember thinking there will be errors with how many people are being tested for holidays

like

Yes but for what test and when. The PCR is generally very accurate now. Don't bother at this point. Worse case you spreading it to all those other people who are trying to protect their family for the holidays

I would test the rest of the family if for no other reason than to know who should quarantine and who doesn’t need to.

How do I know if it’s omicron?

They’re not doing variant testing on every positive sample. You won’t know if it’s delta or omicron unless you end up hospitalized or needing monoclonal antibodies, because there’s not enough lab capacity to test every sample. It’s not really important for you to know this anyway.

“Can we make the drizzle a little more luscious?”

My issue is less with the fact that the word “luscious” is pretty binary. The drizzle is either luscious or it isn’t. My issue is the “a little more” part. So, it’s luscious right now. We want it MORE luscious—but definitely not a lot more, just a little. Otherwise it would be TOO luscious. Can’t have that.

Looking for advice on where to head next. Now I'm mostly working with Azure Databricks, SQL, and a little bit of Ansible CI/CD.
After 12 months I can influence where my next role is and I'm wondering what is the best career direction.
The next role can include
C#,
APIs,
React,
DevOps / Ansible,
Or more Azure Synapse & Databricks
Which of these languages / technologies is good for my future in tech? Or does it matter?
