issenlloWell, it's not COVID but a cold/cough after more than three years isn't welcome either.
(1) I've just finished the beginnings of my Linkedin profile, an ordeal which was as sigh-inducing as expected. I think the sole reason I haven't gone looking for a new job earlier is just how much I hated/still hate job-hunting. I'm that mix of (a) some experience but it's a rather niche area that doesn't really adapt well to other areas, which is a bummer if you would rather not have the same job again, (b) being not very motivated to want to put in additional hours (but if I have to...) but almost certainly have to, and (c) sadly and low-key worried that my job is becoming obsolete and therefore change is imminent. And (d) I'm really not a genial person and am hampered by extreme passivity. Basically, needs must but T_T
We'll see.
(2) Another thing that are (more?) imminent: Yuletide nominations, and then Yuletide itself. I'm (again) in two minds about Yuletide this year. The thing is, after making my requests I inexplicably (or not) feel like writing my requests myself anyway, for better or worse. But then I've got great Yuletide fics over the years, so that feels too lovely to give up.
(3) Related to (2), what fandoms? I suddenly thought of The Imperial Coroner, and possibly HIStory3: Trapped and Make Your Days Count again.

3) My nominations are, fwiw, all poems by ghosts from the Tang Dynasty. (Okay, that's inaccurate: one's technically a dream visitor, and one writes three poems, not one. There's three haints of various types and they write poems.)
