Genuinely well worth spending £6+ extra getting it delivered by someone else rather than using their dogshit service. Spend money to get a next day tracked delivery, only to go a whole week without the parcel and a tracking message stuck at the same time for most of it. No updates or response or anything. An item worth almost a grand just vanished. You're only insured up to about £60 too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a shit slide. If people need to read, send them reading. Slides for presentation should have one or two concise points as prompts, or diagrams, or ideally a lovely graph, and should be talked over. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnderooMFC Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 On the GP chat - booked an appointment for myself and it was 4 weeks away. Since I'd already waited 4 weeks from my first onset of symptoms I kinda accepted this. I had no idea how urgent it could have been but as it hadn't killed me yet then another month wasn't gonna make much difference. "Is it an emergency?" idk lady, 50% of google is telling me I've got a brain tumor and 5% think I've had a stroke. ((I probably don't, doctor didn't seem too worried when I saw him but that is part of his job)) What really annoyed me is when I needed one for the child. Was unsure originally so phoned 111. Talked to a nurse/dr there and they advised make a GP appointment. Phoned the GP. Receptionist gave me a callback in an hour... GP spoke to me all of 2 minutes and booked an actual face-to-face appointment for the same day. You know, the thing I was told I needed over an hour ago. No idea what the point of booking the dr callback was for when I'd already spoke to a qualified person. I blame the receptionist, again. I do like the sign-in screen they have though so you don't need to talk to the nosy cow when you turn up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Movies on TV with wildly fluctuating sound levels. Volume up for the talkie bits, down for the action bits. Way down for the ads. Sound guy, you have one job. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
