mattydfc Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Getting sent home from work unwell. Normally I'd brave it but I couldn't move from my desk. Back when I was 18 I would have loved getting sent home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 My car is knackered, to say the least. The electrode has broken off one of the spark plugs, causing oil to leak out, and breaking one of the Pistons. Not looking forward to the estimate one bit. Having to scrap it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Something in the house is intermittently beeping, loud enough to drag me from my filth-ridden pit of sloth. It's not a beep I've heard before, and I've checked all the alarms of varying descriptions, along with the electronic devices that might require charging. Starting to think it's coming from somewhere within the walls. Either the meds are wearing off, or the feds/aliens/Scientologists have implanted some kind of tracking device in my head. Which is much like saying the same thing, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Beeping's finally stopped. Swear there was a short, quiet burst of voices, then silence for the past fifteen minutes. Off to bed now. Probably just a coincidence that it all ended after I put the tinfoil hat on, but I'm taking it with me anyway. Night all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This is the very definition of a first world problem, but it's something so easily avoided that it irritated me. I needed to return something to Apple. No problem - phoned them up, they generated a returns label which I duly printed and dropped off for UPS to pick up. But silly me forgot to note down the tracking number; still no problem, just load up the label again and job done. Except the tracking number kept showing "Order processing - waiting for delivery to UPS". From Wednesday until last night it was showing this. So I loaded the label again and lo and behold it was a different tracking number. Silly me. I tried it, but nothing. To cut a long story short(ish), it turns out that a new label is generated every time the page is loaded. So the number I was originally tracking was completely different to the one associated with the parcel. Is it really beyond the wit of a company like Apple to store the label the first time it's generated then continue to show that label each time the page is loaded? And yes, I know it could have been avoided completely if I'd just written the number down first time...but, meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm waiting for my appointment at the dentist. I don't particularly mind the dentist, it's just a fairly boring and mundane way to spend a part of your day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My dental hygienist is a little honey with big chebs and smells like Summertime. It's such a shame she's an utter cow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Got called mate by a female nurse at my work last night. It was said in that nasal, neddy tone and I instantly felt sorry for whoever she was looking after. Thoroughly unprofessional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Is it petty to absolutely hate everyone you work alongside? Guy who sits next to me just said randomly "Its 6 months to the day until its Xmas eve"....I mean what kind of absolute gimp do you need to be to come out with something like that. My line manager gets on my nerves as well, mostly just for being born but the biggest thing is that he has 2 pieces/rolls/pitta breads with ham and cheese on it accompanied with a packet of plain hula hoops every day for his lunch. Every.fucking.day. That shouldnt bother me but it really does. Cretin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
