I'd say most people can only take me in small doses though.

Shouldn't you have been working while at work rather than being entertained by your phone?

Got caught in a massive hailstorm up near Glenworth Valley. Poor 307 Pug now has half a dozen dents on the roof.

Hopefully you'll get excused, but can be called up another time.
Hopefully, also, it's not a long boring complex fraud matter but a quick couple of days on an easy case with some bull**** defence the lawyer is trying to fly.

I must be the only one who liked jury duty.
Was very interesting to see the process and meet people from different corners. Learnt a lot of random things related to the cases that I otherwise would have not been exposed to but geez the amount of time wasted and dodgy people practicing law.... |

I actually do fortnightly work within the local courthouse, I see the inner workings of what goes on, including a decent amount of the sh.t people get themselves into. I also caught Covid while working in there. Again, I have no desire to spend any more time than I have to in that place.

Computers....
Now I know how to use a computer, but not the ins and outs of how they work. I dont know which is stupider, the internet, my computer or me. So the bluetooth stopped working. Internet says make sure its turned on. Well, in the settings and on the task bar all indications of bluetooth were now missing. Next thing internet said was go to device manager and update the driver for bluetooth. Couldnt do that as there was no bluetooth device connected and it said nothing bluetooth under network devices but the wifi thing. Hmmmm, stupid bloody thing. Multiple restarts, a few choice words, even yelling at it wouldnt fix it. So i made a decision that would potentially stuff the whole thing. I deleted the wifi thing. Restarted the thing and it automatically re installed the wifi thing and bluetooth was back. Yes i had to re pair wifi and my bluetooth stuff. So it was a win in the end, but i had to work it out myself. Majority of what the internet said was 'windows 11, they all do that'. |

Have a similar issue with nearby share. Phone to phone file sharing is lightning fast, but many, many problems with consistency when initiating the transfer. Everything from restarting phones to turning the software on/off on either phone, lock/unlock pad, notifications menus,
The only answer I can give is that a gremlin troll is in the software. |

You guys are not alone, I had a crappy morning tryin to setup a work NUC.
It wouldnt recognise the 2nd screen, and while trying to find a solution my keyboard kept losing contact (its a corded keyboard). Unplug/replug, nope, Unplug/replug, now mouse is dead. They both eventually worked but I did nothing more than the above unplug/replug. The monitor? Someone happened to say Youre not trying to go hdmi to displayport are you? Well yes I am. That wont work. Well why do I have a hdmi to displayport cable? Only burnt 2.5 hours between that and trying to use my password to access drives/VPN. This is after my radiator crapping out before work. No, no, not frustrating at all. How many times a PC that worked fine yesterday now looks and works differently or not at all? When I use my hammer and put it away, I can always grab it the next day and it still works as it should.... thats what you want. |

Geez.... I hate that car dealerships no longer consider having a parts department thats open on a saturday morning to be a necessity.
Y'know? To cater for those of us who work weekday jobs and cant just bugger off across town to buy parts?

Why has chinotto softdrink become unavailable? All kinds of unpopular flavours available from certain manufacturers, but chinotto was always a good seller at several supermarkets I frequent.
Only expensive little bottles around and they're always nearly out of date or flat. |
