No Zoom then. Or they might fire you. 😀

 

 

Fortunately he's Handsomedan, not Uglydan, so he'll probably get off with a warning.

Being told that replacement projector bulbs would be $500-600 when it needed to be replaced when I bought the projector 18 months ago, to find out it's nearly $1000 now. Not impressed.

PsychoSmiley: Flies. So many god damn flies in the house.

 

 

Inspired by this and a few other one-line complaints, I've started a thread Today's rhetorical question where you can ask the universe in general, "Why me?".

The house alarm false triggering and the AAP app both not being updated for current versions of Android and being such a huge pain to set up that I didn't bother putting it on my current phone, so I had to walk a neighbour through the reset process.

There's literally a whole area specifically designed as parking, yet this person still manages to mount the kerb and park on top of the footpath.

Cars blocking footpaths is becoming a huge problem here in Wellington. If you call the council then the car is usually gone by the time the enforcement officer arrives.

 

I have emailed one of my local councillors to ask for some proactive patrols in my area, but she never even bothered to respond.

Himself having an eye appointment at hospital at 1.15 arriving punctually and finally being seen at 4.45.

I suggested very politely to the office...in future when sending appointments they warn patients so they can bring a drink, snack and their meds, and not to park on a clearway that begins at 4pm or park in a 60 min park which is all there is on the street. They said there was even an extra doctor on today.

Super nice Doctor made up for all the waiting and I get it, they are understaffed, but be forewarned.

Greenlane Eye Clinic? Always bring a book for that, I spent two days there once waiting to be seen and was finally seen after 5pm on the second day by an intern, it was almost like medical care in the US. OTOH they were quite nice, and came round with cups of tea for people who had been waiting a long time.

It's the chip shortage. 

 

 

 

It's Covid. 

 

 

 

It's the supply chain constraints. 

 

 

 

It's the Chinese Government. 

 

 

 

It's....[insert excuse for terrible business practices here]

I think this is why my next projector will be a “laser” (done in Dr Evil voice complete with hand gestures). There’s always that “shall I buy an extra bulb just in case” when you get a new projector. There are cheaper ones on AliExpress on a caveat emptor basis.

Meanwhile I just got a first-party bulb for mine for $60. I'm sure there's a quality difference, but yeesh.
