Outlook in chrome: hides all but the first attachment in an email. Why would you hide one of two attachments? This UI, like most, is wank over function. Its really distressing that basic software is so awful.

Another win for adding an SSD. This ancient celeron HP laptop was poor when it was born, needed a strip down to mobo to change anything at all, and turned out, after the thing booted up, to have only 2G of ram. And it still runs OK

Why The Fuck Does every browser pop up a flopover blocking EVERYTHING to ask to move to a different kind of app. I’m here to do something, not be distracted constantly by complete shit. Didn’t google used to want to cause no harm? Or was that “before”?

Just realised why i seem to be doing ok saving money… it was inexplicable.. but i’ve not cast any bronzes in a year or two.. i better get back into wasting cash on that.

V happy with old i3 laptop after adding ram and an ssd. The ssd had the bigger effect i feel, though going from 4g ram to 16 was obviously essential. Anyway its gone from a limping snail to a usable laptop and it even holds an hour of battery. Rapt.

I think my idea of being rich is like not giving a fig that compressed charcoal batons cost 22 bucks for 4, and even not flinching at buying a $27 sharpening pad to grind those expensive batons to a point.

Honestly- i am trying so hard to do my job.. here comes another work email full of images (why?) all of which are blocked by outlook in various ways, so each looks different; i’m staring trying to grok - - yet again microsoft idiocy + my work’s shite IT policies have made me come to a crashing halt.

It was aurplanes now its the neighbours fighting. Come on guys i have a real pain in the ass to deal with tomorrow i need my sleep.

That moment when the face you’re trying to sculpt turns into alfred e neumann and u realise it needs to go there

Wasted at least 30 minutes today with gmail deciding i was not verified, the computer not letting me log in, i mean these things were sold to us to SAVE FUCKING TIME so when is that going to START?

O week… every free thing they are trying to promote to students now requires they scan a qr code to fill out all their personal info and a pint of blood.

Actually, it just left a shit on the mousetrap. It never went off, another one went off. How it managed to shit on the pressure pad without it going off - i am not worthy of this mouse.

Sure i heard a mouse trap go clack in the kitchen. Suddenly realise i should have paid extra for the never need to look inside black box ones.

Downloaded iheart app for podcasts.. seems like half of the top 100 is right wing shitgibboncasts. No wonder everything is going to hell.

Struggling to force myself to work. Would not be surprised if much adhd is caused by Microsoft constantly trying to distract me, showing me what i might want, instead of just being a tool. Its like politics - boring is good. Just fill potholes and open Word FFS.

Kill me i am the IT tech support for my mum and my sister who are both intensely frustrated with IT

Watching the boeing 737 mac doco. And guess what, trump was pres at this time. No wonder boeing felt bulletproof and killing hundreds of passengers was no biggie.

Sculptor’s caution: never buy the coarse filler. Its never gonna be your idea of coarse, which is a bit rougher than fine. Its gonna be full of chunky sand.

So my sis was given an older laptop. She was forced to make a microsoft email to use to login. So now that email “doesn’t exist” and yet it does cos she cannot use that email name to make it again. So she can never log in to this fucking piece of shit laptop ever again.

Ceasefire for my birthday. Thats all i wanted. Hostages free. Fingers crossed it holds and works.

Doesn’t sound really like firecrackers. I think its the perfect time of year to blow someone away but hopefully i’m just wrong about that sound. But i used to live near a rifle range so i have heard plenty of gunshots in my time

American politics whoo boy. Its like all the stupid little bullies in primary school, except lots of people will die. Only hope is that they squabble amongst themselves most of the time.

Its pretty cool, i’ve got to know that person i live with so well.. i know there is a good chance of nice biscuits in the pantry if i decide one day hey that would be nice. Ps i live alone, with a shit memory.

Finally found the culprit for mystery stench in the fridge. Eggplant dip the neighbours gave me as they went away on hols. Lucky i didn’t eat any of it, whatever stinks that bad cannot be friendly.

11.30 we find out feedback on big shonky redundancy proposal at work closes at 12.00. 11.45 the building had a fire drill. Got it in in time, amid sirens. 12.02 an email from the CEO rolls in: cos of industrial action, feedback is open for the foreseeable future.

So they took the bank branches away, then the ATMs, now we get surcharged up the wazoo for using a card. Who saw that coming?

Farkin stressful this car sales lurk.

Third car i’ve sold on fb marketplace. Just waiting for that one polite message and they can have it for f’all. Bullying me does not make me sell you a car, fellas. I’d rather push it off a cliff.
