Minor Rant thread 2016

[mothhawk]

Getting lunch ready to serve I dropped a pyrex dish of mashed potato squarely on the kitchen floor. The result can be very aptly described as smashed to smithereens. There were tiny slivers and specks of glass from one end of the kitchen floor to the other, couldn't have been a space more than 3" square that didn't have glass in it.

And me standing in bare feet the furthest end from the door.

Grabbed the nearest thing to hand, a damp dishcloth, and wiped a track to the door so I could get out and get some shoes on so I could clean up.

Then lunch with no mash

On the plus side, the kitchen floor has been swept, hoovered, and washed

Folks not understanding that they should be happy to have only been rapped across the knuckles for such a wicked crime

Whingers! (No, I'm a ranter, there is a difference. )

This particular person has spent a couple of years (seems much longer) bemoaning the fact they do not see enough of their grandchildren. This has been due to a difference of personality between them and the grandchildren's mother. This does not surprise me, as this person's children are perfect, and everyone else is a waste of space...

Now, things have changed, and this person looks after the grandchildren frequently. I do not know why, I do not care, I am sick of listening to this person's whingeing, and have long since switched-off!

You'd think all would be well in their world, wouldn't you?

However, the frequent whinge now, is how long the grandchildren have been 'dumped' with them, and how far/how long/how early/how late this person has had to be/go/do/drive/whatever, these grandchildren.


Part of me says 'Be careful what you wish for...'

The other part of me say SHUT THE CHUFF UP! You whingeing old !@£$%^&*()_)(*&^%$£@


Oooh, I'm on the right thread for a change!!

As you were.

Bin day tomorrow.

Means I have to go out to get our bin out where we have locked it away because someone keeps putting their rubbish in our bin and filling it up so we can't put any more in.

It's just a ball ache having to go get it out the storage room every time it's bin day.

[Greenleaves]

Dear computer.

My goodness you did do a good job of messing with my head today, didn't you? I thought I had you licked on these random intermittent glitches by performing that well known fix of a total log out/shut down/power off/make a cup of tea/fire up again.

I've even passed the advanced course of repeating the above with a *tiny* alteration in the order of doing things until - with no discernible logic - all works again.

You've taken it a stage further today by all of a sudden deciding not to send emails at work anymore. Oh, right. This needs a quick fix as a company without emails is not a company for very long, meaning that I had to go all through the rigmarole of spending the whole sodding day being shuttled between the two tech companies (one hardware/telephony; one webmaster/mailhost), neither of whom can communicate with normal people. And on top of that, do not seem to be able to talk to each other, except via my technically tin ears.

We all know that there are settings to be altered - if only one of those clever chaps could tell me what the smtp setting needs altering to. How hard could this be?

In order to set everything out to both tech companies in terms I can understand, I've spent an hour composing an email to them both (from my hotmail account), complete with screen shots, and supporting information.

Double checking that I had stated the position correctly, I re-checked your existing settings, clicked through, and lo and behold you've decided to work again.

I hate you.

[Potstubsdustbins]

^^^^^^^^^^ Funnily enough I have just come on to moan about an agency that rang to say I was not answering their e-mails and not covering the work sent.

Trouble is I haven't had any e-mails for two days, they run a check and neither has any of their other contractors either. What's more they were not bouncing back at them so they had no idea.
