the bus schedules were on holiday service, so it took ages to get home. and it was cold and wet.
It’s really ironic that public transit service is reduced on holidays when more people are likely to need it. It’s especially grievous for people that still have to get to work… it speaks a lot to how many city councils treat public transit, as if it wasn’t one of the few things that keeps a city going.
There may be an increase in irregular riders, but the regular ridership is down by a lot. Many people choose to stay home for the holidays or stay in their neighborhoods.
My dentist texted me to say my appointment tomorrow is canceled and I need to call to reschedule.
Took me calling 9 times to get a human. Because if it goes to hold music, it then just shunts you to their ‘ai’ that can “reschedule, make appointments, cancel appointments” but it FUCKING CAN’T
What it does instead is fuck up several times in a row before giving up and sending a note to the desk.
Which doesn’t get seen until like two days later.
So you hang up the second you hear the ‘ai’ assistant talk and call back until someone picks up during the ringing phase.
I’m sure this isn’t making the front desks job miserable, not at all! Blegh.
Birches, man. Loaded up on histamines, still sneezing.
Well that’s because you’re supposed to be taking antihistamines.
Oops.
I’m sorry for not having something to contribute here but major annoyances took up most of the day.
They say it’s important to make time for the little things…
Climate deniers. Way too many bots and real people in this camp. So unsettling and anger inducing.
Waiting in a waiting room and saw a mom, dad, and three children. one was a fresh newborn, and the middle child a toddler, eldest about ten sat down and colored.
This three year old had the phone right in her face with baby shark playing, 45 mins of it. pacifier hanging out her mouth, and sucked into the screen. She cry screamed when mom took the phne from her to use it for a minute.
Littles dont need screens like this, its damaging to their growth,. This was a childrens mental health waiting room, tons of space and things put out for kids specifically.
I just wanted to read my book while I waited for my son. Instead all I could think about was how lazy that parenting is. Why have kids if youre just gonna pop a pacifier in its mouth and shove content in their face. I wanted to congratulate mom on the newborn, fresh babies are wild to see, but she and her husband were sucked into husbands phone too. She called to him at one point too, point blank called to him and said, “hey baby daddy”, which was so wierd.
I tired making bread with caramelized onions on and in it, and left the onion too “wet” so I was fighting with the dough constantly having openings pop up and onion spill out… I apparently didn’t even use enough onion because after I brought it to my brother’s house and cut it open I really couldn’t find much onion in there. Still tasted decent though.
Neighbors parked in front of my house where I usually park.
Wanted to get something from the supermarket. Supermarket was closed due to Easter :(
Yes I know this is really minor
I was in three separate supermarkets at least. Easter here as well, obvs, but most stores are open. I tried looking for easter candies, as I wanted specific choccie eggs, and despite Easter not even being technically over yet, no-one had any.
They come to the stores like 2 months before Easter and the day of Easter they vanish like Jesus from the cave.
Pic related it’s the type of egg I was looking for. They’re solid chocolatenougat in real eggshell. Handmade. Recipe is from like the 1800’s.
Every single time I sat down from doing a chore someone sought my attention. I did not experience a moment of peace. So that, I reckon.
It’s raining and it’s cold
I work from home on Monday and Friday, and we have two elderly dogs that have bladder control issues that sleep in kennels. The unspoken rule is the first one up lets them out, and the last to bed puts them up.
My wife leaves around 7:30, and I assumed she let them out before she left.
I worked from bed until 9, when I discovered that she had not actually let them out.
The stairs jumped out and tripped me, now I have a bruised toe.
Loud kids
Get it?
I had an Object Oriented Programing exam today
School computers which always worked fine, decided to not work for some reason. I changed my seat 5 times until I found one which actually connected to Ethernet.
And even then, due to the professor’s shitty server it took me 15 minutes to log in. It is a residential IP from a shitty internet provider, meaning the server probably resides in his house.
Moodle’s exam timer starts after you login so it wasn’t that much of a problem, but still frustrating as hell.
