Other What's ruining your life right now?

You've got to defrost your fridge-freezer before eating it.

 

You need to upgrade your teeth. I suggest tungsten carbide implants.

 

Seems like there is a story behind these two events. Do tell.

 

Dread to think what damage the fish did.

 

That’s it I quit... to hell with the lot of ye!

See what happens when you misbehave? The other boys want to copy...

 

They've reduced Stella to 4.6% and it just doesn't "cut" like it used to

 

Stellaaaaaaaaaaa

 

I used to like Stella, when I was in my twenties, decades ago...

 

The heat... peaked at 39deg today.. bit warm to be fixing a fence!

 

Boss has come up with a 'brilliant' idea.
Lets integrate google maps into some of our qlikview documents. He found a video on youtube from about 8 years ago showing how its done, extra help is available on a website that no longer exists.
As he doesn't know how to script in qlikview and I'm the most experienced on the team it falls to me.
Now, not to toot my own horn, I have done some fairly out there things on qlikview. This however is witchcraft.
Doesn't help that our data contains BNG map references that are not really liked by many mapping tools.

 

I did mine in doing a Planck. Constant pain.

Edit: Seriously, I did though - took over a year of streching to improve it.

 

Yeah I mainly just used the 'brufen and stubborness. I convinced myself I needed the pain so I could gauge how much I could push the streching each day.

I feel your pain though G, it can be horrendous at times, especially if you happen to knock your arm accidentally - even the slightest tap could get me squealing like a trapped squirrel.

 

Ooof, I know that one. You have to walk around like you're made of fine china.

I don't think the lockdown has been helping, I've started stretching again as i've been starting to fell mine again a little bit. The most helpful stretch I found was slowly finger walking my hand up the wall while moving my body towards it - in the beginning I couldn't get it very far at all but bit by it improved until I was flush against the wall and my arm raised. Alot of the vids online have them facing straight on to the wall but I found side on pretty beneficial.

Also what I found quite effective was just bending over at right angles and letting my arms hang loose and trying to relax them hanging by their own weight. I found that oddly helpful but each person is different.

But, yeah, you can't force any stretching too much.

 

@Gareth Halfacree, I literally feel your pain too.

I'm on week 2 of Naproxen for my shoulder (You're getting Omeprazole too I hope...) having wrecked it last summer digging and back filing a 30m trench for the garden office electrics.
I over did it for someone who doesn't do much physical stuff, and didn't stop when it hurt...

Been at the physio since Nov, (disturbed sleep drove me to seek help), and making progress until the Christmas break. Went out to the garden office late one evening and slipped on the icy decking and jarred my shoulder something rotten. Curled up on the sofa in there in tears before shuffling back to the house. That put me back 2-3 weeks I'd say.
I've been told to use the shoulder GENTLY, to avoid it going frozen. No reaching, no lifting at a distance, and exercise a few times a day. Also doing neck and back stretches to keep the whole area workable.

I really find walking up 5-6 times a night disturbing, and then fighting to get less uncomfortable to try to go back to sleep for a bit.

The worst thing about it, even more than the sleep is the fact I haven't been kayaking for nearly 4 months. It's great exercise, fresh air, safe away from loads of people and good for my wellbeing.
Started looking at eye wateringly expensive pedal kayaks yesterday, but they're unaffordable.

The main exercise I'm doing and have been told to do multiple times daily is similar to what you're saying; bend at the waist and with your arm hanging vertically 'draw' as big a circle as you can with your hand 10 times.
