Other What's ruining your life right now?

I assume you have access to your performance reviews?

 

Good luck. Something is not adding up here so I really hope that you can get this resolved amicably and to your satisfaction.

 

Just found out that my next door neighbour was attacked new years eve, his wife sat on a wall while he tied a shoe, and a group of people came out kicking off he tried to deescliate the situation and 3 guys jumped him and put him in hospital. And the police will do **** all !! If he wants to press charges he can otherwise they washed there hands of it.. its only round the corner from where we live, my mums sooo upset and wants to move as its a street we walk down often!! The world is beyond crap hes such a nice family 1st kind of guy!!

 

Second big heatwave of the summer. Absolutely grim in Sydney right now. At least it's not going to hit 48 like Google reckons the last one did.

 

To add a little balance, our marina was frozen over yesterday.

I reckon somewhere inbetween those two extremes lies a very pleasant place.

 

Just spent two hours walking to work, my boots let water in so my feet are soaked for the only person who can let me in before 12 to ring me to say his parents tried to drive to the air port and he went to meet them and is now stuck. Called my boss who said hunker down be with you later.

So currently frozen feet drenched and no where to.go get warm or new socks and boots

 

Got a text from work saying i didnt need to be in with the weather on friday, so set my alarm for a little later. Boss sent me a whats app, not a call, asking me to ignore it and come in as some switches and routers needed configured to get sent out and no one else was in. So i get in, later than normal, and theres 4 folk who could have done it. Wasnt best amused.

 

"Only" 46C for us at the weekend apparently.
Certainly could have been worse...

Sydney

 

My mate in NSW texted me the other day from his pool when it was 36 degrees. But that was at 9PM.

Stupid hot in that country.

 

Nottingham got hit somewhat variably with the snow. In some places there was almost nothing whilst down the road from there got a good load. Where I live we got about 8" which allowing for a little thaw just before dawn left us with 6-7" and as I had my laptop at home from working at home on Thursday, I took the advice sent to us by the UK H&S manager to not travel unless absolutely needed and worked from home.

Of course my manager lives in an area which was not hit nearly as much, only getting a light dusting to an inch or so. So, naturally he assumes that everywhere was the same and I get to "to be honest through, that's really not that much is it? I made it in..." Woohoo, good for you, have fun. Should be fun when we inevitably have a "catch up" sometime today...

We still had piles of ice and slush last night although a temperature of 9C this morning and a good bit of rain overnight meant that aside from a couple of tiny piles in corners, everything has gone now.

 

Wasnt able to swing an SSD in my recent upgrade as prices had gone up too much.

My SSD evidently took that personally and decided to die.

PC hung and restarted into UEFI... no SSD to be found...

****.

 

Yeah, was more mega ICY than snow for us down here but still just as bad. Even with decent tyres my cars absolute rubbish in meh weather. Road i go down for work which is a residential area had a 5 car pile up and i thought, ive made the wrong choice saying ill come in. I mean it went fine, drove cautiously, but yeah thinking it wasnt worth it, cause could have been something. Gonna start offering No as a service i think.

 

If you need a stop gap i have a couple 256gb and 512gb nvme drives, give me a ping.

 

Everything keeps breaking. Coffee machine broke on Xmas morning. Replaced it and a week later that one is leaking. Then the throttle on my SIM pedals stopped working. Then the washing machine gave up. And finally the tubo on my car stopped turbo-ing.

I'm putting up with the coffee machine for now
I upgraded my SIM pedals and will sell the previous ones onced fully repaired under warranty
I replaced the carbon brushes on the washing machine and it's ok so far
I've bought a boost pressure control valve for the car as it's the most likely culprit - not yet fitted

Can't wait for the next thing!

 

Reseating the SSD seems to have fixed it for now.

 

You have become technodeath, destroyer of gadgets.

 

My short-term memory seems to be getting worse, forgetting so many things recently. It's both frustrating and worrying.

 

My family history dictates I'll go that way. Makes me paranoid that it's already kicking in.
