So the go live was a disaster. to be fair it worked for the first 10 minutes or so. Its the 11th where we started to run into problems. Turns out when the vendor says "yep no worries". what they REALLY meant to say was "Yep? No. Worries!" We got lionel hutz'ed!
And now the blame game begins, but we cant do much when the vendor straight up lies, can we? I didnt pick the vendor or the product. And I'm MORE than happy to call the Vendor and say "Listen here fuckface, you screwed up BAD how are you going to fix it!?" but I dont think the business want me to do that for some reason.
I went to the supermarket and spent money without feeling guilty for being frivolous and buying fruit.
Felt good.
Anti gratitude!
I cannot feel my toes. Left bread directly under the radiator to rise overnight. It sunk. Fragrant brick for breakfast.
My house is freezing and it hampers my desire to get out of bed.
Lack of insulation in this country is disgusting. Climate change is only going to get worse, and I'm fully expecting that people will die in their homes when it's too hot and too cold.
My buildings OC installed insulated windows in all the apartments, which has caused more condensation because they are airtight, and now it's the occupants responsibility to make sure mold doesn't occur ๐๐๐. But there no insulation in the roof as far as I can tell, so we lose heat through the roof. Either we have the split system on, which is old and inefficient, and lose heat. Or we leave it off and stay cold AS FUCK all day and night. The only saving grace is having oodies.
Hate the way we build in this stupid cuntry
I woke up with a sore neck and a headache, yay.
The thing I'm looking forward to the most is moving into a place that has insulation.
Slept in - for me - until about quarter to seven then was pinned for an hour by the felines.
What a life, as the yiayia would say.
Was up at 3am again today, but forced myself to go back to sleep until 7am.
Going out to see MIL today, so looking forward to seeing her. She's like the mum I wish I had. She always tells the story of when she first met me and knew her son wasn't coming back to Perth lol. Such a treasure of a human, and it's been a year and a half since we've seen her.
Unsure if I want to go to the footy with them tomorrow though, West Coast vs St Kilda iirc. MIL's partner goes for WC, she and my partner go for Freo, of course. Here I am, lil bomber supporter. I suppose, as a Victorian, I ought to go for the Saints.
The last time I went to the footy was back in the mid-late 2000s. My friend and her family were/are Carlton supporters, and it was Essendon vs Carlton. Essendon won that game, was close too iirc, and the drive home was AWKWARD! Took everything in me not to be all in their faces haha.

Go orn, go to the footy, you'll have a great time even if you all barrack for different teams. ๐

Late night run last night to the strange and liminal spaces that is bunnings after dark. Why? Well, you see, his lordship accidentally hooked his spunding valve to the beer line on a pressurised keg ferment and we realised we really, really need all the furniture in the brewery to be on wheels so we can hose that room out if need be....
^but at least it really smells like a brewery now^
Especially if you have a blowout of the broken glass sort!
I swear quick oats sachets tasted way better when I was a kid. Kinda shit now? I'd prefer plain oats
I prefer whole oats to quick for porridge. Ideally with an overnight soak.
Cold and wimdy ๐ฅถ
This might be delulu on my part but hoping to use the wind to dry clothes before the rain really hits at 4 pm.
Think I'll play my old Bob Newhart LPs today. ๐ฟ๐น
Plotting outfit for โBad Tasteโ birthday party tomorrow. Currently all hot pink leopard print and safety vest orange. I do have some orange makeup, but itโs super itchyโฆ
Add feather boa - any colour that doesn't match.
I watched the start of the most absurdly hilarious movie last night. It's called Hundreds of Beavers and the first 30 minutes is basically a Wile E Coyote skit. My god, I was losing it.
I hope the rest of it is just as good.
So question: when you have to rate something that doesn't apply, do you give it a 5 or 3 star? eBay always asks me to rate seller communication, which is almost never relevant. They mark it as posted, and that's generally the extent of the "communication". I have been marking that as 3 stars, but I was thinking, that probably brings down their averages, right? I'd be annoyed if my feedback rate went from 100 to 99.97% because someone thought something was irrelevant.
Seems like a bit of a disconnect between how I issue ratings and how I take ratings into account. All this online review stuff seems to have skewed the bare minimum rating from a 3. i.e I probably wouldn't consider a shop or seller that's only rated 3 stars, even though in my mind, 3 stars means neutral, when it comes to reviews, 3 stars seems bad
This is why I just don't trust star reviews - it's not only just because of fake/paid responses. There's a whole science about this sort of dissonance in perception when it comes to rating reviews etc. It happens to everybody - my personal description for it is questionnaire bias. I've never had a questionnaire or a rating review where my actual opinions and experiences were accurately reflected in the questions/ratings. My advice fwiw is just not to stress over it. Everyone has a different take on what 'excellent' means to them. For some it might be that delivery on the day specified is enough for that rating - some might consider that just normal and 'excellent' might consist of much more than that like good and timely service on a return/refund as well.
I don't bother with ebay or amazon ratings, it's fake
but personal stuff, I choose what I read or watch very carefully so very often it really is excellent
quizzes, I'm older and I have thought through nearly everything so I'm definite on a lot of things, for instance I'm adamant on tolerance
