@matigo Because it got severely damaged when I shipped it from HK. I'm sure it actually still has some real value, but the time it takes to look for someone to give me that money is more than the amount I'll probably get.
Apple's recycling program form was designed by idiots. We've established that my iMac is worth nothing, so why the fuck do they need my bank account number to complete the form and get them to send a damn box to me?
@matigo Probably happens all over Europe. But this is the first time I've seen a doctor's office on the first floor with no lift. Would've thought they'd prioritise accessibility.
Also makes me question how easily sanitised wooden floors can be. The kind that's made of thin planks with gaps everywhere.
Quite appalling: these doctors have set up office in an apartment building which, like all others, has an access code. That wasn't provided when I made the appointment, so I had to wait 3 minutes on the phone for some idiot secretary to answer. It appears I'm late for my appointment now, but who knows? No reception here — just a waiting room and a load of closed doors.
This is the first and hopefully the last time I'll ever have to deal with this ridiculous lack of organisation.
@streakmachine Pretty sure that's the only place I've actually seen that name — on VHS tapes.
That brings back some awesome memories.
Took 2 paracetamol tablets in the morning and 1 ibuprofen gel capsule at about 5pm and now I feel completely fine.
Still made an appointment with a nearby doctor for tomorrow morning. Probably unnecessary, but I haven't had any sort of checkup in years, and what with all this random pain…
"Imagine having fought the Nazis in WW2, contributed to British society, and then having some 17 yo gimp saying you're too old to vote"
How many 95+ year old people are there in the UK, exactly?
Predictably, none of the Facebook comments asked that question.
This is bizarre. I seem to have lost my French bank card. Used it this morning at the pharmacy and haven't thought about it since, but I just checked there and they haven't got it.
So…did I drop it?
Seems unlikely, but the state I was in this morning, anything is possible.
Anyway, it's cancelled now. Just need to go and ask for a new one…tomorrow morning, because the central CS office is absolutely useless for anything but cancelling it.
@hazardwarning Best way to avoid stress is to just not care — if only temporarily. The advantage of working from home, surely, is that you have a piano close by…
