Today I finally got the time to go through my mail for the last couple days. I turn 55 in a couple months and amoungst other things I got solicitations from AAPR, Forest Lawn( the biggest cemetery around here for those unfamiliar), and Eds hearing aid emporium..................now I feel old.
 
Phoned the Doctor's surgery, just to request a blood test form for my regular monitoring check.
Got a recorded message offering four options (press 1, 2 etc), none of which were relevant, but eventually, after around 4 minutes of trying, including hanging up and re-dialing, I got another message "All our advisors are busy, you are 7th in the que".
Waited 22 minutes, until I was eventually 1st in the que. Another four minutes, and then the irritating recorded music stopped, and the 'phone went dead !
Re-dialed, got the same "Press 1 etc" after a further 3 minutes, and then I was 9th in the que !!!
Why can't people communicate efficiently these days, for ****'s sake?!!
Now I'll have to travel into town, to the Doctor's surgery, and wait in another que, to request the form, and then go again tomorrow to collect the b l**dy thing !!!
 
MICROSOFT!

I bought a new Dell Win 10 laptop almost a year ago.

I hate laptop keyboards so I only use it as a quick way and portable way to check the Internet.

But Microsoft says I have to install a new version of Win 10. It requires 32 GB.

The laptop only has 25 GB; came that way.

So I am about to have yet another unusable computer thanks to the utter and complete IDIIOTS at MS!

By the way, they predict that future updates to Win 10 will require 64 GB.
 
It is confused RAM with HDD methinks. The Win 10 requires ( depending on the version ) 16GB to 20GB (pratcally , a little bit more ) of free hard disk space at least. The RAM should be 1 GB or 2 GB . But the more of free HDD space and RAM the better.

But it is true if the MickySoft would throw all that unnecessary bells and whistles from the OS , even the 32kB would be enough to install.
 


Well go this way then ... The leading operating system for PCs, IoT devices, servers and the cloud | Ubuntu
 
What laptop has only 25GB? The one I bought, new, delivered, for $127. Entirely adequate for what I want to do with it - if only MS would stop 'effing things up.

And no, they mean 32GB for the new upgraded Win 10, and eventually will require 64 GB for the later Win 10.

Windows 95 required 40MB. NOTE: That is MEGA not GIGA.
 
Just got done watching the American music awards. Well the first hour anyway.
Most of the " music" brought to mind an old saying my grandfather used to use " all hat, no cattle".
Alot of costumes and dancing around but no discernable melodies.
There were a few exceptions but they were..... well .............the exceptions.
 
Installed a bed cover on my new Tecoma today( because Toyota wants 1500 bucks for the factory one). In the discription online it said aproxamitly 20 minutes installation time........ha, ha, ha.
For starters the instructions were obviously written by someone to whom English is a second language( not that there's anything wrong with that but when writing instructions for an English speaking clientele youd think the could spring for someone who speaks it fluently to write them). They were ridled with wrong word usage like " on the other hand" instead of " on the other side". Also there were entire assembly steps not pictured or mentioned and in some of what was the parts pictured were in some cases slightly different and in one case verry different from what was in the box. Anyway, after 3 hrs of headache inducing trial and error that left me wanting to pull out whats left of my own hair I finally got the thing installed..............20 minutes my ass
 
Four and a half months on, and I still am not into my house.
Because of the recent fires, contractors are in short supply and booked about a half year out.
Now winter is setting in and my shop (where I've been living all this time) has no heat...which is typical.

What a freakin disaster this has turned out to be...
 
Man, seems like you just can't catch a break with that. At least there's light at the end of the tunnel. You've got a place and at some point you'll get it squared away.
Might want to get one of those portable heaters in the meantime. We've got one for the band studio. Its electric but heats by a half dozen radiating fins. Looks like one of those old heaters you used to see in the old movies from the 40s 50s etc.
Anyway, hope everything works out as soon as posible.
 
Thanks, but can't do a radiant heater - my three cats are sharing the office with me (the shop was originally built for a Log Truck) and the office is 8x10.

They'd run the risk of catching fire (Momma is short hair but her two boys are long haired)
