I've said that for years, I do believe someone out there has a voodoo doll of me and sticks a needle in it every so often. I wish they would just use one needle at a time.

I'm getting to that age when I can't find my glasses without my glasses.

What's worse is when you spend several minutes looking for them, only to find you are holding them in your hand. Don't ask me why I know this.

Being f***ed about all day since 07.00 hrs !!
Had little sleep after going to bed at around 22.45 hrs last night, and what sleep I did get was broken. Finally nodded off properly at around 05.00 hrs, then woken at 07.00 hrs by my bleeping 'phone !!.
Got a text message giving me a delivery time slot for my meds.
They were delivered last Friday !
So, being awake, I got up, as I knew other deliveries were due today, with only one by Royal Mail having a definite delivery slot, with two others yet to have a time slot confirmed, even though they were already 1 to 2 days late, and could be anytime after 07.30 hrs.
Royal Mail was due between 11.00 hrs and 14.00 hrs, and I knew they're always on time, usually between 11.00 and 11.30 hrs, and sure enough, the "Postie" called at 11.20 hrs.
An Amazon delivery was notified, by email, as arriving between 12.30 and 14.30 hrs, later amended to 15.00 to 17.00 hrs due to a traffic accident causing delays.
Fair enough, I was kept Informed, and the package arrived at 15.00 hrs, with the driver apologising for the delay.
The final delivery was an Ebay purchase, despatched by the seller on Friday last week, collected by the courier (Evri, was Hermes) on Saturday, and delivery estimate Tuesday to Wednesday this week.
Finally got tracking up-date stating delivery would be today, between 13.45 and 15.45, then moved to 15.45 to 17.45, then again to 18.55 to 20.00 hrs.
By chance, I saw the delivery vehicle arrive outside at 19.50 hrs and, by the time I got to the door, around 15 seconds, the driver had knocked (only just audible), and left the package on the doorstep (on a public footpath) and whilst talking to a friend on his cell 'phone, was about to climb back into his vehicle - until he heard me tell him to pick up the parcel and hand it to me.
Had I not been on the alert, I probably wouldn't have been aware of the delivery, and the parcel could have been taken by any passer by.
This is the third time within the last eight days or so that Evri have b*ggered up a delivery, with sloppy, insecure, late deliveries, by "don't give a f*** drivers, and abysmal tracking info.
When they were "Hermes" in the UK, they were extremely efficient, reliable and accurate with timings, now they're a waste of rations .
So, a totally wasted day, trapped in the house, not able to go anywhere or do anything ( not even a "download") in case a delivery was missed (or stolen!), and stuck from 007.00 hrs until 19.50 hrs.
And then, just to really piss me off, the late Ebay delivery was for a rifle bag for my Co2 M4A1.
I ordered a "medium" size bag (37 inch/94cms long), the type with a compartment for the rifle, and other compartments, /pockets etc for mags, cleaning kit etc etc., in order to be compact, easy to handle, and not too conspicuous (especially being plain, black waterproof nylon material).
I received the "large" version - same design, but 45 inches/114 cms !!
It could carry a Browning .50 cal !!
OK, slight exaggeration, but you get my drift. Bollocks though, it'll have to do, as I'm fed up chasing other people's mistakes.
WTF has happened to doing things right, first time ?
It's a world of "I don't give a sh*t, as long as I get paid" - put these useless, spineless, whinging, lazy, entitled arseholes through "P Company" to wake them up, for f**k's sake !!!
Aaand breath ..... Ah, that's better !!

Just finished the hardest assignment I have ever had to do in some time. Forced to do it because we have the virtual meeting tomorrow at 9 am.

I have a pinched nerve in my neck that has kept me from sleeping the last three nights. Standing isn't bad. Sitting and driving are very uncomfortable, but lying down is a hell like no other.

Bugga - I feel for you.
It is time to see your Chinese sports doctor or other sports medicine expert from the sound of it.

I tried chiro, and that helped a little, but after a few visits I was afraid they were going to break a vertabra. My doc gave me a muscle relaxer, but that just made me feel tired. Now they gave me a course of prednisone.

I know all about that !
Had the same since early February, and apart from the pain and stiffness, it's causing numbness in my right hand and fingers, and right foot.
Can't write, can only use one finger to typ, and no feeling in my right hand.

For the couple of weeks I am having a #$%^& load of problems with my ISP with pages not opening and mail not arriving and being blocked for reasons like these below. I do not want to change ISPs as they were great for the last 14 years and just turned bad.
Plus if I changed ISP I would still need to keep skymesh for a couple of months until everyone knew my new email.

Prednisone works wonders, but it always made me tense, irritable, and very low on patience, aka Roid rage!

No problem there. I already have those symptoms.

Three days in and no noticeable improvement. I suppose the next step is a cortisone injection.
I talked to my sister today. Apparently, we are genetically predisposed to neck issues due to abnormally large vertabrea in our necks.

Air compressor died last week so off to PG to get a new one. Got my compressor home, had it all hooked up and ready to plug in when I notice something had melted the cord. No wires exposed but not taking chances. 400kms and a ⅓ of a tank of gas burned for no reason. Back to PG in a day or so
