Random Irritations

Online e-learning for a couple of jobs I do. If I have to listen to any more videos on GDPR, online security etc etc I might just keel over with the excitement of it all!

How is your training going? I've only got 1 more module to complete tomorrow :)

I finished it today but felt like slitting my throat at one stage!! I've had to do a load for exam invigilating too so mind numbingly dull. The last module is the longest I think!! I've not had my online induction as my manager thought he'd do it after the training. So he sent an invite for midday tomorrow at 4pm today but I'm at the dentist so not sure when that will be completed. I have to say the safety hub thing freaked me out a bit especially the "man down" element :eek::eek:

I got my phone on Tuesday and set it up then had a little play with it. Went out for a walk in the evening and got a call on my own phone, the ARC asking if I was alright as I hadn't responded to a callback :oops: At least I know the system works :LOL:

I'm terrified I'll forget to log out or change it to ok and find the police screeching to a halt outside my house!
 
My Hermes delivered stuff today that they picked up yesterday.
My irritation? I have nothing to moan about with My Hermes.

Last month Hermes delivered an item for me next day.
It was just unfortunate that the delivered it back to me and not to the intended recipient.

Apparently they don't like returns addresses on parcels.
 
Driving to get my vaccine today from my house to Barrhead, every 50 yards there was a black bin bag on the side of the road. It looks like someone has basically fly tipped bags of rubbish in the middle of the night as they've been driving along. I counted 6 by the side of the road. Absolute gits! (I would use stronger words but I'd get a ban). View attachment 35804View attachment 35804
We have council workers that collect litter and rubbish from the roadside and leave the black bags to be uplifted later.
Oops I didn't notice LT's post
 
Being woken up at silly o'clock by two cats that sound like they haven't eaten in months.
So you come downstairs, put fresh food and water down for them, they sniff it and then ignore it.
I swear I'm going to shoot these bloody things......
:eek::eek::eek:
 
I reinstalled windows 10 as part of a system restore on a rubbish wee laptop we have as System and Reserved was taking up almost all of the storage .... it’s only got 30Gb and S&R was taking up something like 26Gb.

After the restore System and Reserved was reduced to about 18Gb which gave room to work. But overnight S&R storage used has jumped up to 22Gb - WHY - and what the hell is all the stuff that needs so much of so little.
 
Jiggle the ignition key while jiggling the shift lever. Might be the mechanism or switch that links the two systems.
Not a solution if it's broken, but might get you home.
