Random Irritations

I don't print out much these days - and when I do I use our printer in our garden studio - and that is on a wi-fi network local to the studio connected to the router in the house through TP-link.

And it seems that whenever I go to the studio to use the printer I cannot connect to it and have to faff about trying various things to connect to it - with the one thing that seems to work being me to remove the printer from my devices...look for it again and reconnect. At the same time switching the printer off and on. Just an irritation.

I have never had a printer on a network at home that works properly.
 
Receive an email for a shop sale.

Me: Those trainers are nice.

Shop: We have them in men's size 3 and 3.5

Me: OK what about these

Shop: We have them in a size 4.

Me: OK last try, what about those

Shop: Only a size 3 in them.

I do not know anyone who wears shoes of that size but for those who do, they must clear up at sale time as there are some serious bargains to be had.
There is no such thing as 'mens' and 'size 3' surely?? :ROFLMAO:
 
When your buddy went into hospital 5 days ago for a broncoscopy only to be admitted into an isolation room off ICU because he’s too ill to be scoped. Rescheduled for today but still too ill to be scoped, rescheduled for Wednesday.

Weight now 7st 7lbs, and 6’ 2”… concerned, worried and jumpy every time I see his dad’s number on my phone, which is every morning.

Beyond irritated.

Tomorrow’s procedure cancelled. Brief procedure scheduled for Friday. Weight now down to 6st 9lbs…. :oops: :cry:

Well past beyond irritated.

Our printer is an ancient HP LaserJet 4000 with a Jetdirect board connected on the network by ethernet.
It must be about 25 years old now, built like a tank and never misses a beat.
Toner cartridges are fairly inexpensive, too.

I did have to replace the paper pickup rollers a few years ago. But at least you can actually get spare parts for it. They don't make 'em like they used to.

Wired I have no problems with in the past…it’s wireless that seems to lead to things being screwed up. Yes I could get an Ethernet cable long enough to connect laptop to printer…but that’s not the point of the irritation.

Get a smart plug.

Create a routine to turn off it wait 10 secs and turn back on.

Schedule it to run once a day or create a Command on your smart speaker of choice to Reset the Printer.

Restart of the printer forces it to rejoin the Wi-Fi network and resolved our connectivity issues.
 
Woken up with a sore throat AGAIN. I know people say you get ill more after you have kids but this'll be three colds in two months I think. Ridiculous! Where is my immune system at??

Not sure I understand all of your words, but at first reading I understand enough to think about working out the rest and giving it a go. I have no idea at all what ‘Create a routine’ means in this context and how I’d do it, but I understood and especially liked the words at the end…’and resolved our connectivity issues’. 👍

Multi vits, more fruit than you would usually eat, and accept this is the way of it for a while 🤷‍♀️ . It isn't like this forever.
 
Muppets at the end of our road dangerously parking on the corner of a junction so you can't pull out safely.
People parking in general in the town I live has blew my mind. Infact it’s one of the top if not the top contributory factor of us moving.
I grew up on a terraced street so have always parked considerately if parking on the road. It’s a shame to move but it bugs me massively. I can’t live near people who can’t park properly. Several neighbours I give the cold shoulder to because I judge on their parking.

A routine just chains commands together. I defined mine in Alexa as IMG_0821.png

We get this almost every day. Not only parking at a junction on a blind they do it on both sides of said junction.

Despite a serving police officer living in the street (who has seen this happen several times), it seems that I am the only one that will say anything to these idiots. Initially politely but as the days pass that politeness wears very thin.
