You hit the nail on the head. S8+. Facial recognition works ok, but it annoys me because it unlocks the phone when all i want to do half the time is check the time.

I have the same problem with my fingerprints being worn down by granite fortunately I don't use one of these phones.

Nah, I'm with .:4:., get a bit sick of phone interruptions at work so ignore them now.
Jobs wise, In person, txt or email is how I like to do business these days.

I used to have a work phone along with my personal phone. I would like to say i could turn the work one off when not at work, but being on call 24/7, whilst it was rare and theres money in it, nobody likes the random 2am call, and the real struggle to put pants on.

I just use carrier pigeons.
They can send and receive messages, photos, small items and they don't rely on technology.

Vet bills...
My dog did herself a mischief last night, this is going to be expensive.. I'm not an expert but I've heard the term 'cruciate ligament' thrown around for sports people and it doesn't sound good...

Confirmed cruciate ligament. She is booked for surgical consult later this week.
I have stopped toying with the idea of updating my car any time soon. I used to have pet insurance but it was one of the expenses that didn’t make it through the home budget cutbacks. Pretty sure the month to month saving over the years will cover this bill. At least I will tell myself that to feel better

This is the annoying thing my mum does. She annoys me. We went for lunch today, that bits fine, but whenever i go to the bar she asks for a half glass of wine. They still charge for a full glass, so a full glass she gets. I always say you dont have to drink the whole thing. But mum would rather drink 6 half glasses and still claim she hasnt had a glass of wine. Thats why i now buy her picolos and get the bar staff to leave the lid. And it turns into a case of you can take the rest home. 3 half glasses later, she never takes the rest home, there is no rest, but still claims to never have had a glass.

Not going to get into the sob story of why i dont have the exhaust on my car, and why its in the boot, well, the non stock one is in the boot. But due to unforseen circumstances i needed to daily my car. It was a driveway ornimant so not having the rear muffler and exhaust section on wasnt an issue at the time. Reason being only due to not being able to get a breaker bar in to attack the seized bolts on the front of the mid section of stock exhaust to fit the one i have for the car. So todays job was a pain in the hole. So i have been driving the thing for months with no rear muffler, it wasnt obnoxious or loud, the center muffler is about the same size as the 315L hot water unit at my house. Anyhow, being rego time, put the stock rear section back on, just going to pay the mechanics to put the new exhaust on, but taking things off is so much easier then putting things back on. And a stock exhaust on a bf sounds like a poofters fart. I only have to live with that for the weekend i suppose, and ive been careful, but scrapped 3 times in 1 trip having a rear muffler on the car. And the hangers are good. I think i just hate cars. Well, putting things back on them atleast.

Anyone who has worked in retail will know that some days it feels like every air head in the universe comes through the door.
Today was one of those days, with customers making simple situations difficult, asking stupid questions, requesting the impossible and despite logical guidance couldn't make up their minds. I don't drink, but days like these, I kinda wish I did.

I really hate when my mum offers my sevices to people. I went for lunch at her boyfriends today. It was supposed to just be lunch. He had asked a while back to borrow my chainsaw for a few things, so i took that with me. The idea was take your time and drop it to mum when your done sort of thing. He is retired so has the time. But mum said i would do it. That wasnt too bad, it was just trimming a stack off a paperbark tree.
Then mum drags out a few flat packs and things then again offers me up to build them. To be fair flat pack stuff is a nightmare if you rely on the crappy spanner thing they come with, and i have my tools in the car. So it was tea and bickies for them, and constructing ill fitting stuff for me. And then there was cutting up a 300mm pvc section of stormwater into 3 for a gardening project. All i had on me was a hacksaw with blades for metal. So it was a great idea this morning to wear a black shirt. Well it was at the time, but i was expecting to spend my time inside, not slaving away in the sun. And there was no shady spot to park my car, so on a 32 degree day, those black leather seats were a real treat to jump back in for the drive home. But atleast my mums boyfriend, my son and i share 1 thing in common. And that is the mutual feeling of embarrassment my mum insites at times. |

If you don’t like phone calls WHY would you put yourself on 24/7 callouts.Seems part of the job in my opinion.

I am so tired of living in a world designed for stupid people.
Have you see the ads, advertising some tablet or something, saying "haven't you always wished your computer was more like a phone?" Yes, just like I have always wished my nose was more like a haemorrhoid. Why the heck would you want your computer to be like a phone? And its like everything now is more intelligent, but designed for morons. So if you try to do a search, anywhere, on google, on ebay, even on SCA, rather than simply searching for what you ask, the system assume you're a complete and total ****wit, and tries to figure out what you really want from random sources. I am trying to buy a battery. Not being a complete and total ****wit, I KNOW the damn model I want, and if they don't have that then I want to look at anything they have in a DIN65. So their system is smart enough to figure out that I'm looking at batteries, but instead of showing me a handful of batteries in that size, it assumes I don't know wtf I'm doing and so shows me everything ****ing battery they sell. Worse yet, it leads off, not with what I asked for, but with small batteries to fit a Pulsar, because at some time in the past I was looking for parts for that car. They have a decent special on some batteries at the moment, but fmd they make it hard. I'm tempted just to back to my local shop.
