Thinks Wich Trivilly anoy u.

TA1: I wish this thread would have the word 'annoy' in the title as it's crap trying to search for it without that word.

TA2: Anyway, this call from me to Nightline/Parcel Motel wondering where my parcel was (it was a day later than they had promised it would be, a promise which made me choose them in the first place, and was needed for work):

Low Call 1890321890 00:28:33 €4.00

Yes, I waited for 28 minutes for somebody to answer, and nobody did, and they charged me a full €4 for that pleasure. As that 1890 number was the only one on their website, I had no other way of contacting them (they didn't respond to emails).

How these leeches can not only market these numbers as "lo-call" - when the Ombudsman and all other supposed regulators are also claiming their respective 1890 numbers are "lo-call" you know there's a bigger problem here - but can also refuse to give us the option of ringing them on a normal number and can then charge us for a call that they never answered is really a spectacular failure of regulation in Ireland. The owners of Nightline/Parcel Motel must have a good laugh about this gouging by their 1890 numbers.

I was meant to do some work on my CV, career planning this weekend but I've been so chill and just eating and sleeping and resting. I mightn't have the chance for a while to do this chilling out for a while again so taking advantage (assuaging my guilt) Just don't wanna

Forget the employee-sacking, apartheid-supporting - ha, not a chance! - and decades of ineffably contemptible treatment of staff and suppliers alike (in 2018 they almost make Ryanair look like employer of the year), I've got a new reason for not liking a certain supermarket chain.

When I pay for stuff in Tesco, they round it off either way and that's fine. I thought the same when I was asked to buy stuff in bastard supermarket but no, they managed to give me a full 99 cent of spluttering change back from a large bill. The little things reveal a business culture. I think I'd join the picket line if workers for bastard company finally, like the Ryanair pilots, got off their knees and brought the "We pride ourselves on being charmless sociopathic bastards to everybody" corporate culture to an end. As with the oligarch Tony O'Reilly's final fall from decades of abusing his power, it's long, long overdue for that supermarket family.

Unwrapping Starburst sweets.

Finishing a really good book, starting another book and it's not a patch on the previous one.

Mashed potatoes.
I hate the whole preparation and cooking of them; the peeling, the washing the starch off, the boiling, the water boiling over the edges of the saucepan, then the mashing.

I bought a ricer (which does give really nice mash) which I insist on using but the hassle. Lobbing potatoes into it, squeezing the ricer, discarding the lumpy residue before lobbing more spuds in, mixing the mash with the butter, then the inevitable washing of the STUCK ON mash on the pot afterwards.

Loada sh*te!

Want to go to the library to get a new book but of course it's been closed all weekend and will be tomorrow too. I can't be buying new books, I'm not made of money!

Feckin' hell: this snow - get me out of here! At 6:50am this morning, Sunday, the 3-year-old walked into me in the leaba with her school bag on her shoulder over her culaith oíche. She wanted to go to "school" (montessori).

All morning she has created one imaginary world after another imaginary world full of role playing. I've just finished driving the "car" where I was, under instructions, sitting at the top of the... couch in the, eh, "driver's seat", and she was on the other side of the couch and I was driving her into "school". I was then given instructions on collecting her and driving her back.

Then I had to set the table for no fewer than 6 bears/monkeys/dolls, each of whom was in a seat. Then she had this fantastical world where Mickey Mouse was banned from having a seat because, she alleged, he had pushed one of the others dolls/monkeys/bears off a chair at dinner yesterday. So she put the big Mickey Mouse teddy bear (if a mouse can be a teddy bear!) in what in the days of the Birmingham Six, Nicky Kelly and the Guildford Four we used to call solitary confinement, in this case sitting on his own at the bottom of the stairs out in the hall. And she was very upset with him and asked me to have a word with him. So I went out, feeling perhaps like Gareth Peirce before she met Gerry Conlon, knowing full-well that Mickey Mouse was innocent. My heart went out to him all alone on the stairs. He did fúck all, yet here he was ostracised. Nevertheless, I had to go through all the motions, and come back and tell her that Mickey had great remorse on him for what he had done and wanted to come back. She sighed a big, big sigh and said he could!!! You wouldn't get this in the Abbey Theatre! This is thoroughly exhausting stuff - how do full-time childminders have the temperament to do that job? They better never go on strike!

Time to permanently end snow and bank holidays and get back to work outside the house and at this stage I'd welcome that solitary confinement outside the house!

Started a new project last night. I followed the instructions put the correct number of stitches on to start. Double checked the pattern, counted the stitches again - all was good and away I went.

Well ten balls of wool in and I'm looking at the width of the blanket (it's a bit wide but then again I did follow the pattern) and the number of balls of wool I have left and I'm thinking that I'm not going to have enough wool to finish it.

So back I go to the pattern. 74 stitches is supposed to equal 47 inches not 61 inches!!! FFS I followed the sh1tin pattern but didn't double check against the measured length and adjust my stitches accordingly.

I'm just after ripping back all 10 balls of wool and hours of work and then had to roll it all back up. I am not impressed.....

The ever increasing price of drink in pubs. It's nothing new I know, but it really is getting beyond a joke.
