That one and slightly husky Covidgirl ad.

Oh god..I hate her!! It's like someone said oh you've a nice dulcet tone to your voice and she dialled it up to 11 with the faux huskiness.
If I smash my speakers in frustration she owes me a new one!

The way she pronounces "or" as "oaaar".

Realised late last night that there had actually been some bigger issue with Android phones yesterday which was causing random apps to crash. A small update fixed the problem. So I lost my progress on the game for nothing.

Wait, is that why my Spotify kept closing on me out of nowhere after 5 minutes? My last couple of hours in work last night were completely fcking ruined by this!

When life has taught me in situations like these, the powers that be are just running down the clock, to avoid breaking the law and their lackeys tell me to keep my spirits up*!

Awake half the night worrying about deadlines and not having a scoobies of how to tackle a new project,
still like this am, but can't find the motivation to start today's work.

Maybe? There was some issue with a google update yesterday that apparently was causing a load of problems with random apps for people. I couldn't open Viber, outlook, my HP game and maybe others I hadn't noticed. I had to go to the play store and update the google chrome app and it fixed it.

New Home

I've been having awful problems with Android and various Google apps a few weeks ago. It autoinstalled an update (some version of Android 10 despite my settings which said not to install anything) that completely fecked up my settings and corrupted my memory card. Now I can't disable stuff and it's doing my head in - how is it a "privacy improvement" to have the pre-installed calendar (which I can't remove) have access to my phone, be able to make phone calls and connect to the web without my knowing and have access to body sensors a "privacy improvement"? Why would the calendar need access to body sensors anyway? No thank you, I do NOT want to set a fingerprint control. The worst part is that these options are now greyed out and I can't disable them. If I try to disable/block the app (like the one for feedback, for instance - which, by the way, has some T&Cs attached to it, so if I want to open it to see what it is I have to agree to said T&C without being able to see what they are), it goes "dormant" for, like, 30 seconds, then reset itself. Ditto with various Google apps linked to the last update.

It even changed my access point name settings, so I wasn't able to connect to the internet until I realised what had happened.

The corruption of the MicroSD card is the really the pits, I used it as a backup and it had lots of very important, irreplaceable medical files and photos. I'm now scouring the internet trying to find a way to retrieve them. Apparently it's a known bug, the update looks for your SIM in slot A, and if it's not there it messes up whatever IS in slot A. What's worse, the next upgrade to Android 11 is likely going to brick my phone (also a known bug).

To say that I'm fuming would be an understatement.

Just saw an ad for a chicken place called "Tenderhooks". I know it's a play on the fact they sell tenders but it still annoyed me because so many people say/spell tenterhooks wrong in the first place.

Take a bow, sir.

I am TA by that new radio ad for some brand of crackers (I can't remember the name) - yer wan has the most annoying, singsongy voice; "the sharers, the not-so-sharers...." arghhh!!!


AND:

Lana del Ray and her new album
I don't like HER name OR the name of her album 'chemtrails over the country club' or something - really, really irritating me for some reason. I don't know if I've ever heard her singing, or talking in an interview, but I've taken a serious dislike to her on the basis of her name.

Is “ahsma” any better? I’d be in that camp. The ‘th’ sound gets lost in the mix.

Pre-wash. Anti-bac liquid. Washing powder. Fabric softener. Scent booster. Ironing water.

What the fork is that all about. A box of Daz or Bold was all that was ever needed. And nowadays for the result and at a fraction of the price, Aldi own-brand does everything I want to my clothes bar fold and put them away.

I don't pronounce Ts either so I'm in that camp too.

Whatever about the rest, I’m a big fan of the scent booster.

Caught with customs on chef knives I need. Basically I paid three times the price for a Huusk knife. Then had to provide proof why I needed it. Won't be ordering from the UK anymore.

OH keeps talking to me and sniffing instead of just using a tissue! I don't even care about manners anymore I've just told him you're annoying the hell out of me and I can't focus on what you're saying until you go and use a fúcking tissue.

It's Lana Del Rey - she's a good singer, Born To Die is a fine album.

Her ‘Norman ****ing Rockwell’ one is very good.

I love her, saw her at The Marquee one night.

I sent my sister a picture of my hair last night which is my natural colour, a dark brown, to ask her did she see any grey.
She goes, oh I can't see the grey but you are definitely going bald. Like WTF? I have so much hair I need it cut.

Talk about kicking someone when they are down.

You need to be Muhammad Ali:

"Last night, I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch and was in the bed before the room was dark."

Or get a smart light.

Or a long stick.

Smart Light or better a smart plug, Can hook up a lamp with manual switch and just tell it to turn off without getting out of the bed, cheaper than a bulb that needs replacing
