Little Things You Hate

Do I have to learn to like Sharepoint? Am I wrong for hating it and just wanting a set of folders on a driver in Explorer...? Using a browser to get into files is just so fucking annoying, and not being able to navigate around folders easily sucks.

Looks like I'm being forced onto sharepoint now, and have to migrate many hundreds of files into it...

Try going from physical servers onsite to sharepoint and then 6mths later google workspace.

Fucking awful.

Sharepoint is better than Google workspace IMO.

Our biggest issue is all our inspection/service/test reports are Microsoft based so when you open them online in gOoGLe the formatting as all up the shit.
 
One of the main things about retirement I look forward to (not that I am likely to do that before I die...) is never having to deal with any microsoft products ever again...

My only exposure to it over the last 20 years has been on work equipment - its not a feature of any personal machines.

Oh, and a basic install on a spare laptop i use once a year or so with OBD reader stuff on it....
 
Cargo knicks.
I wear a jersey and knicks to work because 40 + km. I always put anything i need to carry in the jersey pockets behind as i don't like bulgy side pockets/ don't trust them. Yesterday as i was scouting a new suburb for single track on the way home i put my reading glasses in cargo pocket of shorts...now i have no reading glasses! Even rode back the whole way to where i remember feeling them in the pocket but no glasses to be found.
 
taken 4 visits to the GP to get a referral to a specialist for an issue. great, we can get moving on it now. first appointment is in 3 months. i guess its some sort of progress. would also be nice if I could scan and mail in the referral letter now rather than file it and try to remember to take it with me then

So my parents are getting on a bit, both very late 70's and I take no offence with them asking me to buy stuff online on their behalf. They do get scared of getting scammed and I totally think they'd fall for a scam. But anyway, little thing I hate is when I order something for them online it's like they think it will instantly show-up at their front door, or the post office. They have been up at the post office hassling them even though the tracking says it's a few days away 🫠

Honestly I think the only difference between Qantas & Jetstar (aka. the orange gamble) is white collar criminals vs. blue collar criminals sitting next to you.

I quite like Link Airways for the direct flight Hobart-Canberra. Its an ancient and suspiciously rattly old Saab turboprop (which was pretty entertaining on a super windy last Thursday), but they leave on time and are super generous with snacks and beer.

If anyone starts humblebragging about their Qantas Club membership, it’s really not that special. Pre-COVID, I was on a plane every second day. The free coffee, toasties, and beers are a novelty at first, but it wears off quickly. The best thing I ever saw was this absolute unit in Brisbane, high-vis gear, filthy socks hanging over tiny hotel slippers he’d clearly pinched. My workmate just laughed and said, “Proof anyone can make it!”

I’d have that seatbelt strapped tighter than a Scotsman’s wallet flying over Bass Strait in a SAAB. I’ve had some rough rides on Rex flights through storms!

After a return flight from Canada at Sydney for a few hours until the plane back to Coffs Harbour I had pre booked the QANTAS lounge savvily using QANTAS points. At the check in counter I spoke with the most pompous short haired bitch on earth wearing too tight of a scarf around her neck. She couldn't find the details saying we had a spot in the lounge and made a bit of a scene about it. I showed her the email, asked her to check it properly because I could see she was constantly just hitting the same three keys on the keyboard. She kind of scoffed and said "Well I had to ask because our clients never use points to pay for the exclusivity of the QANTAS Club lounge". I laughed at her, told her not to judge people based on what they choose to spend their money on. She wasn't one to back down and looked over her glasses at me choosing to speak too loudly amongst the high vis overpaid mine guys and the Asians in tracksuits lined up behind me. The helpful woman working next to her said "Karen, can you please stop? I can see the booking on your screen from over here". :D :D :D One of the rude pricks behind me started shuffling his feet implying I should speed this up so I unplugged on the monitor just enough that it went dark while Karen was looking away. That'll fuck 'em.
