You beat me to it. I was just coming here to post the same thing.
And while we are at it TICTH whoever had the stupid idea to run "a fake CIA hepatitis vaccination campaign" (as mentioned in the article)that has put these health workers at risk and as well as the health and lives of those who need these vaccines.

Also TICTH being overcharged for this phone. I got some extra credit by way of compensation when I went in but have just realized this is probably not the full amount and I can't face going back to the shop for a third time.

Thanks, Kel.
I'm trying to make a mental to-do list for tomorrow to apply for a new DL, to cover getting some cash from newly opened accounts, and changing automatic billing from old, now empty accounts that are about to be debited for regular bills to new full accounts so I won't lose services. And trying to recapture some Christmas spirit so the bad guy doesn't totally win this round.

Fed up now. I've been overcharged for my new phone. I pointed out to the sales assistant when I went back again today that it says that phone credit is included and should not be charged as an extra. He agreed it was misleading but said I was charged the right price because phone credit was extra. We went round in circles for five minutes before I decided to try other sources.
As I've now discovered, the customer service email bounces, the call centre people are very polite but completely out of their depth (sounding as if they have no idea what "email" might be, let alone supply a valid email address) and don't ring back, the Facebook page isn't staffed and that just leaves the Helpers on Twitter who are taking a very long time to get back to anyone.
Shan't be buying another phone from this lot again.

Who knows what will happen next. Maybe someone will decide that Wayne LaPierre is another "bad guy with a gun".
That's a pretty arbitrary description, which leads to the NRA's apparent goal: gun law by private citizens.

My little grandson is staying overnight and just asked me why the floor was shaking. And TICTH our property management company, which has never managed to shut the bastard up for more than a few days at a time. And now that their office is closed for the Christmas break, we can look forward to several days and nights of this.
The only consolation is that the fuckmuppet in question will be stone deaf by the time he's 30, if he should live so long.

Dementia.
My wife cried when her mum - 86 -, who has dementia, ate the party food my wife had put in her mums fridge.
My wife thinks her mum will be normal again if she treats her as normal. She won't. She's gone and my wife is only hurting herself, her mum, me and the kids by pretending her mum will be normal again.
my wife is on the edge. Do I kill her mum before she kills the mother of my children, my wife?
one quick shove on a frosty night when I'm taking her mother home and job done.
But I would have the rest of my life to live with the guilt. But if my wife does something silly what about that guilt? Hobson's Choice really.

It's Christmas. It's the time when many of our neighbours are drawn to join us. Fantastic. So I labour to produce a special service booklet, laid out nicely with graphics 'n all. And I foolishly delegate the printing to someone else. . . . . Then the organist prompts me to take an advance look. Every side of every page is printed crooked. Not just an odd one. Someone watched 160 copies of 6 sides come off the copier crooked. Someone hand-collated 160 copies. Crooked. And no-one said a word No one suggested a re-print while there was still time. So amateurish. So disappointing.

TICTH public toilets that are supposed to flush automatically, and don't. Last year just about all the toilets in the ladies' room at Washington's Union Station were in this state. The smell was horrendous.
Today, about a fourth of them didn't work. Things have gone from very nausea-making to queasy-making. A few public toilets are equipped with buttons you can press if the automatic function doesn't work. I wish they all were.

This just makes me so angry. What right do these men think they have to treat someone like that - just because she's a woman? She was nothing more to them than a means to an end, someone who was probably "just asking for it", just because she got a bus home with a female friend after an evening out at the cinema.
Why this pack mentality?

I will share with you in consigning the linked misuse of the term "died peacefully" to hell, and the fact that the police have responded in coordinated repressive fashion to protests over the rapes, in stark contrast to their totally ineffective responses to the rapes themselves.
