First world problems 2018!!

Was in a shop yesterday buying stuff, and an older gentleman came in to do the same...the product he wanted was not available in that shop, and the Staff member directed him to another shop which was perhaps a 4 min drive away....the old bloke cracked the sads and whined that it was too far to drive....

 

My beer fridge is broken.

There's none left so I have to call someone to refill it.

Thank (insert deity here) for Uber drinks.

 

Is this a future business opportunity for "Scott Brings" with a 50% discount for PChat members?

2012 Grange anybody?

 

The ABC must be paying actors way too much. Saw a Roller yesterday - rego 'B1'.

 

I’ll get in on this one. The zip tap in my office that provides unlimited fresh, chilled drinking water takes too long to fill my glass. Life is so unfair sometimes

 

There's only 1 sink and 1 zip tap in my office. My old workplace had 2.

 

Or low water pressure.

 

@Gockie maybe you need to go back to your old workplace, remove the 2nd one (maybe they wont miss it...), and install it in your office and see if it works better.

If not @Scott No Mates and @Simon Hampel may be in to something...

 

Yeah... and to top it off.... the old workplace had 2 dishwashers (on every floor!). This one only has 1.

 

I am very pleased to live in a country that has electricity. I am delighted that in December last year we signed up to get solar panels, which were installed in the middle of January. Last week the electricians actually came to our house to change over the meters so we can get billed properly.

On Friday afternoon our lights stopped working but so far my house hasn't burned down (tick). The really local electrician, who did not install anything and could not possibly have damaged anything last week, will get here "some time" to check the lights and repair them, but that isnt what I'm whinging about.

The last part of the process was to call a Melbourne phone number during Daylight saving business hours (it didn't happen last week) to get Energy Australia to change my old Hot Water tariff from night time and onto day time. I have just sat through three different call centres, for 90 minutes, to be told that they cant do it, I have to get the electrician who was here last week to send them "the paperwork". I have written notes on two separate pages of Energy Australia paperwork here from calls to them in January and again in February saying that I have to phone them after the old meter was removed.

I was hoping to have an alcohol-free day today, but that isn't looking too good now.

 

Watching the womens lawn bowls at Broadbeach (Con'em well Games) - the players aren't wearing whites, are wearing shorts and don't have a pot/pony/schooner of Goldie when they finish each end.

It's just not lawn bowls.

 

People in line at ice cream shops wanting to taste every single flavour before they make a choice. meanwhile the line behind them is building up.
Just chose a f%#@king flavour. If it tastes like crap, bad luck, you made a mistake...move on and don't order it again.
And just to be controversial, the main perpetrators (in my observations) are millennials with entitlement attitudes. They wouldn't have lasted past recess at my school when I was growing up.

 

If it comes down to cutting the neighbour's grass, our in house expert resides in the Druitt.

 

He's been awfully quiet of late. Must be back at the Bay or at the high security housing Comm facilities at Silverwater.
