    School is back again, so I chose the later 9AM-12PM slot for today.

    Of course I just received notification that my delivery is currently estimated to arrive between 11:35AM-12:35PM :rolleyes:

    I bought a screen protector for my new mobile phone but when I stuck it on, the bubbles drove me nuts. This screen protector was sent to me from somewhere like Hong Kong in a padded packet.....
    This was the second screen/phone protector I attempted to buy for this phone via ebay, the first one did not actually fit my phone.....

    If you were in Canberra you certainly wouldn't worry about a hotel not having a pool.

    Which is the problem? :confused:

    1. That you are back in Sydney? or
    2. That there's no pool?
    I would be sending a narky note to the travel organiser that they should have picked somewhere better, like Cardrona, Treble Cone or Thredbo. I hear that there are pools there.

    I needed to link my Telstra mobile phone bill to my email so that I could view accounts online. For some reason, this didn't happen properly when I bought the phone.

    Sequence of events:
    . Used 24x7 chat.
    - First, they verified my email address by sending me a code in an email.
    - They did something and told me to log onto the Telstra password change page.
    - I followed instructions and was told to wait for the email. I didn't receive the email; it wasn't in Trash or Spam
    - They told me to try it on a different browser. Still no email
    - They referred me to tech support.

    Tech Support
    - waited 20 minutes
    - Talked to one person. At one point she was telling me a term I couldn't understand. She kept repeating the same term, I still couldn't understand, she hung up on me
    - Talked to another person, who told me it wasn't their department, and that I should talk to 24x7 chat

    So I went to the Telstra shop, and it was all fixed in 5 minutes.

    In the meantime, I received the missing emails about 12 hours later.

    I love technology.

    There's something ironic about getting five emails in one day from different branches of the same real estate agent franchise, all saying, "at xxx we pride ourselves on providing personalised real estate advice".

    I didn't need to get up at 6am this morning, it was someone else's turn to put the stars away, fluff up the clouds & bring out the Sun. :D

    I recently noticed that I require glasses when 1 3 CABS changed its logo.

    It looked like it spelled Boobs. :eek:

    I've been snacking on so many carrot sticks lately I'm concerned I might wake up orange. On a positive note, carrots are cheaper than fake tan.

    I'm having to use an old Samsung S4 phone while work procures me a new iPhone (moved interstate to new role).
    Were phones really that slow back then or does every update ensure the phone gets slower. Surely I haven't become that needy with device processing speeds.

    After deciding to replace some furniture whether to buy through a local shop and get immediately or purchase online and wait a week or so.

    Online won but not explicitly for the reason, i.e. lesser price, some may think.

    The local was advertising the item as a replica made of veneers whereas the online is an original of all solid woods. Plus, even when delivery was factored in, it was a few hundred dollars less expensive.

    Strange world.

    The proof will be when you inspect it on arrival.
