First world problems 2021

You're not thinking about the song, with the lyrics:

Then it happened one day, we came 'round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
Was the one little thing that you can

Can't make myself write the title of the song

 

You obviously haven't heard me squawk

 

Yes!!!! That's it. I will owe you forever - brains trust is legend. Obviously I wasn't very good at remembering lyrics - but I got the eyes right

 

It was the natural follow up to ...

 

Shees - this howling east coast wind is making everyone so damn prickly!

 

Australia Post is working heaps of overtime. Received notification goods I ordered many moons ago, and due last Friday week, will be delivered today. It's a Sunday so I hope I'm not at the Church of Coffee service when it's delivered.

One down two more to arrive.

Still trying to get my head around why one lot was collected in Brisbane, processed in Sydney the next day but ends up back in Helensvale, Qld later the same day. The intricacies of logistics.

Edit: Make that two down and one to go. Will they both be put on the same delivery? Probably not.

 

Nah, you pay good money for a logistics programme nowadays. They like to make it seem complicated but it's simple really simple - it comprises a random number generator which assigns a location somewhere in Qld, Vic or Syd which shows on your tracking query. When you make another query, it assigns another number, the parcel doesn't go around the country but sits in the warehouse down the road.

 

Thank Christ you've cleared that up. Appreciated. I would have worried about it all day otherwise.

 

Check your neighbour's veranda, it could be called Smeaton Grange or Truganina.

 

So they're going to go from absolutely hopeless to slightly less hopeless

 

Only will approach if the region is 80% vax rate (aged 12+).

It's a 85mm lens by the way and the neighbour dipped out as it arrived yesterday.

 

For we are ONE and free.

Bring back waltzing matilda.

 

Some of my online stores are now closed & have returned to normal operation mode until further notice. There goes the convenience, having to waste time to go to a shop, associate with people, stand in check out queues & pay tolls rather than having someone pack & arrange home delivery service.

 

Buy from online stores in Melbourne. Ok, the delivery might take a few days to who knows when, but they’ll eventually deliver…

 

I think you meant months....
It's actually quicker to get someone to put the package in a backpack and walk from Mel to Syd.

 

"Who knows when" includes months

 

That won't help, it's a butcher & a fisho.

 

I had a garlic delivery (pre-covid days) visible on tracker, sit in a Sydney postal warehouse for 3 weeks during summer ... needless to say a replacement was sent to the customer.

 

I can normally do at least 1 chin-up.
After an aerial class Tuesday last week (first one after 3.5 months of lockdown) my right bicep was killing me for a week and I couldn’t straighten my right arm until about Sunday. But, even 6 days later, I couldn’t do a chin up. I had another class Tuesday night and I was really struggling. And today, I still don’t have my normal chin up ability. This is not good! I am hoping it improves, and soon…
