Morning all. It’s haircut day! I can finally stop looking like a retired 1980s footballer.
Might do a bit of light record shopping while I’m out as well.
Also managed to book my jabs, which has made me surprisingly emotional.

Feel like the stupidest person in the world. I can’t move into my flat until broadband is set up but my letting agents aren’t 100% sure whether the flat is set up for fibre optic connection and they told me to check Openreach (there is an Openreach socket in the flat) but it just says what you could have at that address rather than what’s already set up. But there’s nothing that helps me on the BT website?? Why do I always end up asking questions that everyone else seems to innately know?

That and the fact they only offer 24 month contracts is so stressful. I only want 12 months because idk how long I’ll live here depending on if the rent is increased! Fucking hate shit like this, it’s so confusing and stressful :frowning: I honestly think I’ll just order a package and hope for the best :grimacing:

These things are always shit, I had a whole day of this sort of thing yesterday, navigating menus that don’t contain the options you need, asking questions that would be easy to answer if the computer system on their end didn’t hide bits of processes, hold music (I love Gassenhauer but when you’re poor and calling people to negotiate stuff being made to feel like youre in True Romance adds a weird extra layer of sadness) - you’ll get there in the end, stay strong!

Still got a residual hangover from Sunday which is irksome for several reasons.

Got a few small gaps between meetings in which to prepare some slides for a presentation at 9am tomorrow, so obviously I’m using that time to post on an internet music forum.

I was gonna order it anyway but

  • despite specifically selecting that I did not want a landline, they kept asking me if I pay for a landline. When I said no, they said… We’ll give you a landline! Bitch what!!
  • having pressed through that nonsense the order overlay covered the form I needed to fill in, so I had to stop doing it on my phone and use my laptop instead
  • having pressed through THAT nonsense, they then start talking about “my installation”… what the absolute fuck!!! I do not need an installation!! I just need them to send me the fucking box!!! AND the appointments are all in May… I don’t want to wait another month before I can move in wt actual f???

I literally don’t understand. There is an Openreach thing right there, just send me a router for the love of all god and let’s stop this NONSENSE.

We had a nightmare in our last flat and ended up with Vodafone SIM only broadband, and have taken it to our new flat with us too. It’s a SIM card that comes in the post and you buy a little broadcast thingy to put it in from Amazon or whatever (about £30 iirc). Was a lot easier to deal with. I wouldn’t exactly give them a glowing recommendation but we’ve both been WFH on it and it’s been pretty reliable for the vast majority of the time. Something like this might work for you, esp since you take it with you?

A helicopter has just landed outside my flat

Here is a really bad photo

It’s an air ambulance. The paramedics have gone off in a police van. There’s a big patch of grass there so i guess it was the nearest place to land to wherever the incident is.

It’s quite interesting to see all the passers by stop to gawp at it, which is exactly what we did too.

Most tattoo places are open, but they don’t do walk-ins ATM because for obvious reasons they want to keep an eye on how many people are going in and out.
