I slept for a good eight hours last night – not surprising
really. Night shifts do that to most people. I scoffed a bowl of granola whilst
watching an episode of “Schitts Creek” then sparked up the internet.
A row was kicking off on the work-related Facebook page.
The Prime Minister is blaming NHS laboratories for delays in testing for corona
virus. His criticism is unfounded, the NHS laboratories are providing results
within hours. But historically the medical laboratory has always been someone
to blame. Consider a visit the GP for example. They will take a blood sample
and tell you to come back for the result in a month. The result will be
available the next day but they say to come back in a month because they don’t
have any earlier appointments. But the implication is clearly made that the
delay is because of the laboratory. The Prime Minister is doing the same over
corona virus testing…
As Oliver Hardy one remarked “twas ever thus”.
I checked my emails. The Bricklink site (it’s a Lego
thing) I found for those last two base plates had sent me their invoice.
LinkedIn had suggested that I chum up with someone with whom I had absolutely
nothing at all in common.
I quickly Munzee-ed from the sofa (capturing a
leprechaun and a banshee as one does) then got myself ready for work.
I set off to work on a bright morning up
a rather busy motorway. As I drove the pundits on the radio were talking
rubbish as they usually do. I didn't really take much notice of what they were
saying; it was mostly blah blah blah; pretty much repeating the same old
stuff. We are in a pandemic the likes of which we've not seen for a century.
What does the future hold? No one knows, but everyone speculates.
Mind you the "Thought for the
Day" bit was laughable. Some Rabbi was banging on about how people are
looking out for each other during the pandemic, and because some people are
being nice to each other, this proves that his God exists. The reasoning went along
the lines of God had said for people to be nice to each other - people are
being nice to each other - people are being nice to each other because God said
so - therefore God exists. Usually the Rabbis on the "Thought for the
Day" don't talk such utter claptrap. Personally I prefer to think that
people are being nice to each other because it is the decent thing to do,
rather than for fear of being zapped by a thunderbolt.
As we did our bit at work we
had a chuckle. Someone somewhere is taking advantage of the gullible. There
is a growing concern (amongst those who don't actually know anything about
it) about how dangerous 5G technology is (even though it isn't).
Some chap has been selling anti-5G devices which will protect you from their supposedly
insidious emissions. An electronics engineer took one of these things apart and
found that it is no more than a five-quid USB memory stick with a blue sticker
on it.
Mind you all the time people are paying
over three hundred quid for rubbish, other people are going to sell them
rubbish (for over three hundred quid). If any of my loyal readers would
like to get themselves s a 5GBioShield I can supply them at a bargain
mates-rates price of only two hundred and fifty quid – and I’ll throw in a free
tin-foil helmet too.
I got home and found "er indoors TM"
bathing Treacle and Pogo who had both stomped in stagnant mud on their walk,
and we then joined in the weekly geo-Zoom meeting in which I could hardly hear
a word that was said.
I wonder what’s for dinner…
