I had a frankly awful night. I woke at half past
midnight and then dozed on and off for the rest of the night, not staying
asleep for more than fifteen minutes at a time.
I got up, made toast and watched an episode of “Minimum Wage” then had a look at
the Internet as best I could. Apparently Microsoft was having issues with Copilot,
Word, Excel and all sorts of their products seemingly o a serious go-slow.
Apparently it was some sort of communication issue, which is entirely the
problem with Microsoft stuff, isn’t it. Once I’ve bought something from them,
why do they forever need to keep in touch with it?
I tried to check my emails; it wasn’t happening so I
got ready for work.
I went to my car to find that it is now officially
winter; I had to scrape ice from the windscreen. I drove off to work through
some rather busy roads. As I drove there was no end of talk on the radio about
the state of technology. Apparently the head honcho of Nvidia has been porking
a Chinese spy. Is that the end of the world? What secrets can he tell the
Chinese? All the Chinese have to do is buy any bit of technology, take it home
and take it apart to see how it works?
I got to Sainsburys. I needed a bit of shopping so I
got a trolley. Someone had left their shopping list in it. Whoever it was
clearly likes “triffles”. They also wanted “benifit cerials”… is
that cornflakes on Universal Credit? And surely six tins of rice pudding is a
tad keen, isn’t it?
As I shopped so the shelf fillers were doing their
thing. I can’t help but think that if they management is going to insist on not
filling shelves whilst the place is closed then maybe they might give the staff
some training in dealing with the public. I was rudely barged out of the way (and
given some serious attitude) a couple of times.
I went on to work where I did my thing. It was rather
hard work today; I stayed an hour late to help with our new IT system. I don’t
mind helping out, nd it made for a much easier drive home.
Today was rather dull… the highlight of the day was
someone else’s shopping list…
