We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.

If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.

Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven't even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don't have time when I'm working to figure these things out.

Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!

The issue is the 4/20 (blaze it).

It also seems fake.

My mother certainly told me it was necessary as a child, but I think it was more in the "upholding the social contract" and "not being a lazy arse" sense of the word.

I'm living with my grandmother in law and she's just very fussy. Sometimes we think, I'd rather just pay rent somewhere, but we love her and she's unwell and we're saving money so we're all looking after each other for now and trying not to sweat the small stuff like hanging a television when we don't really need to.

I honestly haven't even asked, but I know what the answer will be - can't even leave the toaster that I use daily on the bench, has to go away once cooled. Getting to leave my coffee machine out was a bloody battle.

Her house, we live here for free and just pay our share of utilities and do our own groceries, and I help her if she is having a bad health day etc. It's fine. It's (mostly) worth the frustration.

I'm more annoyed with the limitations that renters experience in general - it's the landlord's property, but it's the renter's home, and sometimes it feels like we're never really allowed to make any place our own, what with all the rules and regulations and punishments.

ETA: "won't have a bar of.. ", ie she won't accept that sort of thing.

I'd actually love to wall mount but as a renter, not possible.

Currently living with elderly family and she also won't have a bar of a wall mount.

I'm only using Chrome for work because the profile switching & syncing is so much smoother and our company is split into two primary brands - my brain handles it better with an individual browser profile for each.

We're consolidating everything into one next year, meaning I can ditch the second browser!

I've tried setting up a second profile but it was just too much effort to get it working and bring everything across from both, then do the same on my laptop for travel, so I'll just wait for now.

The creator is an awful person and likely to be a future family annihilator. He is truly terrifying.

I got rolled into our floor rug as a kid, we were messing around and I thought it would be funny. It was not and a panic attack was had.

It's also helped me find the names of several books and films that have been rattling around in my mind, some for decades, which actually made me very happy because not remembering that sort of thing drives me a little mad.

I'm stuck on two books that it can't work out - both absolute trash pulp fiction, one that I stopped reading because it was so terrible and the other that was so bad but I actually wouldn't mind reading again.

Oh well, can't have it all.
