Building noise. New neighbours' house being built. Constant hammering, grinding, drilling, sawing and the workers who, standing right next to each other, shouting at each other as if they're all deaf, seemingly unable to talk at civilised levels.

YOu are not allowed to respond with WFH

Random WhatsApps from intl numbers. "Good morning, how are you."

"Are you available to take a call" Listen boet, if the phone rings and I don't answer... I'm not available to take a call.

Don't even get me started, my father sometimes answers and says he can't talk right now and gets upset when I ask why he bothered answering the call :ROFL: And then those that call and call and call and call despite me never picking up, followed by a WhatsApp, 'I am trying to call you?' as if you are sitting there staring at your phone waiting for it to summon you.

Add to that borderless windows in Windows.

Hard to tell where a window starts/ends

Whose daft manure-rich idea was it anyway?
Modern UI design is a mess. Too many hipsters, not enough engineers.

Borderless windows make it guessing game where to click if you want to drag or resize something.

And even worse is borderless buttons/dropdown lists/menus. You have to basically click on everything to see what is just text, what is a button, what is a dropdown. MS azure is the big culprit here.

I hate flat designs. Kak. Finish en klaar.

Bring back the feature-rich WorkPlace Shell from OS/2....

All of us have this problem.

Yep, had a bit more the last few weeks besides the 'normal' life stress, especially with our son who in the last two weeks has seen two pediatric doctors, pediatric cardiologist, pediatric neurologist, neuro physiologist, pediatric ENT, pediatric chiropractor and had an ECG, heart ultrasound, 18 hour overnight EEG, MRI, urine toxicity and blood tests.

Wearing new shorts today. Felt like a knobhead. This is why I rather just stick to black.

Strongs, hope the little one gets better.

Colleagues who give up your details for overtime work at 01:00am on a Monday morning, just because your name happens to be on a "roster"

Sounds a bit like my life the last while. How old is he?

Hope you got some answers.

Palace coup in the UK underlining that democracy is entirely imaginary and that the party system and rules no longer apply, that no decisions are actually made by Westminster but by higher powers.

Heavily programmed NPCs did their duty by whining about cake and a measly tax break worth 2bn. The so called health service burns through 2bn in a matter of 2 days. 2bn is a tiny of fraction of what gets sent to that t-shirted cabbage ****er in eastern Europe without our permission.

Imagine destroying your own party and any chance of retaining your massive majority just to please your globalist handlers.

This week our area seem to be in a different load shedding zone.
