IT Bl**dy IT

Sorry wiki friends, this is likely to be a rant about …………well almost everything! Every night around 11:30 / midnight, my internet connection crashes, let’s me back on the crashes again and so the cycle repeats until I get fed up and just power off! I usually also have Facebook open chatting to family in Aus and Dubai. It makes me seem to be so rude when in chat / on messenger! Is it just America waking up and sensitive thing that my PC is, it can’t cope? I delete my browsing history daily, to reduce clutter on the hard drive, but it still has little effect. I no longer add to saved data as H now has to do his own accounts. Or he’s getting someone else to, which is most likely as a printer appeared in the porch, then disappeared on Monday! Yesterday was even worse as I lost my work laptop connection as service providers shifted my laptop and profile to a new location, meaning I had to visit work to connect to the network, to enable a home connection by broadband. And that’s still not right – phone call to them Monday as laptop still thinks I reside at my old location! Added to that H came by to tell me estate agent coming round again – I needed to find him when they arrived. 9:30 came and went. 9:40 he was off in the van – ran out to ask was estate agent still coming? He’d ring and let me know! 5 mins later – estate agent has gone to another appointment! So glad that happened – really couldn’t face sitting across a table with H! So if I hadn’t chased, does that mean I’d still be waiting……….and waiting? Well obviously as he didn’t come home tonight! Oh yes need to say – he coughed up some cash for son: £150 – Give him a round of applause! Son had to make the effort on Monday, pretence of can I have money for this week’s driving lesson? H then had cheek to ask did I know when son was likely to be test ready? And I know that because………… He’s the one who is normally around when son has lessons – why can’t he ask! Next question – and what about theory? Answer – getting there slowly on the Test Programme he uses! Why oh why can’t he just talk to son? Son said, I’d love to be able to have a proper conversation with dad; I don’t want to find that 10 years on we are still not “talking”. Asked what he wanted to do about that? Ask him to put the kettle on and I’ll have a coffee? Go for it son – he’s in, I said. Mum, he said, it can wait – one step at a time! Son banked money and is now spending it on books! Roll on daylight – things can only get better! Thanks for listening / reading!
