I just made a phone call.
It was regarding something relatively straightforward and simple to sort out and I was on the phone for 37 minutes. Most of that was on hold.
As soon as it ended I burst into tears.
I am exhausted. My neck and back are agony from the tension. I’ve got a headache and I feel sick.
It took about 30 minutes to stop shaking.
I wrote my speech but they interrupted, trying to get me to do security questions first.
@purplepadma@Troggie yep and they outright refuse to make accomodations and that includes the NHS sadly. Ironically funny not funny my last psych video phone call ( aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh ) went so badly wrong and then he discharged me because reasons.... Then he wrote a defamatory report which I'm having to go through GDPR to get removed, complaint went nowhere as he was a contractor and they not using him right now
@Troggie There are are swallows (or swifts) I think in the box up on the house two doors down. I saw them yesterday when I was putting the washing out.
Why do all new kitchens look like spaceships these days? Everything is white, flat and featureless.
No hate if this is your kitchen and you love it.
I'm just pondering what happened to colour. And cupboard handles.
@Troggie I feel the same way when I watch Homes Under the Hammer and they say, "I've created a grey and white box with grey and white carpets and a grey and white kitchen and a grey and white bathroom!" Then someone says, "oh this is very high end..."
Bullshit. I don't want to move in and rip out a load of brand new things just because someone was terrified of anything that wasn't monochrome.
Also, renting a white box is miserable. Give me the rainbow! 🌈

Can anyone think of a reason why a PC would completely lose the ability to shut down on its own?
It started happening a while ago so I did a clean install and now it’s happening again.
It’ll get to black screen, monitors go to sleep but it doesn’t switch off.
I tried disabling fast startup but now it just hangs on the blue shutting down screen. It can’t restart either.
Windows 10, nothing wrong with hardware afaik. #PCHelp
