My brother in law is grinding my gears very hard right now.
Not going to get into detail, but he's cheating with the one of the caterers from their wedding & my sis just found out. I want to remove his fucking nadgers with a rusty ice-cream scoop.

May has been a pretty shit month for me. NBN are grinding my gears this time: 4 missed techo appointments and meanwhile I have no broadband. 4 appointments, no contact, no case notes in the fault I lodged with my ISP. Also I did receive "appointment confirmed" SMSs from NBN for all 4.
It seems ISPs are pretty toothless with regard to NBN so far - there needs to be three missed appointments before they're allowed to escalate to 2nd level. 2nd level escalation just meant another appointment lodged. That 4th appointment was missed this morning, and allegedly now another (5th) appointment has been made for tomorrow morning, so now I get to fuck up a chunk of my Saturday waiting for a techo that likely won't show up. 8am to 12pm is the "appointment time" - and even that is a suggestion as if you ring after 12 the ISP is instructed to tell people to wait until 1pm "just in case the technician is running late". ADSL isn't even an option in this apartment building. While a shitty option, it would still be better than NO broadband. As a work-around, I'm trying to use my phone but my cell keeps dropping Wi-Fi Hot Spotting. Bluetooth tethered hot spot is working fine (which is what I'm using now) but on the client machine that I need to access my client's network, that's not an option - been locked down - so need to use Wi-Fi. So at some point I'm probably going to need a new phone because of this one being dropped too many times. I suppose THAT one is on me, but still annoying.

I'm somewhat technical, and I've learnt many software packages over the years. From CS Suite to Solidworks. None of them have prepared me for the newbie unfriendlyness of DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software.
Picked up a midi keyboard to start getting back into creating some EDM, and started to get a feel for what options are out there, initially picking up FL Studio after spending a fair bit of time in Fruityloops in my younger years. Noped out of that after a few hours of frustration. Currently learning Ableton, which seems a little more friendly than FL Studio for what I want to use it for, but holy shit, it's pretty damn terrible for new users. I'd be absolutely lost if I was just someone musical that wasn't technical but wanted to get into music production. Youtube tutorials are king.

Had a treadmill test for heart problems this morning and after sitting down I damn near feinted. Queue two peoples appointments being cancelled due to me taking nearly two hours for my blood pressure to return to normal.
Felt so bad for those two people that had probably like me been waiting many months if not a year for the test.

FFS. This month hates me.
Yes I'm being selfish, but it's been a year and a half since I've been back to NZ, to see my family. Melbourne going to a 7-day lockdown from midnight tonight... I fly out in 8 days, but I'm betting that NZ will announce either no-entry (flights cancelled) or 14-day quarantine for everyone coming from Victoria - even those like me that have avoided the hot-spots by basically avoiding everyone. GAAH!

Yeah, my flight is definitely cancelled - I was going to be leaving 09:00 (NZ Time 11:00) on the 4th.
I need to wait and see if I can rebook for Sat/Sun/Mon - after that it's a bit of a joke given my flight back is on the 12th. Here's hoping no mandatory quarantine for those from Vic, I guess.

Incompetent NBN techs GMG.
Today's one was fine. The one that showed up a fortnight ago and didn't fix a damn thing though - when the fault was with the NBN box in my apartment which the first guy had full access to - yeah, that guy GMG.

And in another entry from the "Fuck May 2021" files: Qantas has changed my flight this Friday so it's not direct from Victoria to Wellington, instead MEL->SYD->WLG.
However: Quote:
Fucked if I know what Qantas are trying to pull here, but no way am I going to even TRY entering NZ until it's legit.

$110,000 fine for breaching sensitive land rules
Cause if you want to ignore the law in NZ it will cost you.... not very much. With no other consequences. (It's a $125k fine plus costs on a $9.4m purchase, the article is only up to our normal standards of journalism.)

I ordered this hoping it was American cheese. Nope, just regular processed cheddar coloured orange. Very cheeky calling it "burger" cheese.
There must be some kind of trade restriction. We make it in NZ, but obviously only to supply US fastfood chains.

I think my job of coming up 15 years in a helpdesk role is making me more and more cynical. Doesn’t help that I’m the type that plays a game of chess with everything where I consider any and all possibilities.

'Lifting the silence': Twenty students at prestigious Christchurch girls school say they have been raped
What I find so frustrating is everyone acting as if we haven't known for a good century how frequently we rape our children. Every time we discover our kids are being raped it's like it's new and surprising. Yet every avenue of research points to the same conclusion: we rape our kids. If you're doing a community study and an appropriate volume haven't experienced sexual violence, you'd be expected to explain the problems with your sampling. Check out the school, it's "prestigious", which means that some of the rapists involved are also prestigious or connected to such people. And this is a big part of why we don't look. What if the wrong people are caught out? Well, all of a sudden that investigation starts to face questions from high places, scrutiny, accusations. And so nothing happens, victims are left to suffer, perpetrators continue to enjoy impunity.

Edit - found a link to the survey results. I note that “being rated on your looks by others” is included as an example of sexual harassment.
