Posted 2 Dec 2021 Look, I know you're the boss and have to re-confirm it to yourself and to those under you every time you get a chance, but LISTEN TO YOURSELF ffs. Do you think I've never, ever in my entire life put a plastic container into the sink and washed it? So when you see me at the staff kitchen sink rinsing it out, is it really necessary to tell me where the dish soap is located and that if I don't use dish soap I'll never get the grease out? Jeez, I never knew that. Ever considered that I wanted to get the remaining nerdo chunks of chili rinsed out first? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 8 Dec 2021 Am I the only one left venting? So be it. YOU GOD-DAMN FUCKING WEASELS! We bought the place brand new. The washing machine came with the new kitchen. Also brand new, the appliances all purchased about a year ago by the company selling us the place. It took ages for the kitchen to be installed because of FUCKING CORONA The move-in took place in late May. Then, six months later, the washing machine is already tits up. It's leaking out the front end, because the rubber seal that goes against the front window is torn. Water all over the place. So after a week of back and forth you, the makers of this pile of fucking bolts, REFUSE TO HONOUR THE GUARANTEE because the rubber ring is only guaranteed for six months? And that you start calculating the six months from the moment the machine was purchased by the people installing the kitchen? FUCK YOU AND THE HORSES YOU RODE IN ON YOU ASSHOLES! How the fuck are we supposed to have even touched the god-damn machine before we moved in, let alone washed clothes in it? I have proof of the move-in date, also proof of the date the problem first appeared. SIX MONTHS AND ONE DAY APART. Nope. Sorry. There'd be a fuck of a lot less ELEKTROSCHROTT if what was coming out of your factory wasn't fucking SCHROTT in the first place. This heap of shit is going straight to the dump, and I am going to take great pleasure in smashing it to bits with the biggest fucking hammer I can find. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Dec 2021 So, first we have to cancel the trip to England for Christmas due to completely arbitrary rules about stopping a version of a virus which is already here, then we order the last bird available to roast, which is basically an ostrich, and won't be ready to pick up until 7am tomorrow, so will probably be ready to eat at some point on 29 December. Then we tell the relatives in England to ship presents to my kids asap - ensuring they are marked as gifts and put in boxes less than €45. So, this morning, I've started receiving lots of messages from DPD telling me they have a load of stuff sitting in customs. I've written to them pointing out the fact it should be delivered, to which they have said there is a high number of queries and they will respond in a few days. Balls. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Dec 2021 A reminder to everyone that if you recycle shipping bags with logos (Amazon, L.L. Bean, etc.), turn them inside out. I sent a package to my granddaughters in Germany, and because I reused an Amazon bag it was held in Customs and my son angrily had to pay duty on it. This is his vent. Let your non-EU package-senders know this, and save yourself some trouble and euros. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Jan 2022 Bloody encrypted codes. I love it when people send me their paperwork for their contracts. It is easy- I print out PdFs and stuff and stamp and sign and scan off and the world is wonderful. But there are so many new variants on keeping stuff " safe ", it is difficult to keep up with.🙁 Bloody password here, reset there, have you forgotten your password? Yes, I bleeding have.😒 We have sent you a new code. Thanks very much. What do you mean my email is wrong? No it bloody isn't🙁. Why has my Skype disappeared? Wrong password. No, it isn't, erm , or wasn't. Why isn't a new password beginning with " youbastards" valid? You ARE bastards. Ok, sorted it out. New password accepted! Great! Where the hell is my notebook? I wrote it down somewhere. Jeez. Phone call to consultant. " Mr Gunn, didn't you want to send something through an hour and a half ago?" " How old are you?" "31." " I thought so. 😂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Jan 2022 My wife is on a cancer ward right now in a different federal state. She was rushed there to have a chunk of her intestine removed as an emergency before Christmas. This is almost certainly because the operation to put in a stent to ease the congestion caused by the tumour was delayed as 'non-essential' because of this covid crap. She would have needed the surgery anyway eventually, but it would have been planned and coordinated as part of her care package in my local hospital instead of an emergency ambulance ride to a different federal state. I'm fully vaccinated + booster but it's not enough right now. The hospital she is in has explicitly said no entry without a valid test which is < 24 hours old (48 for PCR test). I approve of this restriction it's right and proper, but it also hurts so much. It takes 2 hours to get the test results, then another 2 hours on public transport to get to her, visiting ends at 18:00 which means I can't get there during the week if I'm working. Visits on a Saturday are better because I don't have to work, but the queues for testing are longer, I leave home at about 10:00 get to the hospital by 15:30(Start of visiting) stay until I'm kicked out at about 16:30 (you can only stay for an hour). Back home by about 19:00 emotionally and physically exhausted. On Sunday and bank-holidays the reduced transport service mean I have to leave at 09:30 to get there for 15:30 and that I don't get home until 8 in the night. I've been doing this for the last few weeks and I just can't keep it up. I normally save my vacation time so that my long break for Christmas is the time when I unwind, relax and let go of the years stress. It didn't happen this year. Anyone who is contributing to this either with their anti-vax bullshit or just plain irresponsible behaviour can go die in a ditch for all I care. I'm looking at you asshole in the supermarket who was licking his fucking finger to open the vegie bag, then changed his mind and put the cucumbers back on the shelf. And then wandering off coughing as you searched your pockets for a hankie instead of covering your fucking mouth with a mask and going outside. Oh and also FUCK CANCER. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 Jan 2022 Meanwhile: once again some idiot neighbour left a fucking bottle in the Biomüll. Of course I leaned in and took it out, as I always do. Duh! I'd really like to stuff said idiot's head in the Biomüll. Thanks for listening! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can´t help but wonder if it might be worth checking into a hotel/B&B on Saturday evenings so as to at least get a bit of a break from traveling around? It might cost a little more, but could also help keep you rested... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2022 She came home. Hopefully for a good long time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 Feb 2022 Thanks for your thoughts @robinson100 I didn't think of getting a hotel, but it might have been a good solution. Instead we just increased the amount of time we spent video chatting and then eventually she came home. Since she came home we've gotten a Pflegestufe 4 assessment and are getting daily visits from a palliative care team, so the physical effort is a lot less now. The emotional effort of watching her slow decline is another thing altogether, but it is manageable, I have friends and family who help. I'll probably make some posts over the coming weeks about practical stuff, but those can go in other threads more suited to the task. Nothing to vent about today, just feeling a bit sad. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
