Nov. 12th, 2020 12:42 amHalf past 12 in the morning, and I'm trying to get anything on Youtube to load so I can watch the videos I usually do before I go to bed. On the one hand, everything but Youtube is loading fine, so I feel like maybe it's Youtube - experiencing a lot of traffic on this Playstation 5-eve. On the other hand, my game of the Sims (heavily reliant on the internet) froze and crashed twice tonight, so maybe it's not? Either way, I have the whirling circles of death.
I have everything to say and nothing to say. The American election happened, and it happened slowly, and mostly I just didn't understand enough about it to be relieved by anything that happened, but now I am somewhat relieved. To be honest though, I got quite a lot of relief on the morning after the election when it wasn't just a wild landslide for Trump. But it's a little sad that it was still as close as it was.
Like I say, the PS5 is out tomorrow - in America, and a few other countries, so that's probably when I'll have to swear off the internet until it comes out in this country, next Thursday. So far I am on track to pick it up, in a click-and-collect, one-in-one-out fashion, with help from one of my parents and their car. I don't know what the queueing situation will be like, but I assume my little local shop won't have hundreds of units, so not too bad. Then will come the wiping down, once we get it home. I'm not looking forward to that.
I have been getting texts from B&Q about an order I made, except I never made an order, and don't have much to do with B&Q. I tried to call them yesterday, and spent 24 minutes listening to their extremely annoying hold music with adverts embedded, and then my phone handset died. So I gave up. I checked my bank balance and no payments have gone out to B&Q, so I think it's just a mistaken phone number rather than fraud, but I still feel like I want to tell them about it, but they don't make it easy. I should just send them an email,. but who knows when those get read during a lockdown. Heck off B&Q. Your customers don't know when their orders will be delivered. Unless you are also sending emails as well as texts.
