6 November
One of my credit cards has been declined twice at Asda
and I couldn’t work out why. Well, I found out last night while I tried to buy
something on-line and realised the card is out of date … deeerrrrr shows how
much I use it eh!. Now I’m stuck in a queue to the bank to get a new sent out
and after eight minutes I finally got through to India, again. It seems that
they sent a new card out but they’ve sent it to our old address even though I
changed the address when we moved here. Sixteen
bloody minutes now and it’s not finished with! In the end I was on the phone
for 30 minutes and then they called me back, what a nightmare.
This all came about because I wanted to update the
Norton 360 software on me ‘puter. I’d had tried installing one of two discs we
have here and then paying for an update; now way, they are not being accepted.
So a look on line showed me prices around the £50-60 mark. Amazon prices vary
from £29.99 up to £84. I downloaded and have installed a free trail. That will
allow me to look in a few other places before I need to buy.
The warden of the complex that our flats are part of
called the other day to try to sort out the pull cord system we have here. He’s
still dealing with it. The warden has a handset which they have to keep with
them while they are on duty, but since we moved in here every warden there has
been had had problems with that handset. Now the new guy is finally getting
something done about it. When he called in on Monday he was surprised that we
didn’t have one of those pendent things and even more surprised that we hadn’t
been offered one. He’s got them now but as he said, it’s no use letting us have
them when the handset isn’t working. Typical council it seems; good ideas but
no idea how to implement them!
Yesterday I didn’t do anything towards NANO, I just
didn’t feel up to it. So today I need to get with it and get a load done. I was
hoping to get a good bit ahead so I wouldn’t to do it while Kile is here this
weekend. It looks like we won’t be going anywhere again anyway, the weather isn’t
looking great. With that in mind then, here a photo from one time we did take
him out …
Kile at Brandon Marsh - and he loves that Sony Alpha 350 of mine!
And the Sage has spoken words of wisdom …
The directors
of the Company were called in to the chairman’s office one by one until only
the newest executive was left sitting nervously outside.
Finally it was his turn to be summoned.
He entered the office to find the chairman and the other eight directors seated solemnly around a table.
He was invited to join them, which he did.
As soon as he had sat down the chairman turned to the young man and asked,
“Have you ever slept with Miss Foyt, my secretary?”
“No, certainly not.”
“Are you absolutely sure?” asked the chairman.
“Absolutely; I’ve never laid a finger on her.”
“You’d swear to that?”
“Yes, I swear I’ve never slept with your secretary.”
“Good. Then you can fire her.”
