Good night everyone ๐
Sigh. Just spent an hour past my appointment in the GPs waiting room. Why do they always run so late? Surely they should leave some buffer time or make appointments longer? So annoying. Seriously I would be happier to drive further to a clinic that can manage their bookings rather than sit endlessly at one that canโt. But they all seem the same.
It's a symptom of the system as a whole not working well enough, not necessarily the clinic.
People don't book long enough appointments due to cost because the rebate is too low, doctors need more than 15 minutes to properly document visits or fill out paperwork, good GPs will be proactive with things the patient didn't come in for, people show up late, emergencies come up, etc. etc.
My GP charges the same gap fee no matter the length of the consultation, so I usually always book a double to hopefully at least give them a few minutes of their time back.
I have a random deposit in my bank account this morning of $45.67 as Direct Credit ATO ๐ค feels incredibly scammy
I've had those before and usually followed with a mailed letter. Might be some tax adjustment or similar.
Random thoughts that prevent sleep. I have no idea what a chickpea plant looks like. To the interwebs!
Lower decks ending. Well, time to cancel paramount plus.
this pic I took of a snake at the Royal show
I think it's a northern death adder iirc. So cute!!!
Edit: oh there's also a black house spider behind the exit sign above the fire escape in the hallway. It's all tucked in there, also very cute but no pics lol
Why don't they play THIS in the shops. Instant customer identification is very high indeed.
today's randomness:
Tool battery powerpacks are usually just literal 18650's chained together. I have a chainsaw one that's actually just a buncha nicads. They don't do replacements. I am not paying another couple hundred for a useful tool that I use once in a blue moon. I know you can get replacement battery packs, but are there small, dodgy shops where they will perform the swap for you?
(I want a battery upgrade which will also need new charger but I am not fuckin' soldering lithiums)
I am not fuckinโ soldering lithiums
I'll do it for you. All I ask as payment is a will kit, a fire extinguisher and a prosthetic hand.
no eyebrows? Great deal!
Fuckin eh! I'm not keen on doing surgery on the cats' twitty bird because I expect it to be a soldered coin battery. Fuck anything bigger.
I was just about to check my email for the estimated time for my grocery delivery today when they delivered it. Faboulous timing, they most often deliver around 11am for this time window. Mr Woof Is not happy about someone encroaching on our territory though.
