i am not sure if the dsa for my ma is going to try and give me a new computer or not. last time they gave me a laptop but i cant really use one because rsi. i wouldnt mind if they gave me money for a ram upgrade because thats pretty much all it needs

also i just realised that the cheap mechanical keyboard i bought does not have a \ key so thats great for me wanting to learn a programming language

or type anything in a dos prompt

I can buy one as a capital asset since I use the laptop for work but only if I spread it over 3 years, which is a-okay if I knew whether or not I will be allowed to in here for that many years.

Visa extension applications haven't been processed since, uh, March with some people being offered an opt-out from the face to face application only recently and previous appointments being processed since late July. It's really nerve-wracking to progress from :ohdear: to :smithicide: every day when literally all your future hangs on to this and only update you get about the new online application system is "It'll be ready when it's ready, lol" but it does seem to be progressing.

I saw a couple of people on the train who had official looking lanyards saying "mask exempt" and wore expressions akin to bulldogs chewing wasps and had a look daring people to judge them, which I duly did because yes hidden disabilities exist etc but I've yet to hear of a convincing reason that actually prevents someone from putting a little bit of cloth over their nose and mouth for a couple of hours for the sake of public health and solidarity

More dumb pandemic people: GF has a friend (Scandinavian) which I openly don't like and she was like "a guy in my bfs work shows symptoms and waiting for his test result, my bf is possibly exposed and we're hosting a group dinner in our cramped apartment" and my gf was like "wtf doing you dumb idiots, cancel that dinner for fucks sake".

Her friend apparently got all pissy because how dare you to remind me that I am putting people in danger for my stupid vanity gathering? The very idea of her friend not thinking of cancelling that dinner the second she hear about that colleague situation is beyond :psyduck: to me. She was also super salty when I told her she cannot enter the house during the peak pandemic after waltzing around the city with her bf and having parties with randos.

This daft oval office came to visit my missus for her birthday and had his train booked home the same day but I knew he would end up staying with her. Which was agreed then he announced his flatmate was currently self isolating. wtf

you can pre-pay and print your own labels at home so all you have to do at the post office is walk in, dump the parcels in the parcel thingy and walk right back out again

Some private parcel services like DHL can do a pickup from your home but the last time I tried almost every pickup slot was booked but that was like 2 months ago. You might give it a go if you are vulnerable / don't want to enter post office but yeah printing labels at home and hook shotting the parcel over a plexiglass shield worked fine so far.

That would explain why they have a 1-2 day delay message on their site. Too busy rehashing old jobs to hash up the current ones.

Hermes are the loving worst. You'd think they might realise their usual 'ah, we tried to deliver but you weren't in' bullshit wouldn't work so well during a lockdown, but nope, they can't even be bothered to update their lies.

Apparently it isn't bad enough to stop her ordering from them, so there's your answer.

You've done well, kiddo.
I once cancelled an order on Amazon that was already in transit so they told me they would arrange for it to be picked up and returned to their warehouse. Hermes turned up to collect it before it had even been delivered and then got lovely with me when I tried to tell them I can't return it yet, then they refused to come back out to collect it once it had arrived and I had to pay for collection myself.

re: parcel posting,

Post offices should be open as normal if they are fully staffed. Ours is making people socially distance and we basically murder people who walk in without a mask so its a lot safer than some of the shops.


Print your postage through ebay or click and drop etc by all means, but in my experience most people get the wrong postage for the item, either size or value, so really pay attention to how big, heavy and valuable the thing you're sending is, because we can't correct it.


In 2020 I tried to get a cool new job at a fine art foundry in Devon, unfortunately failed because I wasn't local and they wanted freelance so BULLET loving DODGED THERE.

I also got a rude romantic awakening, the one you DON'T want where my sort of but not anymore boyfriend got a new girlfriend just as I was about to visit, couldnt visit because RONA and then he moved her in... and then he blocked me because I got upset at him when I was drunk one night.

I was meant to learn to drive and sell more paintings. on the plus side, I got me a loving cat. I therefore choose to remember this year as the year of Tuna.
