Customer: we are doing this like it says in the manual. Me: you’re not. C: yes, we are. M: I guarantee you are not because that procedure is copied from the previous manual and I am the one who wrote it. C: ah. 😑

16:58: needed admin rights from IT to change a network setting. 17:02: needed them again to change some driver settings. But the freaking IT guy left at exactly 17:00. 🤬

Annoying day spent fixing a machine lthat 3-4 techs‘worked on’ for the last 3 months. Things that didn’t need to be removed were, cables removed, a real Easter egg hunt just to find out what they did. Long story short, turned it on and found the power supply was dead like I’d told them in Feb. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Carrot Joghurt. Huh.

To the little white Kombi from Göttingen. I realize all the curves and narrow roads over Splügenpass are new to you and you’re being extra careful, but there were 6-7 of us behind you for what felt like 30-40km. You couldn’t pull off in to one of the many way areas along the way to let us pass? 🥺

Stage plate for a laser. Just provisional until the vendor can send the ones that were missing.

I ordered 4 AAA rechargeable batteries and was delivered a kitchen scale instead. While going through the online returns process was sent to a page on how to resolve this myself with ‚helpful‘ tips. One was basically how to open a battery door and another, weirdly, how to wear a mask. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wordle 1.777 2/6 🟩⬛🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Big Spargel pushing Stories again. Bets the first recipe is with hollandaise? (I’m firmly in the camp of white Spargel being the saltine cracker of the vegetable world and only useful as a carrier for whatever sauce it’s served in).

3d printers are such fun. You see some stupid prank and can immediately do it as well.

Wordle 1.770 5/6 ⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nothing interesting about it except I earned a <badge not found> badge for it.

Automated speech to text on the internal office sharepoint.... it started off okay, but ended with: "...für sie litten über teams flight magic individual for thick puppies pestan" Either the AI sucks, or my colleague just had a neurological incident. 🤔

Just spent more time than I care to admit trying to debug my wife‘s iPhone having a problem opening anything with FaceID…. Yes, it was a dirty front camera, yes, I tried pretty much everything else before realizing it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The latest iOS update has moved app updates behind another menu. So instead of opening apps and clicking on Apple account, you now open apps, click on Apple account and now have to click App Updates. 🙄 The German term for this is Verschlimmbesserung. 😑

Ah, Happy Scintillating Scotoma Day for those who celebrate. Been a while, assume this has something to do with the bronchitis and fever of the last few days.

Drop your crime fighting Catholics.

Note to vendor: if you neglect to give use our agreed on default PLC IP addresses, a very annoyed diebesbeute is left sitting for hours in front of the machine doing an nmap ping scans unsuccessfully 😑🤬

Savoury donuts!

Watching an increasingly annoyed looking magpie build a nest in one of our trees and keeps either getting the nest material caught in the branches, or dropping it and having to retrieve. I hope they aren’t as protective as crows when it comes to defending their nest. Painful memories from childhood.

Foam inserts for some metrology tools for a friend. Mistakes were made, but should work out in the end.

Wickie the Wikinger is a girl and the show is better for it.

Signing some documents for financing of my wife's car and am apparently channeling my 'old man can't use technology' because there were so many problems getting the electronic signature with the eAT to work I am left questioning whether I am technically competent anymore. 🙄🙈

Little project creating parking space signs for the Daughter and her boyfriend who keep having Handwerker steal their parking spots.

Weird behavior from a company. I have a subscription until September, but received an email last month that I have until 27 March to accept new pricing or my account will be frozen. Fine print, I will have full access until September, but HAVE to accept new pricing NOW or they cancel the sub.

Prepared for the traditional slaughtering of the Osterlamm.

Tasked to get a raisin osterbrot, no icing this morning. Line at bakery was like 30 people long and there were two (2) raisin osterbrot, no icing left. Finally only one person ahead of my and there is one left and I hear her say "<indistinguishable> osterbrot, no icing" 😱 fortunately no raisins. 😅

After my old barber left to do his own thing in another town, I’ve been bouncing around different hair salons and barbers and not finding one I like. Finally found one in January. He informed me today he’s leaving to do his own salon in another town. 😵‍💫😑

Question for people who cut food through to the plate and then continue cutting with a nerve-jangling scritch. So you just not hear tones in that range? Or are you psychopaths? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Listening to Project Hail Mary audio book and the voice actor really leaned in to have slurred/tired speech to indicate how out of it the protagonist was at the start. REALLY leaned to it. I was about to stop listening to it. At which point I realized my audio book player was set to 1/2 speed. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The annual ‚lawnmower start after winter‘ Olympics were especially eventful this year as I somehow mixed up which lever releases the spark so the stupid thing can actually start. Was debugging a magneto problem before I realized my mistake. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Like every two days or more for the past months I’ve been getting LinkedIn spam for USN chaplain or nuclear reactor operator. 🙄

Programmed a scene for the home automation called ‘leck mich am arsch’, which finally paid dividends when my wife expressed her annoyance at Siri and Siri followed orders and turned off all the lights. 🤭

Confirming my wife’s thesis that I am an Unruhestifter, the local auslanderamt now are arguing with one another what Pass(Ersatz) means exactly. The argument included one woman PRINTING OUT the paragraph to show the office guy who didn’t agree that it is a valid document without the passport.

More wireframe anus chairs. This set with the rarer wireframe anus side table.

Was not prepared for this today. 😑

Do bathrooms really need windows in to the rest of the hotel room? 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Necking some fasteners down for a customer.
