Had my foot in a cast since June waiting for foot fusion surgery. Finally, get an appointment to get it done. All this time I've been going to a hospital in London for checkups and wotnot (4-5 hour round trip each time). Have my pre-op assessment, they found I've developed Atrial Fibrillation so the operation gets cancelled.
Went up to London for an echocardiogram this Saturday. I'm now on medication for hypertension and beta-blockers for the AF.
Started the beta-blockers today and my goodness, everything makes me angry right now.

Phones at work are garbage. We switched from 'land lines' to VOIP last year and it's been a crapshoot since. We've had days where the phones just don't ring, any incoming calls get shuffled to a voice message mailbox without notifying us, or it'll ring once and lose the call. And the quality of the sound is just not good. Spent an hour this morning trying to get one damn phone to ring properly.
Complaint #2) started printing a job this morning and then get a call from customer... "there's an error on one of the pages, have you started it yet?" Damnit, you signed off on it yesterday!

F'n stupid people on their phones in the gym. I hate them, and impatiently wait for them to give up or hurt themselves and get out of my way.

Just got woke up by a buttdial at 7AM. Dunno if the person realized, but there was a three minute long voicemail of people talking in the background before it cut off so I'm guessing no.

A concrete mixer truck was parked sideways in the road a couple hundred yards from my office. Actually parked 100% blocking all traffic. He was lined up to back into the driveway being paved but their concrete pumper broke down. He didn't want to move his truck because "it's only going to take 30 seconds to fix the thing". About 5 minutes later a local cop showed up and forced him to move. It's now 4 hours later and I can see the pumper is still broken.
Pain in the ass.

Steam said my game was coming out today, and then at 3AM it changed it to tomorrow.

My wife has been getting wrong number calls for about two years regarding some rental property in San Diego. The wife contacted the guy and he apologized and said he had no idea how her number got in there. Haven’t heard any in about six months.
Today the wife has gotten three calls from news outlets looking for San Diego guy. It turns out he has been brought up on charges for being in the January 6th Insurrection in DC. The wife’s number shows up as “likely to be valid” on the news database because of the volume of calls to it.

Ya'll probably are on a "special list" because of that now as well.

Ah no, just the timing of it was funny. it was working fine around 11 AM, then I checked it again this afternoon and it wouldn't power up or anything. But it was a pretty old phone, even customer service was surprised it lasted so long whenever they checked my account info. I was going to have to upgrade soon anyway, I just didn't expect the entire phone to die like it did.

It annoys me when people change the pronouns when they cover a song. Something I really dig about the Lemonheads' cover of "Different Drum" is that it's clearly based on the Linda Ronstadt/Stone Poneys version and retains the same pronouns. Although the earlier version would've changed the pronouns from the original, so I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.
UK posters may be aware of a nasty racism scandal embroiling English cricket at the moment, and as a lover of cricket and someone who isn't an appalling human being, that's making me quite angry at the moment.

My partner’s choice in music; calling it bland doesn’t do it justice.

Myself.
I finally ran off my mom's white supremacist boyfriend but in my anger went overboard and hurt my mother's feelings too.

Round this time every year we start seeing a huge influx of claims from people who purchase a policy, then call to report an accident or a break in within a couple days. And no, they didn't call the police or otherwise procure any evidence to document when the damage actually occurred, nor do they have any receipts for the stuff that got damaged/stolen in the incident.
We aren't going to pay those claims so it's a a ton of angry phone calls with people who are likely committing a crime, but they're doing it looking for money ahead of the holidays.
So, that's always fun.

Well this aggravated me yesterday, but it counts. I decided to go to Hy-vee last night to do my grocery shopping and get my flu and booster shot since I'm going to be around a decent amount of anti-vax, anti-science, pro-conspiracy nutjobs in the coming weeks. I call these people my extended family. The exchange went something like this:
Hova: Good evening, I'd like to get my booster and flu shot, please.
Tech: We've stopped taking walkins for the day.
Hova: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the website said you didn't need an appointment and were open until 7. (It was about 5:30)
Tech: You don't and we are. We'd suggest you make an appointment.
Hova: Fair enough, but I'm here now.
Tech: Walkins are always welcome.
Hova: Except now. When do you normally stop taking walkins during the day?
Tech: .......
Hova: .......
Tech: .......
Hova: Listen, if I need to make an appointment, I'll make one but there's three of you standing around right now and over an hour before you close. (This is the part that annoyed me, I walked the width of the store and could just see them not doing anything at the counter).
So I'm scheduled for next Monday for both of them and it's not like I'm going across town to get it, but I've been trying so hard the past 20 months to do the right things in regards to this and to just be brushed off like that really caught me the wrong way. I did end up just walking away before I said something to the tech that I'd feel bad about later.

The yearly mice invasion began over a week ago. Idiot brother drags his feet every f***ing year in taking care of the problem before they make it up out of the basement, and this year was no exception. Idiot nephew ended up being the one to do something about it, I suspect because sister-in-law told him to. Going to be awash in traps for at least a few more days 'til the solution takes effect.
Silver lining is that Walmart sells sturdy plastic black traps that're far easier to use than the wooden ones.

Missing the fourth Mike Matei livestream in a row. Granted, three of them I missed because of more important stuff (work) while the fourth one I missed due to my train taking me to my weekend vacation spot didn't have a functioning WLAN (don't like using my mobile data plan for streams), but still...it was made all the worse by seeing that he beat a game in each stream!
