Can't describe how much I hate computers. Am supposed to log in to my medical insurance website, fill some crap out to get some rewards. Have no idea what they are. Am new to medicare. But, so what, I can't get in. So many people are trying to access the site right now that I can't get to it. This has happened before. Why don't they build a site that can actually support their customers.

They don't have a reason to set things up properly would be my guess. That would cost money to do it right and someone way up the chain may lose a part of a bonus or other such.

Plus humans make bids and humans make decisions. The public transport in my city is changing to be "state of the art 21st century" and integrated and all that jazz. So in January it all goes on to a single app. Great, I've been using another app to buy my single bus tickets for some time! I downloaded the new app to have a look and was astonished at how utterly unfit for purpose it is. You can buy a daily ticket, a weekly ticket, a yearly ticket even - but can you buy a simple single ticket for a bus journey? No, I have to go back to asking the driver for a paper ticket because someone running transport infrastructure for almost 3 million people didn't anticipate anyone would want to buy a single bus ticket and therefore didn't build that functionality into the app. Shocking oversight. Someone probably did a great pitch, had a nice salesy smile and a bunch of people had a meeting and liked the shiny color of the app and the price was right, and forgot about actually making it useful 🤣 Probably the same with a lot of other systems 🤷
 
Today is dragging on forever! Just looked at the clock and i still have nearly 3 hours.... 3 Long hours before i go home. i should be grateful... because once home i have to clean, do laundry, pack, and decorate before i get to finish some baking. That's what i get for shutting down early yesterday i guess. Just over tired, yet still so Full of randomness and energy in my mind... obviously not the body lol

Apprehensive. Only 4 days to go to my desperately needed time off starting tomorrow but it feels a bit daunting. At least I can start counting hours at some point! I think I need to get out for a run.
