i don't know what's going on but i can't get shit done.
take today:
woke up. had a bowl of plant-based yoghurt and fruit. remembered i had to send a parcel. ok so print label.
i had only just deleted windows off my laptop and installed linux.
mind you: i am gen x and know nothing about coding, internet or software. my son helped me install it.
i tried getting the printer to work, and i got as far as everything working except for the actual printing. it was sending the fucking message to the printer, the printer even received it cause the light lighted up and there even was a little sound but nothing came out. ffs.
to this point i'd already spend fucking hours. in between a delivery came.
then i decided i couldn't figure it out so i walked to the postoffice and the library. library had shut for fucking lunch so i tried the postoffice. yes, he had a printer but couldn't or wouldn't tell me how to connect my phone to it. by then a massive queue had formed behind me so i left and tried tesco's. they only had another courier station which i couldn't use cause label was for rm.
i walked back, 20 minutes till the librarian came back from lunch and open again at 1pm. i smoked.
then i had to go through a whole other process to be allowed to print one misery label, cost 20 or 30p.
id myself with my library card. find a document with my name and address on. turn data on. find something in the ocean of my admin life on my phone. show the lady librarian. pay £0.30. get copy. fuckin hell.
that took at least 20 minutes.
walk back to postoffice. stick label on and write order no. on, just in case. postmaster did his thing and gave me a receipt. i walked home.
got back, made lunch and had a lie down. while lying down i thought, oh yeah wanna watch that film #kneecap published last year (i can't eat before watching, just feels less enjoyable). so searched for it on browser. it said netflix has it so looked on there. wasn't on there. anyway, took me at least another half hour finding it somewhere i don't increase #CorporateGreed, which turned out i can only watch on my tablet because my console, phone and tablet don't support my projector. too old.
paid for the film on #curzon so i know kneecap gets paid. took another fucking lifetime to sign up and pay.
i could finally watch it and eat.
it was fucking awesome.
especially when i had seen yesterday that #FreeMoChara has been arrested on terror charges. fucking pathetic hypocritical bastards, knowing the #UKgov is actively engaged in the #GazaGenocide, and off course still illegally occupies #NorthernIreland as its first ever colony. now i'm writing this and it's 18:52 BMT (british mean time - i kid u not, can't get any meaner than this).
this is all i've fucking done today and i'm absolutely exhausted.
how i am going to contribute to the fucking revolution i don't know, but like #kneecap i am going to have to use word bullets as my weapon.
as i also speak a language only about 20M people speak, i'll translate to dutch in a minute which will probably take me another fucking hour.
i blame the system. if it wasn't for #capitalism i wouldn't have to do all these useless tasks.

edit: sorry i can't be fucking asked to translate. maybe tomorrow.
