I outed my usually inner grumpy old man this morning and told off a schoolboy on the train for having his bag on the seat beside him. As usual these days the trains are very crowded and people were standing. I felt a bit bad for him afterwards, but I can't abide those that 'seat hog' this way.

I’m not a killjoy usually, but if we are in a school pickup line (don’t get me started on why that is even needed) and your music is so loud it is making MY car vibrate, maybe it’s time to turn it down a smidge?

I enjoy reading about the mundane things happening in your lives, and in return I toot the trivialities of my daily round.

But a lesson I repeatedly fail to take under my belt is that I shouldn't tell you lot when I'm unwell or, in particular, describe my unwellness.

Because every time I do someone - well meaning certainly - will be along to tell me that I should be taking more Vitamin Q, Pangolin Tail Extract or to remember to Hydrate.

Equally, there's sometimes some concerned individual who knows of someone - his brother's nextdoor neighbour's friend - who had exactly the same thing as I've got, but who delayed contacting the doctor by 17 nano-seconds resulting in them having to have their head amputated.

It's not your fault - you mean well, you don't know me or about my 40 years in healthcare - it's me, I'm over sharing.

Thanks for reading

i find it extremely annoying that MacOS 26 screwed up folder icon caching. (2023 M3 iMac w/ 24 GB of RAM and no memory pressure)

this happens not every time but multiple times a day

It's always lovely when someone in the shared office space decides to have a Teams call on his speakers. Who needs head phones anyway?

Can't figure out if that's anti-social or too social.

Ugh I'm getting tired of the endless openings of dessert and novelty drink venues in the CBD. I don’t have a sweet tooth, and I don’t want to spend any disposable income I have on sugary food/liquids.

I suppose these places are popular partly because they're cheap to run and they fit with a cost of living crisis (cheap treats), but god I'm bored with them. Not to mention the endless plastic cups produced for the sugary coffee-based drinks.
