We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.

If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.

Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven't even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don't have time when I'm working to figure these things out.

Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!

That completely stopped working for me a while ago, but Samsung's Reminders app was able to do it well.

I started using it instead, and the other day, uninstalled the Google Assistant app - the only time I was opening it was by accident, when I'd drift off to sleep holding my phone, and he rudely awoken by the noise it made.

My mother was a registered nurse and has her head on fairly straight, but she worked with plenty of nutso people.

Being a part of the medical field does not automatically make you an expert in all things health related. In fact, it seems to give some of them a false sense of superiority.

I'm very happy for them to change the date, as long as they don't remove it altogether.

Public holidays give me something to look forward to when I'm feeling burnt out with work.

It should probably be kept in summer because Aussies love a BBQ, but personally I wouldn't mind winter as I love the cold.

Get yourself a guy who looks like Aragorn but cooks like Samwise. 😍

They've both got heart.

I've seen some very small statured people working in big chains here. I don't think Maccas and their ilk would be taking the risk of illegally employing children, at least not in countries like Australia.

Also, if this is a young child, is it not a bit wrong to be sharing their image around like this?..

I have taken up cross stitching and can spend an entire day just sitting and working on a one.

I want to watch ALL THE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES before I die (well the ones that interest me), but my hands get bored so usually I'll play Switch games but then I'm often not really paying a lot of attention to either thing.

With cross stitching, I can get focused if it's a difficult part or I've made a mistake, but mostly I can follow the plot of the show/film much better.

Plus I get a lovely physical "trophy" at the end, and have given a few as gifts.

Good to know that when I'm doing my raccoon eyes, I'm getting an additional layer of protection from the sun!

I always just assumed those cultures, along with Captain Jack Sparrow, just did it because it looks cool.

The more you know! 🌈🌟

I gave up on it entirely probably a year or so ago, as I found if anything it was getting worse.

My understanding is that the words and phrasing, and the overall scam, are a filter for idiots. Only the dumbest need apply.

We have to deal with them at the moment because we're staying with an elderly relative and her house, her rules - fair - and she is worried about switching providers. If something did go wrong and she lost her number, it would be pretty awful. So we're stuck with Telstra.

We're on our third modem with them in a little over a year (had to get a decent one, working from home). The absolute shit fight to get it replaced each time only served to reinforce that we are entirely correct on our views of their business. They have made it as tangled a web as Centrelink (another org that we have luckily not had to deal with in some time), and their customer service is basically non existent.

To their credit, their store staff did their best to help but their hands were so incredibly bound by red tape that there wasn't much to they could do. Also, the credit we were promised after the second go around was never applied to the account. Wasn't worth our time to chase it, because we actually value our time and have wasted enough of it.

And that's just one consumers experience.

The stuff they do on a national level is absolutely shameful. They need to be broken up.
