Checking In - 22 March 2023
Mar. 22nd, 2023 07:29 amI'll be visiting my doctor in person after work today. A month later than we'd originally planned, which is alright. I don't want my GP burned out. I'm just barely managing from week to week myself lately.
(Yes, I'm listening to a news report on doctors' burning out on Ottawa Morning as I type this post.)
More later.

A Little After the 21 May 2022 Storm
May. 22nd, 2022 02:49 amI got back to the old neighbourhood just as the storm system was starting to sweep through and it was after midnight local time before power was first restored here. My first attempt to post this was interrupted by another, briefer outage.
I'm informed that many other people across Ontario and Québec have had rougher times these past twelve hours or so. A handful have been found by their deaths tonight as well.

The printer head cleaning seems to have worked to a point. I've replaced the Cyan cartridge, since that finally exhausted its ink supply. Eventually, I'm going to have to test it to be sure of whatever fixes I've made so far.
Oh, the tablet computer from Air Miles arrived today. I'm letting it warm up to room temperature before I test it out because I walked it home from the post office.

Tech issues postponed the job interview. We'll try again next week, exact date and time to be determined. And this time, I'll have Microsoft Teams at hand to use. And my cell phone bill is finally paid up again, which solves another issue.
(I'm mildly surprised that the desktop Mac version of MS Teams works at all with High Sierra.)
Getting support lined up regarding certain family health issues.
Applied to two jobs today. One application immediately got a "no thank you".
Another application from a couple of weeks ago finally got a "no thank you" of its own. They went with another temp company's candidate, seeing them as better suited. It happens.
No jackpot lottery win for me either.
More on other stuff later.

One More Software/OS Annoyance
May. 27th, 2021 08:59 amNew annoyance that I've been dreading. I've only had this machine running MacOS 10.13.x for about a year. Gifted by a friend from my Mac user group. Now this news re: one of my favourite pieces of software:
