When I was briefly on a broadband group with BT our testing services got outsourced to India too and it got ludicrous. You could almost guarantee the response to trying to diagnose a broadband fault in the exchange would be "please power down the card, reseat it and re power it". Never mind the fact you were taking 128 circuits/customers out of service every time you did that. That was 10 plus years ago too, gawd knows how many there are per card these days.
Set off, realised I forgot something so had to run back in the house. Opened the back door of me car and a bottle of wine rolled out covering the drive in glass and my trousers in Red wine. Quick clear up.
Set off again and the bulbs on the nearside of my car blew, sidelight and low beam. Time was pressing on! Had to make an executive decision to try replace them or not. Decided to not...
However, cars were flashing their headlights at me (rightly so) after being on the road for a minute so I diverted my course to the nearest ligthbulbs.
Got the bulbs bought. Couldn't get the light fixture out as I didn't have a screwdriver in my car (I normally carry a multitool). Lucklily I was next to homebase, so went and got what I needed.
I change the low beam light but whilst doing so cut my thumb open resulting in my car interior and clothes having blood all over them. Obviously not ideal with having to hold a plectrum with that thumb.
Sat nav sent me to the wrong location twice.
I arrive 90 minutes late and the band are ready to play. I start setting up and realise I left all my guitar cables in the doorway at home.
Borrow spare cables from the other guitarist.
Amp doesn't appear to be working. First problem is the wall socket isn't working so have to re arrange the entire setup of the stage so I can have some power.
Power to the amp, no sound. Borrowed cables (That look new) are the problem. Borrow more cables!
I got there in the end but it certainly did feel like life was conspiring against me. Always remember, there is someone worse off than yourself. Whilst we were playing (Spirit in the Sky at the exact time of the call), the other guitarists' Mum passed away. We were doing the gig for his Son's 30th birthday. It was also his Mum's birthday was the same day but the family had made a decision to be at the 30th. I'm not going to go into details about that, but obviously an awful situation for them.
I first heard this sentiment expressed by Geoff Thompson - doorman, author, screenwriter etc: "this is a reciprocal universe, what you give out you will get back".
I had to do work from home yesterday, the RAS key didn't work for 2 hours, ended up working 3/4s of the day as my boss had added a deadline, so I blew some family time - it wasn't great, but I learned some stuff about our systems in the struggle.
