When you smuggly buy 2 kg of your favourite coffee beans (Coffee #1 house roast) ahead of lockdown thinking they will last until the shop opens again, then run out of them and buy Costa Beans on eBay only to find out that they are beans from the Costa Coffee Rainforest Alliance - and not the beans you get in the shop and as a result a weak as piss.
Coming to the end of the Costa beans and Coffee #1 not open so will try some Cafe Nero.
Yeah, itās not that I canāt find an alternative supplier.
Itās that I now have to spend ages trying to find a bean/blend/roast that I like.
I experimented for ages in the past and had to drink lots of average or throw beans away before I found something I really liked.
WTF is wrong with big standard Nescafe Red Mug?
Worldās gone mad

My old company are hibernating as best they can
Not many conferences these days. Still innovating & doing some virtual gigs.
Anyway they did not renew āunnecessaryā software subscriptions - no issue EXCEPTā¦
My whole Gmail/Google Drive access was canned.
No problem I have a personal android account or 3.
But. Because the default setting on Chrome on my laptop was the work one, now I cannot Sync anything to my own Google account on my laptop.
Photos on fone are going to the cloud fine.
But when I open my personal Google photos account on my laptop they arenāt there.
Nothing since mid April.
Is this a case of needing to reinstall Chrome?
Deleting cache or something? Been through all the settings & help menus. Nothing.
Help?
Is it showing your account in the top right hand corner of the chrome browser or something else??
In any case click on your icon and then click on add and add your current Google account.
Nope I DMād a couple of screenshots

This hasnt annoyed me yet, but its going to
One of our customers uses a large RPO organisation to manage their recruitment. They are implementing a chatbot to answer questions regarding contractors and the recruitment process. I can already hear the grinding of teeth from recruiters up and down the land. They even have the audacity to say this will improve service.
Why not just say, we have run out of ways to gouge you recruiters, so in an attempt to keep our cost saving promises to the client when we tendered for this gig, we are firing all of our staff and replacing them with several thousand lines of shite code.
Actually I am annoyed ā¦about the prospect of inevitable future annoyance

Fuckinā bike riders!
Three fuckinā Mountain bike riders, on footpaths to be exact, early in the morning on a narrow fenced path through a Nature Reserve. Inconsiderates spook little Molly and she runs for the hills.
Cunts. 
SO I had to buy a new All in one printer the other day as my old one died and was slow and cranky when waking up.
So I purchased an HP printer and decided to go for the instant Ink option, I considered Ā£6 a month for 50 pages good value considering the price of ink. Also comes with a 5 month unlimited free trail.
So that was on the 11th, 10 days ago and since then the cartridges that come with the printer have run out (they never put a lot in them anyway).
My āinstantā ink cartridges have only just been dispatched and are due to arrive in 2 days time!! Meanwhile Mrs BTripz wants me to print stuff off for herā¦

You must learn to forgive yourself. Have you tried Yoga?
I have the HP All in one with the free ink cartridges. For me itās worked well as I donāt print much so I went for the free option and you just have to pay a nominal amount if you exceed your allocated number of sheets.
You do have to leave the printer connected all the time for the remote monitoring.
I signed up for the Ā£6 a month because of the 5 month free trial, Iāll see how many I print a month, I suspect it will be over the 10 pages for the free scheme but somewhat under the 50, however you can carry unused pages overā¦
I just hope they deliver my next cartridges quickerā¦

Just had notification that my new lease car has been registered and it just remains for me to complete the lease documents and email them back to set the ball rolling for a delivery date in early June.
Nothing particularly annoying about that, except the registration plate reads BJ 20 ***fuck, I hate Boris Johnson.
On the other hand BJ is also the abbreviation for something a lot more palatable.
