elusivekAh... Office talk..... non-stop. And still on the same few topics.
So during the 3 week or so lockdown we had, the electricity company (monopoly here) did not issue any electricity bills, because of the lockdown, there was no meter reading (it's manual) and so, when they finally issued the bills after the lockdown, they are for an exorbitant amount.
Everyone's complaining.
"HEY! It's like 3 times our usual monthly bill!"
"Even with the government subsidy it's more than what I would have paid?"
"The electricity company is scamming us money!"
erm...........
May I point to the fact......................
It was the lockdown, you stayed at home longer than if you were at work, so I'd assume your air con has also been running all while you were at home.
Also. It's an accumulated 2 to 3 months bill.
So, when people have complained about it 2 weeks ago and the matter is settled, can you stop complaining, at least for now? At least, until the next bill comes out, and you can see again that, YES, prices have gone up when you can compare apple to apple? Like. Shut. Up. For. Now??
Sorry, I'm at my wits end with listless gossip.
Also, after I've recovered from the 4th shot and thought "Life is good now", my monthly friend decides to visit on Monday so I had a really crappy start of the week. Usually I'd just suffer through the cramps, but I thought this time, I've suffered a weekend already, so I broke out the paracetamol and just took some.
I don't know if the YouTube algorithms are working correctly or not, but I have no idea why it's pushing so much US politics, specifically LGBT(and others, sorry I'm not up to date with the terms). My watch history is mainly True Crimes. So. No idea why I'm getting Ben Shapiro so frequently. And that other younger girl... Amala? Can't spell her last name sorry.
I don't have anything to do with the US so I shouldn't say much... but... there's just not really as much "freedom" as it's claimed to be. Everyone's busy being offended by each other's opinion. Where's the basic respect? And about not agreeing with you but defending your right to say it? (Voltaire?)
Ah, well. I should apply that to myself. Colleagues. Feel free to chat all you want. I'm just going to mosey over and hide in the Boss' office. (As long as you people get your work done I don't even care anymore).
