Your First World Problems

[jamil]

This is more of a first world dilemma, but I suppose it’s essentially a problem. by wearing my watch within about 10 ft of my macbook I can unlock it without having to use the finger-print scanner. I mean you can imagine how inconvenient that is.

But, the computer has to have Bluetooth turned on. I use bluetooth headphones to do online meetings with teams. I use the same Sony 1000XM4 headphones to connect to my phone, simultaneously. So then it’s a problem when I’m not working because every time I get out of range with my headphones, the connection cuts on and off with my MacBook and it’s annoying.

All the ways to solve that has something that sucks. So the least suckage is to remember to turn the Bluetooth off on the MacBook when I’m done with work so that it’s not constantly trying to connect with the headphones. But then I have to use the fingerprint scanner to log in because the Watch has to be connected via Bluetooth.

I think I’m probably going to have to use some points from my Amazon card to buy a pair of air pods to use for the phone, and use the sony’s for meetings.

These guys are making some noise building my kid's tyrannosaurus sized swingset. Don't they know I'm trying to watch the baseball game on my day off?

I expect much more for my $100 installation fee.

Working from home, I use my lunch hour to take a nap, and set the alarm on my phone to wake me up. Today I got a spam call 15 minutes before my alarm was set to go off.

My lines! My lines!

I have to have straight lines. I curse that damn thing every time I mow.

Well, the acronyms should be GINO and CDO... in alphabetical order like they should be!

The one today was some kind of garbled recording. I have no clue what it was for, but I blocked the number as I always do. Now if I could just figure out how to block spam texting numbers...

Watching a free movie on my 72" LED smart tv via youtube and can't get the subtitles to work so I don't know what the ancient egyptians in the move are saying.

My new zero turn mower was delivered today. It arrived on a pallet with framing around it. I had to bust up the framing and then raise the mower so I could slide the pallet out from under it. Thankful I had some camper jacks handy.

I didn't even know that the ancient Egyptians had video technology back then! They really were an advanced civilization.

Maybe you could have the car shipped to California and fly out to drive it.

CDO is a real thing.

CDO is a real thing.

I know. I'm afflicted with it! And I've got the scar tissue on the inside of my lip to prove it after learning to understand and accept internet typos, text shorthand, etc.. I even re-arrange the dishwasher if DoggyMama has put things in there where they don't belong.

I load it with unloading it in mind, so I group like things together. Dinner plates with dinner plates, bowls with bowls, etc.. I know it's nuts but dammit, I can unload a dishwasher like nobody's business!

Send the car ahead using the onboard cameras to record the trip, fly out and review the video then send it back recording the trip and review the video. Easy peasy.

Have you done a cost/benefit analysis to see if the extra time spent loading the dish washer is made up for by the quicker unload time?
