What cheeses me off

you get warranty for the reasonable life of the product already built in.

Correct.
Extended Warranties are usually not worth anything

I've had good warranty replacement for small appliances that you can take back to Harvey. They just replace it.

My credit card payment with Bankwest due date was on the 4/11. Money out of my WP account on Wednesday and still not cleared by BW today. I need to spend a bit of money tomorrow so just transferred some money and I know it will clear overnight.

Really p!ssing me off

Today was the turn of the CBA They wanted to see Mrsdrron to confirm her details about our SMSF. Now I had already confirmed those details a month ago with a letter from our accountant. I was silly enough to think that they would just need to confirm who she was. Oh no they wanted everything from the ABN of the SMS to the auditors name. And then the agent had to confirm with someone in authority that it was OK if we didn’t have all that there today. She was on hold for about 45 minutes.

Then Mrsdrron went to withdraw some cash from her account whilst I got some USD out of my USD account. I have done this many times before and I always ring and make sure that they have some on hand. She told me that was useless as we send the foreign currency to Brisbane nearly every day and they don’t reserve it for anyone So another 45 minutes gone. All up we were there for 2 hours.

But the last thing I said was that I had made the right decision having most of the SMSF’s shares with CMC.

This applies I know but WREALYCMO this week is that the gods from LOTFAP are all about individual freedom but Facebook are now started to feed Reels into one’s feed and there’s SFA one can do about it. Now way to stop them sending you this cough, no way to complain to them about it.

When the airline announces boarding simultaneously with an announcement of no wifi and no onboard entertainment. Given the flight was delayed, they likely knew ahead of time but didnt think to warn the passengers (ie it would have been nice to have some time to download content for the trip).

When a student tells you that you didn't explain or teach something to them, but you clearly remember that they were in class when you taught it.

OK students can have short memories, but the instance the other day probably hurt more because the student seemed to give off an impression that not only did I not do it, but I was trying to gaslight them.

Given that at least one third of the class seemed to be getting on with it in some capacity, this sort of annoyed me as it wasn't that I had genuinely not taught this thing, or had done such a bad job at it that it was just like I never taught it.

While students may not be expected to learn entirely by themselves without any guidance (even the really good students), at some point good students (not just in grades, but in behaviour/attitude/habits) must exercise a degree of initiative.

OK rant over... teacher out...
