Mate, shit happens. Make the best you can of the situation. Lessons learned all round and the salt mines have a new volunteer.
 
Just ate a large scoop of yoghurt that was 2 weeks past the best before. It was unpleasant.
 
LTIH -I have a nice black jacket that I paid a pretty penny for some years ago...that I will not be able to wear in public ever again - fuckwits.
 
When it comes to the world of mobile phones, i run a prepaid set up. My monthly needs fluctuate quite a bit so i don't purchase the same amount each month. I usually have a significant roll over as well.

So last month i attempted to buy a small package and use up the roll over...I almost made it the full cycle too! I came up short this morning by a few days. This hasn't happened in a long time...and now the saga of recharging the phone without data ( as if i have wifi in the house!) begins.

I used to be able to just do a text based recharge on the phone, not anymore. I used to be able to access the providers website to recharge, not anymore. I used to be able to phone a robot and do it over the phone, not anymore. So I ride to the near by post office newsagent thing to buy a recharge. Of course there is a line with 2 old men at the front. One (not so old, probably in his 50s) is having a "why is life so hard moment?" which i can empathise with only his is about sending a parcel and every little step is drama...yep that's right buddy you need to put your address on the slip...oh fuck me the shop assistant is doing this for him. Next in line is a proper old guy and he is getting all angsty, clearly wants his 3000000 minutes of fame. Fuck it, im not waiting any longer. I ride to the servo...where the attendant misheard my request for a recharge as needing a charger. He opens the cupboard and shows me what he has, these are the only brands of charger we have...no my person, credit recharge...oh. now being a busy servo a sizeable line of people just wanting to pay for their petrol and fuck off is growing behind me. Give me the big top up! Tap...and declined. Fuck me it am out of money. I step to the side so others can do their thing while I male myself liquid again. Of course without any data on the phone I cant do this so I am back to the house for some cash. By now I just want coffee and there is a post office near the cafe I am heading to so its worth a shot. Thank fuck! They do have what I need. They don't mind me paying in cash. I am human again! Except now I get to be drawn into a conversation about all the whacked out big data big credit big bank big government cashless economy compulsory ID and on and on...which i have a tendency to enjoy and certainly agree with a little bit of, so...ahhhhh fuck it! Have you ever looked at Japan's economic collapse at the end of the 1980s? What do you mean? Do your own research (fucking love using that in these situations at the moment) but...it is a clear cut easy to follow case of economic espionage by the imf and world bank. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Oh yeah their economy existed outside of that sphere of control so those manipulators crashed their economy and it still hasn't recovered. Dude pulls out a note pad and pen, takes notes...now I need to find a reason to go back to the post office in a week or 3.
