    I don’t know how I feel about the bot using a hyphen instead of a em dash.

    We’ve all learned a lot lately regarding dashes and I don’t feel super comfortable seeing that shortboi take the job of the longboi.

    I managed to avoid a traffic jam due to a down power line thanks to a heads up from my Mum. However, there was a breakdown on the Logan motorway which caused traffic to backup, so I was still late for work.

    Faaark. Early yesterday morning I finally got around to ordering a new phone after my last one was broken on Friday. It was due to be shipped today, which is perfect because I kinda need a working phone this evening.

    Well, just now I checked my email and noticed that:

    Unfortunately, we have had to cancel and refund your order…as it did not meet our customer privacy and security standards when shopping with Officeworks.

    What the fuck Officeworks‽ I ordered through your website. What the fuck is insecure about that‽

        The broken phone was a Pixel 6 Pro, which was originally bought from Google.

        The replacement was meant to be a Pixel 7a, which Officeworks had for over $100 less than the Google store.

        I’ve now bought a Pixel 7a from JBHifi, who have it for just a couple of dollars more than Officeworks (and still $100 less than Google). Gotta go pick it up soon as I did click-and-collect rather than pay—and wait—for shipping.
