It’s a Thursday again. The worst day of the week. Or is it? Disguised as a Wednesday for those south of the border, and a Tuesday for those of us in the land of the Scots.

What are your moans for this day and this week, the first week of the work year?

Personally, I’ve added app timers to all my time sink apps in an effort to become less dependent on my phone. It’s 9.40am and I’ve already maxed out Megalodon, so I’m onto Lemmy/Voyager. Going well.

Also… I’m still off with the kids. Edinburgh schools didn’t break up until the 22nd of December. Which seemed like a good idea at the time, but we’re paying for it now.

    The junior doctors are still on strike (rightly so) which makes work more stressful for the rest of us working short staffed. We’re kind of resigned to it now but there’s not really an end in sight and it just means our patients end up with sub standard care which is all very frustrating. The government really needs to just offer a reasonable deal and pay the people keeping our healthcare system going a decent wage but that’s rather unlikely with our current government I feel.

    I’m just back from Sainsburys with the kids. I always use “the app” to pay for the shopping, but it crapped out today, no doubt due to the poor phone signal on the store (I’m not using their BT wifi), and I suspect the kids popped a two pack of chocolate croissants into the trolley bypassing my scannage. So it’s not even midday and we are already a family of pastry thieves.

    I tried to clean my inkjet, and instead of just cleaning the one colour that was clogged, I thought I may as well flush all of them and now I’ve completely killed my black printhead.

    I was like, screw inkjets then, I’ll buy a laser, but apparently they have a much lower dpi and I’m mostly going to be printing artwork and photo quality and now I don’t know what to do.

    The laser I was looking at is 600x2440 dpi. But my current dead inkjet has 5760x1440 which is a massive difference. I print things for miniature houses so the high res is important. What do I do? I hate inkjets because of the clog.
