I hope you're both feeling better.
Yes, we are, thanks! We were totally miserable for a bit over a week, though.
My own infection was brief and lightly felt, but yeah. We need eradication of the Pandemic, not endemicity.
I switched my mobile phone service from AT&T (they were about to start charging $6 more per month!) to T-Mobile. Same service at just over half the cost. Simple, right? So I get my new SIM card in the mail and when I put it in my phone, it asks for an unlock code (which I don't have). T-Mobile customer service tells me they need me to get a transfer PIN from AT&T and my phone's IMEI. Then I still have to tell AT&T to remove my phone from service and close my account. Then, I find out my number's been changed so I have to go back to T-Mobile customer service to get my old number ported in. Three hours later, I finally have my T-Mobile service and my old phone number back. AAAAUGH!! I think I tore out about half my hair by the roots.
In a completely unrelated matter, I thought the Levo treatment I was undergoing was starting to help my tinnitus, but I seem to have reached a plateau. It's still bad in the right ear and just not getting better. I'm waiting to hear from my audiologist regarding the next course of action.

I moved to T-Mobile several months ago from AT&T although I did the switch at a T-Mobile store which ended up with a $50 charge per line (3), but everything was done right there. My cell bill went from about $175 to $90 with autopay.
One thing that has been frustrating me lately is this damn song that's been stuck in my head for days, for no reason at all.
Most people have to deal with this; it's really common. There's a popular song with a catchy chorus you keep thinking of, or some annoying commercial jingle that you've heard every 5 minutes for days. It makes sense that you would think of it.
Me? Nope, none of that. I have a song that I haven't heard in many years stuck in my head, and it's not a good song, or important to me in any way. It's not even a song you'd hear on the radio or in a grocery store.
This is my brain for the past two days:
"Head, shoulders, knees and toes.
(knees and toes)
Head, shoulders, knees and toes.
(knees and to-oh-oh-oes)
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes!
(knees and toes)."
Goddamnit, brain. I hate you.

I know what you mean. I have a similar prob with a song from Winnie the Pooh.
My home remedy in this case is to kill one ear worm with an other: mahna-mahna!
(open at own risk!)

Okay...I didn't want to have to do this...but I'm gonna have to bust out the big guns here:
Gilbert and Sullivan were absolute geniusses when it comes to earworms. Thanks for reminding me! I have all their operas on DVD and haven't watched them in ages. Just the thing for next weekend =)
Frustration today: was in a hurry and crawled for 20 kilometers behind a car that went about 60 kmh where 100 were permitted. And no chance to overtake him on the whole stretch. I could have killed the moron.
Some will argue that the limits exactly that, not a target but there is also the 'making good process' definition which says you should drive upto the limit if road conditions allow.
I'd question if the conditions were good then was the driver in proper control.
I find it worse here Sunday afternoons, drivers taking it very steady. If I was a police officer I'd pull them over and breathalise them as would suspect the couple of pints with Sunday lunch was making them take it steady.
Newscasters announce an upcoming clip but first explain everything in the clip thus removing reason to watch the clip. Shut up and run the clip!
Or news articles that embed a tweet, then spend the next paragraph quoting the tweet we just read. We really only need one or the other.
This is going to cross over from the Maple Leaf Lounge thread: we're expecting another visitation from the Convoy Crowd tomorrow for Canada Day. They're "promising" to stay all summer or until Trudeau surrenders his office to Poilievre, Bernier or someone of similar mindset. Whichever ends first. Not happy at all, and the public safety establishment seems to be better prepared this time around. So, too, local residents who don't want a return to the Siege of this past winter. We'll see.
