I've read all the spoilers so it won't be too shocking.

I'm going in, I'm going to watch severance ...lol

Well that's a bummer. Wiring is fried in a very weird way so no bueno getting dishwasher repaired ๐Ÿ˜ž have to wait for them to send the report to the manufacturer who will only then inform me if I get a replacement or refund. Which will be Tuesday at the earliest. At least I was lucky enough to get the tech in today... Looks like handwashing is on the cards for this weekend ๐Ÿ˜ญ

If I was handy with electronics at all I'd hope for a refund and then try to fix the electronics myself, but I barely have enough brain power to struggle through the days so I'll just wait.

Plus side is today is Severance and The Pitt release day ๐Ÿฅณ And I have got my antibiotics after the dr was late by half an hour, and my laundry is all done. I might get some soup from the shops because I cbf cooking today. though kimchi fried rice is definitely on the cards for the weekend.

Sometimes it's nice to be "officially" sick because that lets me finally relax my nervous system. That's kinda sad too but anyway

Give 'em some pushback. If it's a wiring fault, then your relationship is with the retailer, they sold you something that was defective. They can take it up with the manufacturer themselves and leave you out of it.

I'll wait to see what they say after they get the report from the repair tech. You bet if they refuse a refund/replacement, or the replacement takes an ass amount of time, I'll be kicking up a fuss. Kind of hoping for a refund so I can just buy something else off Appliances Online asap and have them take away this unit

I agree with Taleya, should be up to the retailer with an instant refund or return no questions asked in this case.

I hope that you didn't have to pay for someone to come out to look at the dishwasher.

Friday! At my secondary work site.

All quiet here today for the moment, there are some big wigs here today so I'm going to try my best to stay out o their way though one is camped in the staff room, that's going to be inconvenient for making coffee.

Hopefully not much to do today but at the same time there's only so much I can do to keep myself occupied.

I think it's about time I bought myself a stand up paddle board.

Been watching Lattouf V ABC and surprised today how on the back foot the ABC is with their closing arguments. Lots of awkward, grasping answers given by their defence team to questions posed by the judge.

I'm generally a big ABC fan, but I'm appalled both that this happened, and that they've spent so much public money trying to defend something that's clearly indefensible.

There's a concurrent scandal at the BBC , they used officials and family of officials in interviews while pretending they were everyday people and also faked translations to make the interviewee more acceptable and to lie about events and motivations for actions.
