to think that I have finally lost it....

[PyongyangKipperbang]

....because I just made three attempts to stick my earphone jack in my ear and couldnt work out why it kept falling out.

Not quite managed to work out what I was going to do with the earphone itself! Get pissed off with there not being an earphone port on my laptop, presumably.

I mean....for fucks sake....

Go to bed.

I wish I could! Only got home from work 2 hours ago, brain still buzzing....on the decaff though so I am gradually winding down :o

🤣😂

Lol, good luck.

I know you are prob sleep-deprived but I find when earphones don't fit,it is because they should be fit L to left ear & R to right ear xx

I'm not trying to be patronising in any way.

Many times I've struggled & my 13 year old will say to me...L for left & R for right xx

I think sometimes they f us up for no reason but most times it is the simple things that can mess our older brains up lol xx

When I say the jack I mean....

I actually RANG my mother in Ireland (because she could clearly help) to tell her that I had lost my phone. I did this, from my phone.

About 10 days ago, I rang an office I needed to speak with. I was put on hold and listening to the music for a while as I got on with other business on my laptop - I was on hold with the usual music. Eventually, UP pops this voice 'Hi, this is James, how can I help you?' After I recovered from the initial shock of leaping 2 foot in the air at the sound of my fucking phone suddenly talking to me, I then had to ASK HIM who he was. I had forgotten who I had called.

Still can't remember! I suspect it was Sky. Note to self. Ring Sky.

I am wondering if you are me....because I could have conceiveably NC and posted this and then forgot!

Tell them from me they're a shower of cunts. Don't forget!

I was super frustrated at work one day. Spent 15-20 mins trying to figure out why my mouse wouldn't point to my bloody calendar. As I picked up the phone to call IT I realised what the problem was. The calendar was blu-tacked to my wall. Regardless of how good the IT person was, I don't think they could make that set up work!

Might I add, that it is not off the ground I licked it. 3 weeks ago I had my mother suggesting all sorts of places that I might have left my phone. Is it in the bedroom? The bathroom? Could it have fallen down somewhere? Try the cupboards? The fridge - you might have put it in there while you were taking out milk? yes i put my phone in the fridge by accident
Yes, I inherit my genius from my mother.

I feel so much better now! I am not the only leaky brained fuckwit in the world!

It was a bit comedic for a while.

James wanted to verify who I was. I was like 'who DA FUCK ARE YOU?' Then James was like 'You've called us Ismi'. Not to be scammed I was like 'stop calling me'. He then clarified who he was calling from and that I could end the call when I liked. I didn't like so I hung up FIRST!
