Went to work on Monday with a bit of a cold. I stayed home yesterday and today as I'm feeling pretty shit. I'm letting people at work down as I'm acting as a fire spotter for welders. They should be able to find somebody to stand in though. Bugger.

I’m letting people at work down
No, you're not. Your employer is letting everyone down by not having enough staff on hand to be able to cover for this.
Cheers Zag. Yeah they said they'll get another person to stand in for me. It's a huge company so it's not like I'm letting people down in the grand scheme of things. I just feel like I'm letting the small crew down that I was with.
As a higher up supervisor text yesterday, there's plenty of flu and Covid getting around right now.
I'm sure the world will keep on spinning.
I synced by Trakt watchlist with my HTPC and now it has a ~3TB download queue. Doing my best to get roused at by my ISP of late that's for sure.
Speaking of Trakt, just noticed that their VIP has doubled(!!) from $30USD/year to $60USD/year. That's insane pricing for a service that offers so little. It's a glorified playlist manager that copies all its content from other sources. I've cancelled altogether because I actually don't even know what their VIP feature was that I needed anyway. I was just paying cause it was a handy service I didn't mind supporting.
Subscription services be crazy to think doubling the price in one is reasonable at all, let alone when your service is doing so little.
