Tech Difficulties Again

 

Another day of tech war!

There was a council bill that arrived last night.  I think this had been put into next door by the idiot postman, anyway he has shoved it through and it arrived with me late on.  I keep suggesting they send the idiot postmen elsewhere but he keeps coming back.  Anyway three white envelopes from different places all begging!

Today I logged into the council 'Portal.'  

This is a new idea designed to make things easier!

It did not.

For a start, some fool forgot to write down his details, or if he did they were not written down where he put them.  So, having searched high and low and found only dust I attempted to guess the details.

Wrong!

So, this and that,and again this and that, an email or two later and I was no better off.

Eventually an answer, phone us they said!

Raging!

The whole idea was to make things easier online, so they suggest using the phone!!!

I do not wish to phone.  This costs money, my phone crackles too much (and is to be fixed soon) and I wish to do things online.  However, I struggled with the council website and found the old way of paying in (no, not by brown envelopes) and completed the job.  Thus satisfied I rested.  

Tech is brilliant when it works, but it does not always work, the details get lost, and, being an idiot, I get it wrong.  I canny imagine what will happen if I fly up to Edinburgh!
