THE AUDACITY

 

Just when you think it's all over.

I get a generic email from Kiwibank.

ABOVE:  As a valued Kiwibank Customer bla bla bla ... please fill in our survey on your recent visit.

SO I HAPPILY DID.  I don't think they will like my feedback.  I was perfectly honest and said what I thought.  I wonder if I will still go into the draw to win $500 ?  Probably not, seeing as I'm no longer a Kiwibank customer eh?  Bugger.  😂😅
Moving on.  This morning I have a few errands to run, out and about.

Picking up a prescription being top of the list.  I might even do some retail therapy... I feel like I need it.

IF it's not raining I will go for a walk first.

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

It's raining.  So I'm going down to the gym to use the treadmill.  Then I will go out and about.  Not a nice day at all, but well, we did need the rain right?

11.10 am.  30 minutes on the treadmill... happy enough with that.  Then I caught the last 20 minutes of Coffee & Chat.  

Now?  I'm going to find a runner to give my WW Coach, by way of a 'Thank You' for her support and encouragement to me over the past 7 + years here in Hamilton.

This evening is Andrea's last WW meeting.  She is 'retiring' from being a coach after tonight, so I am going to attend her last meeting, then never go again.  I have already cancelled my membership in fact.  I'm paid up until the end of this month, so can attend tonight.

What ya doing?  I've been trimming placemats, getting them ready to put their backing fabric on ... probably tomorrow.

Here's a curly question.

What do you do, IF ANYTHING, when you KNOW 100% a friend of yours on Facebook (and real life) has blocked you from seeing their Facebook updates?

ABOVE:  You have to make a conscience decision, and take the necessary steps to do it.  You can't do it by accident.  

As the recipient of such an action, I am left wondering WHY?  Why would you do that?  I haven't done a damn thing to offend or upset you, that I know of.

Have any of you had this happen to you?  What did you do?

I messaged this friend, and asked her why I could no longer see her posts.  Just got told "I am still posting".   ????  WTF?

Shit like this does my head in.

I have not approached her again BTW.  If she is 'ghosting' me, so be it I suppose.  One less friend?

When things like that happen, I really do stew about it.  I wish it didn't bother me that much, but it does.  

It is almost time to head off to my last ever WW meeting.  I have three Runners for Andrea to choose from.

Well... after being a Weight Watcher member, on and off, for 45 years... I'm done.  I won't be re-joining ever again. End of an era.

I'm now doing it alone.

It's 9.15 and I'm waiting for Coronation Street to start, then after that I'll be off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.

    LOL, pity you couldn't publish your survey answers here Chris, bit of light reading to start the day. The error I can understand but the arrogant attitude of the employee, now that would have pushed my bitch button 1000%. Have a fab Tuesday, Michele PN

    Your issue with being blocked? My opinion, it’s Facebook, it’s not real life, I couldn’t care if someone blocked me, I’m on Facebook a lot, in fact if someone blocked me I wouldn’t even notice or care. I care about real people. Possibly why some call is Fakebook

  5. No idea how to do that option but i would delete them from my friend list ( my profile is locked do then they wouldnt be able to see anything
    I was moderater in a group and suddenly became just a member. I sent admin a pm asking why and got some odd answer that she wasnt near a computer or something like that. She never got back to me. She asked for help managing the group 🤷‍♀️. I ended up leaving the group as I wasn’t getting anything from the group anyway

  6. It’s a hard one to navigate, time give it time.

    We’ve gone from hot n humid to overcast windier and cool.

    Hopefully a good sleep tonight.

    Yes it would have to be a conscience decision. I wouldn't worry, it may have nothing to do with you and it may be that your friend is limiting all her interactions with people on her FB profile except for family etc 🤷‍♀️

  8. I'm not on Facebook but I know folks who are & some have cut down on time spent on it due to some very negative/hurtful comments. Perhaps this friend is going through a very difficult time & put a limit on who can see updates until crisis passes.
