It's all been a bit much lately, to be honest. Turns out, a 'sorry we missed you' notification on a day when I had WAITED IN ALL MORNING was the straw that broke the camel's back.
The real lesson here is that I need to refresh my coping mechanisms because something as trivial as missing a delivery, albeit for a replacement internet router because my one inexplicably gave up a few days ago, shouldn't be the thing that makes me cry.

0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of The Emmergand Show, where though I may be smiling, |
0:14.4 | this is an episode brought to you by pure, unadulterated, but hopefully temporary rage, |
0:20.4 | because I am sitting here, having just taught myself off a ledge |
0:24.5 | this episode is coming to you later than usual because my internet went down completely for no |
0:31.7 | reason on Saturday just dropped out and would not come back on I spoke to an engineer who said that it |
0:37.3 | was a power issue |
0:38.3 | and had nothing to do with the internet connection and that what I required was a new hub and a new |
0:43.8 | power cable, but that I would need to speak to somebody else in order to organise that. So the next day |
0:48.1 | I called up, went through a very laborious process, but a new hub and cable was sent my way. They said it was going to arrive on Wednesday and then |
0:57.9 | this morning having cancelled all of my Wednesday appointments to be in for said delivery, |
1:02.2 | I had a notification saying actually it's going to be arriving today between 10 and 2. So I cancelled |
1:08.5 | my day. I rushed back from the gym, which is where I was on my way to |

1:36.5 | This is an episode where I'm just going to ask you to counsel me for reasons that were come |
1:40.3 | obvious. I cannot tell you how frustrating it was. And yes, worse things happen every |
1:45.7 | single day. But it's just so annoying. And my job requires me to have a good, strong internet |
1:53.9 | connection. And I work from home. And recently, this is not about the delivery today. Recently, |
1:59.9 | I feel like I am constantly having to wait |
2:02.6 | in for deliveries or that never arrive, by the way, I have had so many occasions recently where |
