So remember my issues with getting the nbn connected? And how it took two weeks from 'connection date' to the day I actually got connected? iinet told me they'd credit me for those two weeks I wasn't connected. It was nbnco's fault, not theirs, but presumably they can get something off nbnco for that. Anyway. They totally credited me the entire first month. By golly gee whizz they're a good mob. They've also been lovely to talk to whenever I've called, either for an eta or for the said bill query or whatever.
Tomorrow the boring tree comes out! And I go and buy a lemon and a lime tree to put in its place. And also bunches of succulents. Sunday is Fathers' Day but we're postponing it til next Sunday, because Colin has his brother-in-law's wedding on tomorrow and will probably be plans on being a bit under the weather by Sunday. So idk, might even get everything planted and pretty pebbles in on Sunday. This is probably unlikely, but we can dream.
I've been looking at home/contents/car insurance and called AAMI last night. I talked to a girl called Amy. She's literally Amy from AAMI. This is almost as good as the TAFE guy who I talked to regularly on the phone back when we had that account at work. He could've just been 'Bill from O'Halloran Hill TAFE,' but no. He owned it. He was 'Bill MacGill from O'Halloran Hill.'
I also bought these for my computer, mostly because they're white and I'm all for aesthetics, with my white monitor and keyboard, but also the old ones were starting to go a bit crackly if they went too loud. And by 'too loud' I mean if I was watching a movie with explosions. Webcam remains black, as does the scanner, old monitor, Wacom and printer. Also the new router from iinet. With the exception of webcams that I'm not trusting for quality, none of these things appear to come in white (or, even better, green) but we're getting there.
