I need some form of puppy Alcatraz for Luci Furr. She is eating through her enclosures, destroying furniture and fixtures, eating bibles and rare sheet music, destroying her own beds, gutting all of the dog toys, and she broke my laptop.

I just had a walk for mine! I’m also working from home today and my internet is out so I can’t actually work. Come by if you want.

Melistress @melistress.bsky.social · 2d

I’m so irritated.

A single customer who is going to be in a good mood when they are trying to repair what is now an essential service and they have to battle bots just to get to a service technician. Talking to humans worked. Exactly how many have had their service fixed by a bot?

Melistress @melistress.bsky.social · 2d

Book an appointment for tomorrow for someone to come in. And I’m trying to work from home because the office is renovating. So…I guess I’m not working today and possibly not until noon tomorrow. Dear @telussupport.bsky.social STOP with the automated bots. It is aggravating as fuck. There isn’t

Melistress @melistress.bsky.social · 2d

I am without internet for the day. I spent all morning trying to figure out how to call @telussupport.bsky.social, doing battle with their “customer service” bot both online and on the phone, then getting some snarky asshole and spending 45 minutes on the phone with him, 15 of which was just to

So may people were there including representation from many other unions. Without teachers we don’t have nurses, doctors, engineers, business owners, CEOs, politians, lawyers, social workers, city planners - every kind of worker. Teachers are the foundation for the entire operation of civilization.
