Sloth pays off (mostly)

angelofthenorth and I had planned to go to yoga this morning, but after a disrupted night I slept through my alarm and woke up to a text from her saying that she was going to get the 10:33 bus.

It was 10:28 at that point.

I texted back an explanation and canceled my booking.

Poor thing texted me again an hour later saying the instructor hadn't turned up -- he was listed in the app but not on the staff rota.

There have been all kinds of computer problems: when we went to the gym yesterday she mentioned to the staff that she couldn't book on to the yoga session this Friday without being asked to pay (it should be included in her membership). The person anticipated this problem before she got done explaining it and said a lot of people had encountered the same thing and they couldn't do anything about it there. Really annoying how our city council handed over so many leisure centers and libraries to a CIC that grew out of another council managing theirs; it means the in-person staff can't ever do anything if there's a problem like this or an issue like accessibility.

And while I have an email timestamped 10:28 canceling my booking, it's nestled in my inbox next to one also timestamped 10:28 saying I'm a no-show and I'm going to be charged £3. For a thing that starts at 11! I'm hoping that's just another computer fail too; it seems ridiculously unfair otherwise. I can't be bothered chasing it up now so if it isn't resolved in a few days I'll yell at them but here's hoping that unfucking the computers fixes this for me too.

that's so annoying. Having people IN PERSON to do the things is nearly always better, imo.
