Finding Waterproof Hokas Are Irritating
I remembered that I had posted this in late December, and it must have been a portent of what’s in store for 2025 .

Spectrum Service Update Emails are Funny and Irritating
Okay, I lied. I didn’t stop. Gotta give it to Spectrum to send this Service Update email. Yes, Spectrum, the television, phone, and Internet service provider… not the electricity provider.
The email is funny stating “Your power company is taking longer than expected” and that Spectrum will provide another update in three hours. I mean that’ll be around 8pm at night. I don’t think I’ll need a Spectrum Service Email to tell me my power isn’t back as I sit in total darkness if power isn’t restored by then.
Two Power Outages in a Day Is Irritating
First of all, one power outage at home is irritating enough, especially when it happens at lunch time, and you can’t heat up any food and can only drink lukewarm tap water. Compounding that irritiation is HECO’s aggressive service restoration estimate of one hour. Yeah… that was more like two hours from 11:30 to 1:45.
Okay, fine whatever. Power comes back, lunch is eaten, and work is resumed… then the power goes out for a second time today. The HECO outage system says this.
It’s now 4:53pm.
Yes, this is 2025, the year of irritation.
2025 Is the Year of Irritation
Just venting, but 2025 must be themed the year of irritation. Only seven days into the new year, and there’s been a fair share of irritation already.
Why are medical referrals done via fax? And what happens when faxes are sent but consistently not received while other faxes are making it through? What does it mean when you have to pick up a printed referral and drive it to the faxed facility because the faxes are not making it?
Yes, this is 2025.
