Let’s not wait until the last moment again and end up posting on Saturday and Sunday, shall we? I hear that I may be alone tomorrow anyway, so I’ll feel like doing this even less, even if it’s just a personal post. Not that I’m exactly sure what the other one will be about this week, so I may even end up with two personal ones and have that buffer fall back to two, unfortunately. But let’s hope that won’t happen, because I certainly have several things that I mean to write about, including what should be a pretty short one about the Euro, analyzing the situation before the last round of group matches. I should at least manage to post that, if nothing else…
Should also have the “monthly computer maintenance day” tomorrow, leaving it to verify things while I’ll see what else I’ll feel like doing while alone. And I may also install this major WordPress update that just became available, so let’s see if it’ll break anything, which is what I keep fearing every single time, considering the ancient theme I’m using. That’s why I tended not to install major updates for a long time after release ever since 2.7, if not even earlier, preferring to wait at least until after the first maintenance update and sometimes even more than that, but this time I find myself thinking that I might as well try and get it over with.

In other news, my opinion of this hypermarket that I go to when I buy things just dropped significantly after I noticed that they charged me too much for something last time, which was last Monday. The difference is less than 2 RON and they might have done it once before, back in January, when the difference was exactly 3 RON, but back then I knew that I hadn’t looked well and I might have seen the wrong price, so couldn’t exactly accuse them of it. This time I’m sure and, while in itself it might be an honest mistake, the real problem is that they didn’t even bother to reply when I let them know about it.
I only noticed the issue when I got back, so let’s say that it was partly my fault as well, but I immediately sent them an e-mail about it, plus a second one the next day to add the scanned receipt as proof, expecting at least an apology if not also a coupon to print or something with a value at least equal to the difference. Then I even sent another message two days ago, this time through their site, just in case the e-mails got lost or weren’t sent to the right address for such complaints, and still got nothing, so I guess I’ll need to go somewhere else the next few times. The difference was tiny, but I want to take over 100 times that amount, so at least 200 RON, away from them for their attitude, even if it’ll probably imply a fair amount of trouble on my end, especially when it comes to getting back with the stuff now that it’s starting to be so hot outside.
