grrr
As I may have mentioned, my laptop battery is flaky. Machine runs off AC power; battery doesn't charge.
Apple have done something to their concierge system. Appointments are no longer released at midnight for the next day. I tried several times to get an appointment for Brent Cross, but it always told me all appointments were booked. I tried Regent Street. It gave me an appointment for Saturday night at 20:20. In frustration, I gave up and booked it.
You see, there was a problem with that time: Neil's playing bridge tonight. So I'd have to take Aliza--meaning, take her in her buggy to Oxford Circus. Not brilliant.
In fact, I just attempted it... and had to give up. I can't manage a laptop, diaper bag, and the buggy, because neither the laptop nor the diaper bag fit in the basket. Or more accurately, I can't manage it for the length of time I'd need to. If I have the buggy, I can't get on at West Finchley; I have to go to Finchley Central. Going to Brent Cross would be OK because it's a single bus directly from my house to BC.
I've just rebooked for Monday (it's a bank holiday, so Neil will be home) but I'm actually going to be really bolshy tomorrow and just show up at Brent Cross and complain. This is not acceptable service--I've tried about a dozen times in the past 2 days and there have been NO slots.
