Can't keep solid food down. Feeling rather poorly and hungry, too. Tried something different: fried up some egg noodles & added just enough of last week's beef & beans soup to thicken into a sauce. That's staying down. Guess I'll have more of the soup for dinner in about 6 hours or so.
I'm using the MBA on my bed, lying on my side. The cat wanted attention so she wandered over & started head-butting my right arm. As cats do. At this stage, she's at one side of the keyboard/trackpad area. She then wandered AROUND the side & front of the laptop to the other side, never once stepping on it. Then repeated the process three more times, never stepping on the laptop at all, even taking extra-long steps to avoid it.
I acquired this cat as a de-sexed, immunised & microchipped 5+-year-old adult.
Other quirky behaviour: she will madly chase the red dot of a laser pointer. If I drag the pointer across my foot, with or without footwear, she will stop the chase, only resuming when the pointer is away from my foot.
Weird.
Just had a phone call from my NBN (National Fraudband Network) case manager: he's trying to get my old phone number reallocated to me.
Not wildly impressed with the way I was transitioned from ADSL2+ to a FTTN connection today. I definitely decided, back in April, to retain my home phone number. The transition was from a PSTN carrier/ISP to the National Fraudband Network (NBN) with a VoIP phone line.
So the carrier/ISP deactivated my NBN work order and placed me, as requested, on a "fix-it-up-in-a-few-months-when-we-have-some-vague-idea-of-what-the-fuck-we-are-doing" list and issued a new work order for a few months down the track.
But it's obviously to hard to recognise that the deactivated order is deactivated FOR A REASON. Some STUPID TWAT reactivated that order & now while my connection speed is more than doubled, I no longer have the home phone number I've been using for the last 17 years. USELES BASTARDS.

An older Mac User Group member complained that after switching to El Crapitan most of his mailboxes had vanished from Mail.app. I suggested hunting in the sidebar for Show/Hide indicators. He reported back that he'd used that method successfully to restore the "missing" items.
@streakmachine It's odd how we've never come up with colloquial-type names like Hoover for fax machines or washing machines. (Vacuum machine)
