I want to change my flight and can’t do it on the @KenyaAirways app. Last time I used their whatsapp chat and it was quick and efficient. This time it’s been 6 hours since I requested the change with no response. What’s happening?

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

@PolarGlobal Thanks. It’s when I updated it recently that the trouble started with constant sign in requests. I think in all the previous 4 years or so I’d only been asked to sign in once.

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

What is with the latest Polar flow app, @PolarGlobal? I used to happily go for months (or even years) without signing in. Now it’s so frequent. I just want the app to work and you keep sending me to the browser to sign in. So annoying.

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

@OUTsurance I will do so thank you. Please do NOT ask them to phone me: that’s precisely what I want to avoid.

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

Why can’t I update my @OUTsurance policy in the app (remove a vehicle, change details of another)? They’re obsessed with calling. I don’t want to speak to them. I emailed and followed up over a week later. Still waiting. Last time I spoke to them they misspelt half the inputs.

@JHBWater Thank you but it’s still absolutely gushing out. No sign of anyone to repair?

Fellow @UN colleagues: if you’re thinking of getting a @UNFCU account; don’t. I was named as the beneficiary on my late father’s account. They make very challenging demands for paperwork, no appreciation that we work across the globe. I feel unheard and frustrated.

@DeanMacpherson You should also talk to us in @UNOPS_ESAfr as the UN agency mandated in infrastructure. We have some very skilled transaction advisors ready to help with robust project preparation in a non-partisan manner.

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

I got an auto response from the email address saying they were busy. That’s a full day ago and no communication since. Seriously?

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

Hi @PolarGlobal - your latest app update is a problem. I can’t even open the app since updating on the @AppStore

Joburg water is throttling some people’s water supplies and at the same time takes days to respond to reports of leaks.
We’ve been waiting nearly a week and still no action. Steady, flowing leak upstream of our meter.

Such a poor experience at @Safaricom_Care village market. Massive waiting times, too few staff on duty, no logic in sequence of service.
Second time I’m back this week after having to abandon my slot the first time owing to long wait.

I never realized how much your default vibe of open or closed changes things. get stuck on “open” and life turns into perpetual small‑talk mode: every coffee order becomes a conversation, every Uber, changing in the locker room, walking down street people stop you to say hi

Superbly designed by our Technical Services Unit, under the leadership of @mainagatongi and managed on site by the excellent @MewaelAddis

Great to visit Somalia’s first Natl. Blood Bank.

The @UNOPS-built facility is equipped with state-of-the-art tech to screen, prepare & securely store blood products.

With @UNFPA @WHO & the govt, we’re closing critical gaps in emergency care with resilient health infrastructure.

The ‘new’ app from @PPS_SA is just dire. It took ages to launch, has an annoying login process, is not user friendly and the last few times I’ve made top up investments their system defaults to a collection date of 1900(!) no matter what I enter. Come on PPS up your game please.

Looking forward to opening the Infrastructure Indaba hosted by CESA this morning in Johannesburg on the work we are doing to turn South Africa into a construction site that grows our economy and creates jobs. #LetsBuildSA 🇿🇦💙

[susan snaddon @afroblonde]

So what’s up with @sarstax?
On 9 November I’m told I’ll get feedback (and a sizeable refund) in 21 days. After multiple follow ups I get a text at the end of January that it’s been allocated to a SARS official. And now it’s almost March and I’ve heard nothing.

Hello @DWPgovuk
I am trying to fill gaps in my pension record as I’ve been living and working abroad.
I’m told I have to call the Future Pensions line and I get cut off as soon as I select 1 for English. Several times.
