Modern Annoyances

My car Bluetooth stopped working - partially. Half way thru a Boogie Monster podcast on the way to work it went kaput. Only "Media Disconnected" seemed to be the issue because it clearly showed Bluetooth still available on both my phone and car. I could still make a hands free call - if I ever made phone calls.

So of course that meant trouble shooting, and google searches, and more google searches, and testing, and removing apps, and factory resets, and reinstalling stuff.

Time.
So much time dedicated to this.

Time spent trying to resolve the issue and time spent considering alternatives.

Bluetooth in my car is not something important for survival. Its not on the first layer of Maslows hierarchy. But still, its something Ive come to enjoy and rely on. It improves my daily commute to and from work. It keeps me informed and entertained.

And its an annoyance that consumes too many brain cycles when it has a hiccup.

This morning it automagically started working fully again. Not because of any steps I took or time I spent researching how to fix this. It just. started. working.

So now we wait.
Wait until it happens again.
