Well yeah, I use a proxy too. Stupid laws n' shit.

Everyone seems to be using Kickass these days. But I just find the site messy and hard to navigate.

Really? Have to say that I find it pretty handy to navigate your way around

Back to work tomorrow thank god. Been off all week and I'm going mad

Incoming Rant.

So I head into work today (my day off I should add) to get some work done a new training course. While I'm in there I ask one of the guys if he'd completed the job that was on him. He sits there looking at me with blank face. I explain his job to him. He says that he thought I did. No I sent some input. But the other email you sent to the senior managers? Well that was a completely different thing and I asked you to look at it and make sure the info was ok, which you obviously didn't do at all.

Side rant. We're currently being sub contracted at the moment and not only are my colleagues being shít but my management has no clue what they're doing with. They won't give us a single point of contact, they're giving us no info on travel expenses/pay/etc, then they come whining about lack of reporting and work not being. Look, just because it's not being micromanaged into oblivion, doesn't mean that no work is being done. Although some of the others could do with some more management.

So the guy that's supposed to do things is going soon at this stage. Well he probably had time to do it but god forbid he should do some work. So I say it to one of the other guys to ask if he can do this. Yeah, yeah, what is it? It's the email stuff we've talked about yesterday and just now. Like right now, in fact this is the same conversation.It hasn't stopped. So he understands and I go back to what I'm doing so I can go home.

Maybe an hour later, I look over and he'd doing something else. Oh, you're done. Not done yet. So he's doing work, I'll give him that but it's generic work that the other 30 or people are working on. As opposed to dealing with the request from our corporate management that we've had for two days and should probably be in right now. We'll probably get away with because it can be COB america time but still, stop being fúcking shít.

And I'm getting fracking sick again, and it's my second "weekend" in a row that I'm going to be fracking sick.

I do feel slightly better now though.

That was way longer than I thought.

Aw boo, That was my site.

yeh always used isohunt too! bloody disaster

McChubbin

Isohunt was great for music and e-books. Shame it got pulled.
But on a brighter note: After two months of nothing, my course tutors have FINALLY reinstated the Thursday social outings.
We're off to the botanic gardens next week and, if that goes well, we might be going to the zoo in a few weeks!
Hopefully I'll have my camera paid off by then so expect much picture spam at the elephant enclosure.

A friend brought me back Flaming Hot Cheeto's and Milk Duds from New York. I'm in heaven at the moment. Mouth burned off me but I don't care... haven't had them in years

I demand an offering of Reese's Peanut Buttercups for I am hormonal and must be obeyed.

I agree
Anything with peanut butter is absolutely rank.
My little one loves peanut and jelly on toast and I do be heaving when I'm puttin it on the toast. Turns me stomach

January

Always leaves my mouth extremely dry feeling... like it leaves a coat of peanut butter in there and it's horrible I did try to love peanut butter cups... but I just couldn't. I'm more of a fudge or turkish delight chocolate kinda girl.

Ah here lads, chunky peanut butter on bread, what's not to like

McChubbin

Love smooth peanut butter but can't stand the chunky stuff.

Anyways: I'm considering selling my Nintendo Wii console and looking at the average price. Would €150 be reasonable enough for a barely used console with a Wii Fit Board, Super Mario Allstars, all cables and leads and one numchuck controller?
I'd be willing to swap for a SNES with a ****ton of games but as I've never really sold anything online I'm a bit lost as to going about it the right way...

January

You can buy the console second hand in Game for around €70. (I'm supposing that's with one controller and nunchuck but I'm not quite sure), so with the board and game about €130-150 would probably be right.

Peanut butter is great stuff.


I just had a shake with milk banana chocolate whey protein and peanut butter it was delicious.

Sounds good. Once I get around to consulting my brother (who is more well versed in the art of selling things online) I might wack it up on the likes of Adverts or DoneDeal.
If I can get €150 for it I'll be singing all the way to the RAGE.
I really want an SNES. I'm much more of a retro gamer these days. Emulators are great an' all but nothing beats the real thing.

Feel like a kid but I somehow stumbled upon wwf fully loaded 1999 and watching stone cold vs undertaker first blood match and I remember clearly staying up till 3 in morning watching it and being real excited all weekend before it started.
Oh to be young again

This place is paradise! I'm never coming home

I got over my fear of water enough to jump off a boat in the middle of the indian ocean and swam with wild turtles, did snorkeling, then on another beach I got dragged out by the tide and nearly drowned lol.

It's unbelievable here.

I've also lost weight because we're pretty much living off of fresh fruit, rice, fish and juice. It's seriously amazing here.

Going to the zombie festival in Limerick this Saturday. It'll be a bit of a rush job on the make up compared to last year, seeing as I'm working in Galway till 4!

Here's last year's look; zombie Alice in Wonderland:
