Performance Evaluation coming up soon at work. Hate them.

Have to set objectives for 2017. How to I say "to get a new job" without actually saying it? :pac:

The completely anti-working class recruitment policy in RTE. Its evident on all the shows- news presenters from wealthy backgrounds, Kathryn Thomas on every single show going, Dermot Bannon spending every week in a 2million detached in D4, "top" dramas starring nothing but actors or actresses from posh backgrounds. Where are the salt of the earth people who make up the majority of the population? If anyone sees them on RTE let me know because I cant see any.

Probably best to come up with objectives you can spin as positives for a new job. That way when you're working towards them in the current job, you're still good in their books, but you also have relatable work to demonstrate your performance in an interview setting.

Being stuck behind agricultural machinery on the road. Car ends up filthy and I end up late. Grrrrr

Me three. I'm dosing myself though.

Pretty annoyed that today I can't taste food and I feel ill at ease.

realising the screenshot I sent my solicitor also captured some very embarrassing selfies at the bottom of the screen, I have taken with huge hoopy earrings and a huge pair of sunglasses. I'm raging, I thought there was nothing too bad in the screenshots. Check things before sending them, dopey LOR.

Never watched Love and Hate then

Completely fed up with RTE coverage of Donald trump, every night n day on radio & TV, you would think we were a state of the US, give us our Irish news/problems first.

Apparently it wasn't made by RTE. I mentioned to someone that I thought it was amazing that RTE could come up with a show that good and gritty and was told "they didn't"

TA'd today by the girl on the train I was on who ate garlic chips. The whole carriage stank.

I have to get professional pictures done for work. So I have to pay some fiend to capture my mutant face and body for what, for why? Waste of time and energy and money. I despise cameras.

If you get a decent photographer they can work wonders, even my uggo muggo came out half alright when shot by a professional.

My knee is in a heap, I can't walk properly, I can't rest properly with it. It seems to be only OK if I lie like this



So now I look like an Immac advertisement except with hairy man legs.

Joe Duffy was working class..but then he got into RTE and the 416K euro pay cheque turned him

It's only Wednesday!

Someone asking for advice then ignoring it. Then coming back again because the problem wasn't magically fixed. And ignoring the advice again. Then complaining to anyone who'll listen about the problem.

People who you'd think would have some professionalism, giving misleading information because they are too lazy to double check.

There is some truth in what you're saying, but in fairness, this week's renovation from Dermot was a €250k spend by a window-cleaner.

It was commissioned by RTE. They paid for it.

People at the bus stop who think two minutes before the bus is due is the perfect time to light up and blow their toxic fumes at everyone else.

Bad drivers....ads....nose pickers...queueing....loud mouths on phones in public places....incoherent announcements at station/airports.....opinionated taxi ðrivers....ray darcy....people with a sense of entitlement.....teachers who moan about their plight for 9 months (on hols rest of time) Moses beards...Dr Eva....to name but a few!!

TV3 are repeating 24 Hours To Kill. Tonight it features a shocking murder which happened a few miles from me. Do Tv3 ask for approval before airing this show each time? I wouldn't want to be the relations of the deceased woman tonight.
Some subjects should be left rest.

At a roundabout.

Me in the right Lane, going right.

Him in the left Lane going straight.

Two of us travel around the roundabout side by side

Aaaaaaaaaand his entire car is in my Lane.

Happens all.the.time

Four Phucs Ache

Their is always one tool that pulls into a petrol station the wrong way and fooks up the nice flow of parking and exit for everybody else.

Massive exit only sign but it's like a magnet for people that only breath through their mouth.

Beyoncé fans, theres a couple of girls I work with that are obsessed with her and already shared an ungodly amount of posts about her being pregnant....Christ, is she the first person ever to be pregnant - Fair enough she has a good voice but ffs the love for her is overkill

Despite the signs, and the writing on the road, it still happens.

More than TA with myself for getting 3 points on my licence after 20 years without a blemish. My own fault entirely.

Widdershins

TA'd by people who try to tell me how long it ''should'' take for me to get to a destination, based on some kind of StupidMaps app or Google. They don't take into account the road surface (or lack of it), the weather, etc. You might make it in the stated time if you drove as the crow flies!

My courier just said the same thing. His computer thing gave him an estimate of 16 minutes for a delivery to an area I know would take me a half an hour to drive to. It took him longer again because he's unfamiliar with the roads and a city driver.

Rubberlegs

Having to do a speedy edit on the Trivially Happy thread because I typed TA. Force of habit, and much more my usual form
