I got a key cut today to replace the one that I accidentally left in a pocket of something that went in the washing machine and subsequently fecked up the machine when it went through the drum like a bullet, anyways, I just tried the key in the door and yer wan in the shop didn't cut it right so now I'll have to go back to the shop tomorrow.

Now's your time to get some food that's really good for her that you think she'd never eat and convince her it's fried unicorn!

I'm thinking mashed brocolli with baby corn (these can be mini horns!)
Use purple food colouring if needed.


TA that I was using the Luas strike to get out of something on Friday!

Tins of pears. Why is there always at least on pear half that's hard as the hobs of hell? It doesn't matter what brand or cost. Every tin has at least one that's inedible.

When you order a DVD from a certain games store from another branch. When they finally get it in after several weeks it's a different movie version to the one on their web site with the same title. You then refuse to buy it but can't be arsed explaining to them what the problem is.

People who give off a mugger vibe. It is especially unnerving when you notice them following you when you remove yourself from the initial situation.

Night shifts.

People that spend years in jobs they absolutely despise. This annoys me.

Last night I went to such a place where I'm familiar with the workers. Was the first time I saw some of them in 3 - 4 years. What most told me was how much they hated working there and how awful it was.

Facebook posts from someone who has recently pro-created. The smugness is just too much for me. I mean, I love kids and cant wait to have my own and all that but this woman is just píssing me off now. Every day there are posts that basically tell all the childless people that they haven't lived yet. Today's gem is "if I could offer my friends one piece of advice (that they haven't asked for), it would be to have kids. You simply have not lived until you've had kids. Having kids makes you a good person" (we're all bad until we procreate it seems). The day before was "thank you God for this beautiful gift, I didn't realize I was only living a half life* before you gave me this gift from heaven", ah for fúck sake

* childless people are also radioactive

Wait until the sleepless nights kick in, or the kid's tantrums. Mark my words, their updates will slowly change and before you know it, there will be updates such as

"God, I didn't know what tired was until now".. and

"I can't wait until the kids go back to school".

You can have an internal chuckle then!


My TA is not bad driving in general, but a specific one. And that is, as you are driving in the overtaking lane, at a speed which is overtaking the left lane, leaving a sufficient space between you and the car in front.. when a **** in the left lane pulls up, indicates and squeezes into the space, forcing you to break. Happened twice today - total ***holes!

Having kids makes you a good person? I'm a grumpy cow right now because I have a cold and the little fella is post vaccine cranky!

TA at people who seem to think it is ok to give unsolicited advice. Get off yer high horse.

Yeah then it'll be, "if I could offer my friends one piece of advice it would be to take it up the wrong 'un!" :pac:

TA'd there's no LUAS today to bring me to Jervis at lunchtime

When filing I find I have to recite the alphabet each time - especially near the end

I find I can remember the alphabet in blocks, so I'll have to recite A-G, and then for (say) filing anything after G, I'll have to recite H-P, then Q-V, then W-Z. :pac:

Edit: just realized that what's happening is I am remembering it as the song we were taught! So, I sing the alphabet. 31 years of age and I feckin sing the alphabet still.

My dad is like this and it drives me bonkers trying to explain to him. He gets away with it because he's old school.

Me: I'm off to visit my friend *** in Galway for the night
Daddy: Oh. Who?
Me: You know, ***
Daddy: Ah right. And would you not have him as a boyfriend?
Me: No.
Daddy: Well you know yourself. Be careful now. (that's daddy speak for don't have unprotected sex)

Or.

Me: I'm going to hang out with *****
Daddy: Oh yes *****. How is he?
Me: Not a bother on him.
Daddy: Is he still not married?
Me: No.
Daddy: Would the pair of yee not get married?


Ah the daddy. Great auld craic.

My dad does be serious. Ah but he's 73 and my mam was his first and only love. He doesn't get this newfangled dating

Ha, I often do the "your mother and I are going on a date night"

The replies are gas.

"You're sick", "aargh vomit" and the classic, "don't be so gay!"

Seemingly the kid of a FB acquaintance just had her first tooth today. And the poor little mite was in an awful way last night.

Thank god for FB. I would have never known otherwise.
