Painting.

It's such a pain in the hole.

If today has taught me anything it's that I work to pay someone else to deal with the tedium and hassle

TA of the day, My Dad and his stupid e-cigarette liquid.

Every month or so I have to place an order for him, Healthier Smoker 12ml, Strength 18mg (regular smoker) Cola flavoured

Made the order last month, costing 23 euro, order came, 4 bottles of stuff were grand, had to order them online because the shop in town doesn't stock it anymore.

This month, made the same order, had it bookmarked from last time, ordered it away.

Today it comes, sticker design on the bottle is changed on the bottle (but the same company) and the liquid is clear rather than a cola brown colour but the volume, flavour and strength are the same.

According to Dad...."It's not the same!"

Headwreck, f**king order it yourself then. Annoyed with the company too, they are always tampering with the product and mindf**king customers.

TA that my job is so mind numbing I am actually vegetating. Also TA is my parents old school approach to having a job. You have to be "happy you have one you know", don't rock the boat etc. And the latest, "they should give you a payrise now that you have that degree" - I don't think that's how companys work mother!

I spent 12 hours painting my window frames and patio door recently and boy howdy is it going to be the last time i engage in that foolishness.

Someone else is getting paid to do it next time. Utter tedium.

Being in bad humour and getting teary at silly things.

I love painting! Have painted the outside of the house a few weeks ago and am looking forward to doing the inside of the house in autumn. Horses for courses I suppose.

TA that as soon as I put the washing on the line a big black cloud arrives overhead.

I get TA when illustrators make drawings for events (for example world dog day, or earth day or topical or news events like orlando shootings) because on the one hand I think how see through is that, on the other hand it can be showing support (like the jean julian french peace symbol after attacks) and then again even if it is whoring themselves out for exposure, it comes with the job.
And now I get angry at myself for being judgemental. Then the next ****ing thing appears on facebook/instagram/twitter.

Yeah, if they come into work earlier than usual and expect me to make conversation with them about the match / weather they can think again.

If I come into work earlier than usual, it's to get some work done that I can't get done during the course of the day. Had a a TA few days with a colleague who didn't have enough to do pouncing down to my desk the minute I came in, and yakking away about nothing. After a day or two I decided to arrive in with my earphones in my ears and as soon as she'd approach the desk I'd point to the earphones and say sorry, I'm just listening to something here on the news, I'll catch up with you later. It took a couple of mornings, but it worked.

Other people's children.
My Slimming World meeting went over by 30 minutes because some eejit of a granny/aunt thought it would be a good idea to bring two 3 year old boys to the group. EVERY FECKING WEEK THIS HAPPENS.
And every week, the group leader just smiles and puts up with these little crotch goblins running around the room shrieking at an ear-piercing volume whilst eejit granny/aunt tries in vain to calm them by roaring over the group leader for them to sit down.
Most weeks, I just grit my teeth and endure this ****e for the sake of not wanting to cause a scene but tonight, because I already wasn't feeling great on account of underlying health problems and a splitting headache, I was so close to getting up and walking out of the group out of sheer frustration.
I'm sick of pretending to like small children. Why must they be so loud and irritating?
Also, the next person who tells me, with that grating self-satisified smile of a ****ing Mombie on their faces "Ahh, sure! They're just kids being kids", so help me, I will carve their heart out of their chests with a rusty spoon and EAT IT.

I'm watching a bit of the fly on the wall show The Shelbourne.
It was filmed before last Christmas when they had scaffolding in place at the front of the spa part.

Cut to mother and daughter having afternoon tea and being told that the scaffolding will be in place for precious' big day. Such serious faces.Then cut to some dude talking about how awful it is to hear such news. The front of the building won't be perfect for the big day! The horror!

Never fear because the "style butler" is on hand to ease the "awful news" with a shopping trip.

What planet so these people reside upon!
If I ever get married it will probably be in a field with a few fairy lights strewn on the trees.

As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we get married. 😉

That show has made me hate the Shelbourne. And all who sail in it. I would hate to stay or dine in a place where the managers are so ludicrously fussy and pedantic, and the people earning the minimum wage are expected to fawn all over me.

This. My neighbours kids are the screechiest creatures, they scream at each other and their dogs constantly. Tonight they're still out squawking, I'm up since six and beginning to feel homicidal. A girl needs sleep!
Also their parents used to ask us to be queit outside before 7 when we were young, their hypocrisy irks me.

"Hilarious videos" which aren't and in particular these "Irish fans" videos.

TA'd there's no football on tv tonight

TA'd that people can't understand that work is work, your job is your job, and if you have to say or do something they don't like because it's your job it doesn't mean that you are a horrible person. It just means you are doing what you are paid to do.

I hate screeching kids. We had a party a while ago (and my initial TA was people assuming that their kids were invited and carting them along with them). Seriously like, it's just a pain in the backside with kids there. They scare the pets and make noise. Just because you're invited does not mean your sprogs are. And we are not just talking about someone with a young child who maybe couldn't find a babysitter or whatever. no, this was one partner comes to the party and brings the kid with him/her while the other partner stays at home child free! Also bringing said kid's friend along too. WTF. What made it worse was our dog (who is nervous of kids) and that we are trying to train and get used to them and who is making great strides, was left petrified when some fúcking 6 year old upstart decided to run at her shrieking. I swear I felt like belting him. That and running in and out of the house, up and down the stairs and thinking my cats are toys. Fúcking gremlins.

Used to have a similar TA scenario at the Weightwatchers meeting I attended.

The mammy who thought her child should be centre of attention at all times, her every question had to be answered immediately, both of them at top volume, while the group leader tried to smile (grit her teeth) through it.

Haven't been there in a while but last time, the child went outside the door and wouldn't come back in. So mammy had to leave, alleluia!

Just got embarrassed buying tampons because a guy I fancy was in the queue behind me in the shop.
