Now, the question is, was he in your bathtub, or were you in his?

Also, you haven't been reading the bath vs. shower thread before bed, have you?

Turned up at work for my 8am shift this morning. Turns out I wasn't meant to be there, the girl on reception who gave me my hours on Sunday confused me with another girl who has a similar name and gave me her hours instead. And then, when the manager said one of us could go home, she said "Oh I'll go!" she was the one who was rostered to be on, but she fecked off and so I had to cover her shift :rolleyes:

Splashed out and bought a tin of iced tea mix from amazon, not cheap off the shelf let alone on daweb.
Had a look at a localish online american food shop, while cheaper, their min spend means that amazon is cheaper.:mad::mad:

We normally have 3 or 4 people in the office battling with each other over the air con controls.


There is only 1 of them in today, and they are in a temperature regulation battle with themselves! They've changed the temp about 6 or 7 times today so far.

Air con is a nightmare, it's the drafts it causes that kill you, and the temperature is never right. I think that's where the "con" comes from.

Most so-called air-conditioning systems in this country are installed by clodhoppers who don't actually know what it is, as opposed to proper HVAC technicians/engineers, and are never subsequently serviced or maintained properly.

Our place had the old system ripped out and engineers come in and survey, gauge, measure everything before putting the new system in.
It's just a shame that there are too many control panels around the office that people abuse and don't give the system a chance to regulate itself.

...and the clodhoppers in charge of installing and maintaining some of these things are nothing - nothing, I tells ye! - to some of the clodhoppers who's comfort they are supposed to ensure. Repeat after me - "It's a climate control system, it is fully automated, thermostatted and sensored, it does not need to be told to blow cold air up your hole, now kindly fuck off from that panel and let the hideously expensive device do it's job!!" :pac:

What a ****ty, selfish thing to do. And your manager was a dope for not telling you to go seeing as you weren't supposed to be there

I'm rife with TAs:

• If I open my windows, I can hear the 30 kids in my street shouting and screaming so uncomfortably loud, but if I close my windows, I start to sweat profusely and my asthma doesn't agree with that kind of stuffiness - it's a genuine dilemma.
• My head ****ing hurts and I've no paracetamol.
• I went to bed at 2am last night and woke up at half 7 this morning, on my 5th coffee today and my eyes are bloodshot as a result.
• I want a take-away so bad and I'm broke
• Referring back to the loud kids, 4 of my neighbours all coincidentally got trampolines over the last 5 weeks, so the kids are not only loud, but they're now much closer to my house - making them extremely loud - this goes on until 11.30 at night, sometimes the teenagers stay out til after 12 being just as loud.
• I live near Waterford Airport and it seems to be a popular spot for people to rent a plane over the summer, the sound of a propeller plane goes off at least 5 times in a day where I am.
• More stupid kids going around to the back of my house behind the fence and teasing my dogs to get a reaction out of them (because "ha ha they're at the other end of the fence that means it's okay")

I have the same problem with kids playing basketball. They have plonked the net at the end of their house closest to my bedroom and living room. The noise of the ball constantly Dribbling on the tarmac is torture. And ear plugs don't drown out the noise and screams. I long for rain!

I wear these big cans during the night so I don't wake anyone up while I'm on the PlayStation or whatever.

but I shouldn't have to use them when there's nobody around the house or asleep.
I am very tempted to turn on my subwoofer and rip the dial all the way up

Oh when they're in the mood they bounce a ball here, too. Rain almost erradicates them entirely, I love it. Sadly, Tramore has this weird tendency to be sunny all the time when everywhere else would be cloudy. The comparison is drawn from the fact I have a girlfriend that lives all the way up in Laois and everytime I arrive home from cloudy Kilkenny it's still scorching down here.
T.A'd at the sun - I hate the sun. Unless I'm out in it, then it's okay. :pac::pac:

Their parents probably spent the guts of three grand for their kids' fortnight abroad, hoping they'd improve their language skills... Money well spent.

I get this as I'm in a bedroom overlooking a busy road, so I get traffic and loud exhausts tearing up and down at all hours (the people with the loud exhaust cars usually with windows down 'sharing' their sh!t music), the after pub crowd; people arguing, loud talking, the odd fight. People beeping car horns dropping off/collecting people at fcuking stupid times. The plague of nattering Spanish students, god knows why they bother coming here to learn English. Can't leave the windows closed, the house is a piece of crap, cold and damp in winter and like an oven now.

Our windows don't open, the other exact same office buildings around us have windows that open which is strange and TA

I'm also experiencing difficulties with our AC in the office. Unfortunately I don't have a person to blame. The super smart clever college educated architects/M&E consultants who designed the office have put in thermostats for each floor which will automatically determine the correct temperature for the office and adjust the AC accordingly. Unfortunately (and shockingly) this is NOT WORKING. During the winter in the room I'm in (about 30 people) one corner of the room was registering 28 degrees on the thermometers (that they brought in themselves to measure because the facilities people didn't believe them). The other corner of the office was freezing and had 2 coats on most days.

Currently there is 2 air vents pointing at me blowing out arctic air. I'm seriously considering putting on the fingerless gloves that I keep in my drawer and the scarf that I've deliberately brought in.

Local radio not known for its fact-finding told me that there was liquid water found an x planet during the week, my brain is screaming why not call it what I think it is, water! (as opposed to steam/ice)

Ref bots clogging up the timeline on twitter, while im on that, ppl tweeting min for health topics better addressed by min for housing, no doubt I'll be fed their complaints about non-responses on the timeline as well.

Ppl who don't respond to me for days, sending freaked out messages if Im not back to them by the am after they message me.

Waiting on responses to important communications x3, again and no idea when they/if they will arrive.

This online discussion about how two schools merging will affect traffic on an already clogged road. eg, one person who expressed concern about accessibility for emergency services as they had a terminally ill person living off the road mentioned was answered with 'if they are that ill why are then not in a hospice' and my child's education better not be compromised by you needed an ambulance for a dying person'. Makes me despair of the world.
