Also, the fact that there never seems to be a breath of air in my room all night, til about 4am when the wind decides to pick up to a minor gale and the blinds start clanking like mad. If I could remember the name of the wind god from Junior Cert Classics, I'd be cursing him right now. Aiolus, or summat like that.

Third TA: the fact that I'm going to have to Google that now and will probably fall down a Wiki rabbit hole.

Aeolus. No bunnies here.

Pink. A woman heading for 40 still singing songs about teenage angst. Just heard "can we pretend". Dirt. She'll still be hanging around like Madonna like a bad smell in 20 years time, trying to be cool and hip.

The general attitude to tax in Ireland.
The idea that it's the government stealing from you. The general acceptance of evading tax wherever you can.

What about the idea that taxation goes into a big pot that is used to run our country?
What about the idea that whenever someone evades tax, the rest of us have to pay more?

I get it that many people believe that tax isn't used efficiently but lessening the size of the tax pool won't help this. Voting in better politicians is what will help this.

I have often said that I would actually prefer to pay more income tax, if only it could be guaranteed to be spent correctly. Unfortunately, this would probably never be the case.

Also, it's almost always the high earners/business class that evade tax, the ones who could most easily afford to pay more. PAYE workers don't really get the opportunity to dodge taxes.

Ultimate first world TA. I can’t drink my tea in the hairdressers properly because my hair is laden down with foils and I can’t tilt my head back. Also she put sugar in it. Gack.

This conversation that Im having for the millionant time yesterday, and its variations.

1, Friend asked why I was in bad humour, I say its cause my memory issue is getting in the way of something I need to have done seeoner that later. He says that it 'sounds like stress, you need to relax'.

2. Work asking about my transport receipts even tho they know that Im not allowed drive(evenone knows this), the person who asked this tells me I should try as I 'will get used to it"

I have professional reports to back these claims, and amatures think they know better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Grammerly isnt working on this computer!!!!!

OMG, applying for a promotion and I have to find outsider grown up's to vouch for me!
D(*m, going to have to be nice to irritating strangers for the next while,
as someone with a medical condition which makes me naturally irritable, this may be the small thing that drives me over the edge.

Tl/Dr, why dont I have outside friends with posh jobs who I can ask to lie for me!!!!!!

Here you go:

Blitzkrieger

There's a group of workmen that have been standing around outside their van across the street for the last half hour. A half hour, standing in a busy street, doing nothing. At one point the dip**** who was standing furthest out was doing a little dance. You'd think at some point one of the five would point out that there's no reason to be standing in a dangerous spot, and they'd all go stand on the empty footpath six feet away, but no. I hope they all get run over and get a group Darwin award.

Shower head all of a sudden has a mind of its own. No matter what way I try to secure it, it slowly moves until its facing away and soaking the rest of the bathroom

Don't normally post in here But does anyone else find it incredibly annoying that every song which was popular in the past (even if we're only talking about a year ago!) now has its comments section on YouTube completely and totally clogged up with "Anyone still listening in 2017?" "2018 anyone?" "Thumbs up if it's 2019 and you're still in love with this song!" etc etc etc.

Nobody gives a bollocks, I want to see what people actually think of the song and not what year ye all happen to be watching it in, FFS

In fairness, YouTube comments sections have always been clogged up with irrelevant sh!te, but at least there used to be some variety. EVERY song with more than a few hundred thousand views on YouTube is now 99% "Listening in year X, anyone else?" and pretty much no other commentary at all.

She doesn't even look human anymore.

Remember when the backing dancer tried to remove her cape on some award show and she fell down the stairs? :D

That’s was classic! Like a train wreck I couldn’t tear my eyes away from.

She got back up though and finished the show.

People at work swearing oaths that they're going to raise a stink about their situation and then completely caving in the meeting about it.

Sure it'd be more mortifying is she just lay there.

Beer & coffee? Jaysus. I changed barber when they asked if I wanted my eyebrows done (dunno what she was going to do with them, don't wanna know).

Lolz.

It’s his digestive system adjusting to the sudden horizontal position apparently or something sciencey and stuff ... (this is why I don’t teach Biology anymore and stick to maths :pac:)

My trivial annoyance is on RTÉ1 at the moment. Brendan O'Carroll's quiz called For Facts Sake. Apparently it's the last episode, so that's okay. I escaped the rest of them...

Caught behind a tractor on the way in to work this morning on a part of the road where any slow moving vehicle causes a tail-back to develop due to a lack of safe overtaking spots.

I genuinely believe tractors and other farm machinery shouldn't be allowed on busy thoroughfares before 9AM. The evenings are longer this time of year any way so its not like they are in a massive hurry.

I went shopping yesterday evening for supplies for the weekend. When I got home to cook, I realised that I bought no food to cook and just bought loads of junk food.


Included in the junk was bog standard jam doughnuts. The jam is not seedless. What f*cking madness is this. I'm very upset about it.

Being asked to contribute to gifts for people who are leaving the company. In my time here I would estimate over 100 people have left. This is with a total staff of about 50 at any one time. Half of them I barely knew or remember their names:(

I once got asked to contribute to a gift for someone who was moving to another department, 15 feet down the office. How I laughed.

You need to sort this.

I’ll be going straight to the manager when I’m in tomorrow. Think there was issues with the clock in machine so perhaps that’s why, but there’s absolutely no way that I’m letting it go
