    WTF! is Fedex doing in Cork with my absinthe, ordered especially to decant for Body&Soul Festival, my address has the Eircode, its in Galway, how in the name of god did it land in Cork? I ordered last Monday from Absinthes.com and was supposed to be delivered at 6 PM this Monday, but now delivery has been changed to Wednesday and I have to be on the Body&Soul site this morning. Ah well at least I'll have loads of absinthe when I get home. ;)

    Today wasn't exactly my day! The shower went f*ckety. Then, when I was rinsing bowls, I absolutely drenched the dress I was wearing and had to change. It was absolutely soaked!

    Then when I was changing my dress I was zipping up the zip on the side and accidentally caught some of my skin in the zip.

    Later, when I was shelling hard boiled eggs, I cut my thumb on a piece of egg shell. I need my bed!

    Sachets of sauce/mayo.
    1. There is not enough in them
    2. I am eating with my fingers so now they are impossible to open
    3. It hurt my tooth ripping it open

    I miss the days where you would get a bottle of sauce on the table :(
    Do you remember the glass sauce bottles? You would be banging it for ages trying to get something out and then it would all come out at once.

    Was on the phone to a work colleague earlier trying to swap days as I have to bring the GF up to a hospital appointment on a day I was scheduled to work. Swapped over no problem so grand.

    However another colleague overheard my conversation and proceeded to ask: "what's wrong with her then?"

    When somebody can'take up their mind.
    I know somebody who we're trying to plan a party with.
    First they want nothing.
    Then something small.
    Then something big.
    Then nothing.
    Then something small.
    The a semi big party.
    Then nothing at all.

    They are driving me up the wall.

    Two washing capsules were stuck together in the tub. Didn't want to pull at them too much in case they burst so had to throw them both into the machine.

    I have always used the legacy site and now I keep being redirected to the site that is green in colour. I can't deal with change 😢

    So only they get a card that says "I thought about getting you a present, but then I remembered it's the thought that counts." That'll teach them.

    An old flame (like, teenage sweetheart old) got back in touch with me last week. We met for lunch today and while I practically had hearts popping out of my eyes, I'm pretty sure he didn't fancy me in the least :(

    I was clothes shopping earlier. Three employees, none of them asked to help me, went up to pay, the surly one at the till never spoke. They've lost a customer.

    So, I went to the company which gives that 2-year car insurance as I intensely dislike spending my time each year searching for better value in the knowledge that I'll be fleeced if I stay with the same company. The 2-year motor insurance company managed to quote me a €1400 premium for two years, when it was @ €650 for 2 years (yes, for 2 years comprehensive) about 4 years ago. Yes, I realise I got a fantastic 2-year deal that year but I didn't expect it to go up that much in 2019 (I've had no accidents or anything since). The price for one year was €680 but when I said I wasn't interested the girl said 'the best I can do for you on the 1-year is €550'. It took, at most, 10 seconds for her to take €130 off the premium. Shysters in a shyster industry.

    My existing car insurance company sent me out renewal information this week with the forthcoming alleged premium. I went to their website and got precisely the same policy for €95 cheaper. Precisely the same.

    The insurance industry in particular must salivate when they meet entire sections of Irish society that they can exploit, like older people who just haven't the energy anymore and people who haven't a clue about internet stuff. I think we can put "insurance industry reform" somewhere next to "legal industry reform" at the bottom of the agenda of any government, and meaningless platitudes about protecting the consumer near the top.

    My local centra today had the doughnuts in individual plastic containers to keep them fresh and from avoiding maulings.
    But for the love of jaysus, big massive plastic containers for 1 doughnut. No wonder the planet is fooked.

    I'm not 100% sure but I got shingles a few years ago on my face/eyelids/etc. The only thing we could trace it back to was pick n mix sweets and kids being at them. Ever since then I hate anything that isn't covered/open to people to touch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW


    Regarding insurance: mine wanted an insane renewal, I did a new quote on their website, the quote was 350 cheaper, rang them and asked them what's up. Then they knocked another 150 off, so I got it for 500 cheaper than the stupid renewal.
    What's the excuse, really. F them.

    My TA: everyone says be professional for Interviews, dress nicely, don't have tattoos, don't breathe or exist. But it's totally acceptable for interviewers to have awful patchy fake tan, yeah.
