No, lucky enough the brother was at home so I sent him to the door.

Two court reports on Irish Times FB page last night.

1/ A Clondalkin man agrees to hold 178000 worth of heroin and cocaine for a drug dealer as he needs funds to pay for his father’s funeral. Gets 5 year suspended sentence.

2/ A Lucan Law student punches another guy outside a pub. One punch. Victim makes a “good” recovery but had brain injury and it was touch and go for a while. Gets 4 year suspended sentence.

The comments are the TA. Loads of people talking about “postcode justice” re case /2 and saying “money talks”, “if he was from Ballyfermot, he’d do time”. But ignoring the fact that the guy in case /1 also got off.

Applied for an internal job and I sent my CV and cover letter to HR

I checked & checked it. I printed 3 times, made edits with a pen and edited on the computer

Send the application and I saw I put the year I started in this job incorrect. How did I miss this ?? :mad:

I messaged the friendly person in HR and asked her to delete and she told me to resend. She was super cool and helpful

TA’d despite my multiple checking I still missed a glaring error.

Do they grow out of that? Mine hasn’t done it in a couple of years, I still live in fear of it happening again.

Otter poo is where it's at. Mmm fishy oily goodness :pac:

As my sld has gotten much worse with lockdown(or who I'm forced to lockdown with) I have a colleague who reads my reports for missing items or strangely worded sentances.

Monday I got a message from them, BB can you send x report you are on currently?
I reply, that I can but as it's group work, what I have done is in different parts of the report and on different topics. Told to send it anyway.
Feedback this am says that it makes sense on a sentence level but not as a coherent piece!

Bredabe

Asked a professional for help on an error I made on a piece for uni,
I get a lecture on how stupid it was to make that mistake and the problems with trying to fix it now.

WTH not just say that at the start of the message, it's not like I can go back in time and not do it!


Different ta, an exercise handed out at Christmas which has a lot of different sections and still no information on the word count for each section! diving the total by the number of sections doesn't work. FFS is it a state secret!

I've an 11 year old terrier who still does it given the opportunity. Even though she knows its straight to the b-a-t-h after, which she hates. :pac:

Those burger buns that look like they're cut through but they're still joined a bit. Annoying as fúck. You can try and separate them with your hands but sometimes the bun breaks. So you need a knife. Meaning they may as well not have bothered doing the half arsed cut in the first place.

Even worse if you freeze them and want to toast them from frozen. They snap in your hand. The same with certain brand bagels. You'd think the bread cutting robot could be programmed to just cut the extra 5mm.

Companies still packaging in plastic that is 'not currently recyclable'. Why not?

I feel for you. It stinks so much.

Yeah, they give the illusion that they're cut so you try and prise them apart. I hate them.

Because cost and/or couldn't be arsed.

The MCU. Wandavision this, Wandavision that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some elitist when it comes to movies/TV. I really enjoyed The Avengers films and a handful of the in-between movies but does it ever end? We're coming up on 15 years of the that universe and it's still going, don't you get sick of the same stories?

Infinity War was a fine end point for me.

This is what pops into my head every time I hear Wandavision.

We’re coming up on 14 billion years in our own universe. I think Marvel will still try to outdo it, though.

I'm from Cavan so feel your pain. Some of the coins could go flying and get lost, a travesty :pac:

Noticed rubbish along a stretch of road the other day and since then noticing it everywhere along that stretch. It is a few miles away from a Supermacs and it is mostly discarded Supermacs stuff.

Have a mind to contact Pat McDonagh and ask him to come down with a rubbish bag and get going on it.

TA'ed that the search bar and category headers part of the Amazon website doesn't remain 'stickied' to the top of the page as you scroll down, so that you can easily access it at all times without having to scroll all the way back to the top to make it visible again (unless there is something I'm missing!)

I'm usually a terrible woman at the best of times and only get my hair cut once a year. But because of the pandemic it's coming up on 18 months without a haircut now and I'm this | | close to just cutting the ****ing thing off myself. It's just a thick heavy frizzy mess at the moment and it's driving me absolutely nuts.
