    So who else is on tour? I'm currently sitting in my hostel in Windhoek Namibia looking out at the rain and making the most of the free WiFi.

    Every time you post I get really jealous of you!
    I picked loungers on tour cuz it seems like there are more loungers outside of Ireland than in it.
    But now that I think about it, loungers all over the world would have been better!

    I think you win at being on tour!

    I'm on the train, somewhere between Dublin and Kildare. Does that count?

    I am heading back to the US on business next week. Does that count? No where near as cool as Namibia... :(

    Totally counts.

    How so Joe, I wouldn't be too jealous, I'm camping at the hostel and it's cold and rainy. Although heading to Cape Town this week which I am ultra excited about.

    We could call it lounging around the world. I'm currently lounging on a couch.

    I'm not lounging on a couch. I'm sitting on a couch with my laptop on my lap (ha) and work open beside me.

    Do science, they said. Be grand, they said. Gah.

    On the upside, PhD officially in the bag. Had an email to say it's been approved by academic council. I will celebrate by doing more work! Yeay!

    :(

    (despite my rant-like post, I am chuffed and wouldn't change my "profession" for the world)

    Give me Bad Medicine any day!

    I love Pete Seeger. I like him so much that I did a project in college where I had to dissect three of his songs and recreate them in Midi and The Lion Sleeps Tonight was one of them. It left me scarred!

    I'm just back from my tour. Won't be anymore for me for a while! :-(

    I see ladies will be in d'Aviva. Come visit me and feel sorry for me having to work if you are!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,994 ✭✭✭sullivlo


    Gutted.

    I applied for a position online. It needed me to do aptitude tests. I tried them yesterday, got halfway thru and my computer froze. I contacted the company and told them. They replied at 4 saying they reset my account. I got the email at 5.30 on my way home. So I missed the deadline.

    My application, which took me weeks to prepare, will not be considered.

    Edit: I am fully aware that this is my own fault. Just an awful hard way to learn a lesson.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,246 ✭✭✭iwantmydinner


    Oh no, sullivlo... I don't really know what to say! :(

    Could you ring them and explain that you only got the email late and ask if they'd accept a late application?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭TeletextPear


    Ahh new thread! I was wondering why I wasn't getting updates :)

    Fairly sure my roof is going to blow off in this storm - or at the very least the electricity will go. eep!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Ilyana 2.0


    Sorry to hear that Sullivlo, but well done on your doctorness!

    Took the dog for a walk. Am frozen solid now. Brrr.

    Been onto them. They won't accept a late application but encouraged me to apply next year.

    Their loss ;)

    Holy headache batman! It is only Tuesday and work is grinding me down this week.

    I absolutely hate political infighting and want no part of it :(

    That sucks. I hate when that happens. Or when you wake on a Monday and think it's a Sunday.

    I'm so happy I could cry! It's just so nice not to have to feel like I need to make excuses or feel paranoid when I'm talking about work anymore. I have a job!!! :D

    Discovered TOM had arrived as I was heading out to the pool, thought feck it, I'm still going and swam 22 lengths, which is impressive to me! :P Got natural yoghurt as well, the lowest sugar content I could find was two grams. but since most of them, were 6g per 100g thought it was better than nothing!

    Well done! 22 lengths is good going! It doesn't matter if it's 2 or 22, if you enjoyed it and feel better for it, then it's a great thing!

    What's the natural yoghurt for? Any reason for low sugar content? I'm on a serious health buzz - I've lost ~ 8 kg so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Ilyana 2.0


    Good woman PP, well done!

    It feels so nice to be sat inside in my sweats with the wind and rain howling outside. It would be even nicer if I could read a book or watch tv rather than studying!

    Congrats, am delighted for you! :)

    So it seems I had two panic attacks. My anxiety is playing up, and that is what caused them.

    I have to take three xanax a day for a few days along with other meds for my anxiety :(

    The #CorkFloods twitter feed is mad. I'm sat here warm and cozy but deeply missing a fire.

    Don't worry about the Xanax. It got me through some of the hardest and lowest days of my life. It's medicine just like everything else.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,246 ✭✭✭iwantmydinner


    Hugs, Toast. Do whatchu gotta do to feel better and take it easy on yourself x

    PP, excellent news. Being busy is the best complaint. And you *will*be busy, if the last few weeks are anything to go by! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Yep, it's gonna be busy but bring it on I say! :D
