Feckin headache now too
TA the HSE website section on pregnancy information, every time they say "urine" they put (wee) after it. Why? Do people not know what "urine" is? They must think we are a simpletons.
I actually find that very concerning.
That there are people having children who need that explained to them.0 -

Not all HR/recruitment people are fantastic at their job. I know a manager who was giving an internal HR person an entry level job spec. The HR person was told they're having difficulty finding someone with experience and the budget is tight, so they're seeking an entry level person, x, y and z are required, q, r and up to three years experience would be beneficial. The job went live with x, y, z, q, r and three years experience required. When this was pointed out to the HR person, they said 'Oh, I can't change it now it's gone live.'
A month later the manager was told they couldn't find anyone for the position. Cynical me wouldn't think the HR person was still rejecting any CV that didn't have three years experience, or had done that deliberately in the first place because it's easier to just reject a load of CVs than actually go through the hiring process, and it's no skin off the lazy/incompetent HR person's nose.
Sometimes the hiring process can be poorly designed too. I'll paste this in :
I read an article recently about a manager that had an opening in her department, and recommended to a friend in the same field that she should apply, knowing she'd be a perfect fit. A couple of weeks later she checks in with her friend, who had been sent an evaluation, completed it, and had heard nothing since. HR person said the software they used had evaluated her as not suitable. The manager tried the evaluation herself, and failed. She had everybody in her department try the evaluation - they all failed. HR had been telling her that they couldn't find anyone suitable for the position because their software was failing at it's task.
Makes me wonder how many HR depts are using software that is garbage, and are unaware or unwilling to do anything about it. When you see so many companies still using Myers-Briggs tests, nothing would surprise me...0 -

Have to take my extremely nervous and skittish cat to the vet for a little procedure this morning. The thoughts of trying to trap her to get her in the carrier is stressing me out. She makes the saddest miaow when we we finally corner her.
Always put her in tail first...... it does help0 -

Our poor cats are so rarely taken to the vet that if we put the carrier down, they just get in it for the craic.0 -

Ha you're assuming we can catch her first. She won't even tolerate us picking her up!
We know how she is so we're the same, she rarely goes to the vet but she's one of the poor unfortunate cats who need their anal glands expressed so she HAS to go for this one thing about every 4 months. And she knows well that something bad is going to happen when the carrier comes out so she makes a run for the catio.
Aw poor cat, I thought that was just a dog thing
My dog hates the vet, but when any of the others have to go, she loves coming along for the spin. I think its so she can laugh at them from the passenger seat and say haha suckers, not me this time

It's apparently extremely rare for cats to need it but we knew there was something up when she kept scooting on the carpet AFTER we had given her the worming treatment. Vet said she's just one of the unlucky ones. At least this time she didn't need to be sedated for it. My heart is broken for her cos she gets so stressed out. 0 -
