    Doesn't it feel closer to the weekend?

    Feels like it should be Friday or at least Thursday.

    I was reading about the fly infestation in the country. Apparently Dublin has it worse with Cork being the least affected. I'm not joking when I saw they are EVERYWHERE. Thy're on my monitor, hanging around the booze and coffee flying listlessly over any foodstuff I have. I squashed four of them on my body the other night. Can't deal.

    My TA is that everyone in Cork will be reading that thinking, "good enough for them Jackeens" with a little wry smile on their face.

    It was some click bait crap that is based in Dublin so I don't know about that.

    TA feeling weepy :(

    Those fcuking E cigarettes things!
    Does anyone know what the legal status is?
    Area you permitted to use them in enclosed public places like pubs, shopping centres etc?
    I see more and more people having sneaky puffs out and about.

    All three children currently have chicken pox which is bad enough, but I've never had it so whenever I feel an itch I'm imagining breaking out in the damn spots myself.

    Cutlery thrown randomly into the cutlery drawer and NOT into the correct compartments.

    Also, people not using perishable food items in date order.

    Last week they were saying it was because of the incinerator in Ringsend that was causing it in Dublin, done interviews with the shops and people around the place, tsk tsk, now what's causing it all over Dublin, Cork, Galway, etc, hate when a good news story fails, :D

    TA'ed, am on day two of a homeopathic remedy, so I stay away from mint/caffeine for another full day, no biggie doing this for years, everything I try to do or hear today is filtered through a haze of images of dr p/iced mocha/mint crisp playing chase in my brain.
    The complete jackass who told my "daughter" that her dog will be PTS because of something that happened in the dog's daycare. How badly administered is the intranet in her job that encourages ppl to post what's bothering them and this sort of cra*py response is allowed.

    About to start cooking the dinner for the 2nd time in the past week and realising that I am missing 1/2 the stuff!!!.

    So handy having Lidl 5 mins up the road but should have checked earlier silly me !!!

    The hours and hours I spent on the phone to two major mobile phone co's to sort out one simple thing, the conversation went from them checking when the phone was bought to the no I most commonly send web texts too. Four members of staff, two accidental hangup's, countless contradictions between staff. After three hours of calls, they finally agreed that the pin I had been giving them all along, was the actual pin!

    TA that phone co's dont have staff trained in all area's in their call centres. This better be fixed this time or there will be a caffeine/mint/frustration inspired murder. Watch the headlines!

    In this case they were the lesser of the annoyances, the orange ppl were the biggest annoyance and waste of time.
    TA'ed the "orange" ppl dont have grown up's on the phones, by grown up I mean ppl who know what they are doing and do it!

    I was putting the shopping in the boot of the car when I realised I had totally forgotten to go down the freezer aisles. Oh well , tomorrow is another day. TA a huge part of my existence is spent wandering supermarket aisles:(

    Most people from Cork have very little interest in what's happening in Dublin and I never heard the word "jakeen" once while living in Cork. In fact, you rarely hear Cork people complaining about Dubliners or any other county. Dubliners on the other hand never shut up about people from outside the capital especially Cork people. Sorry to burst your bubble but it's a one way street. :)

    Large garden spider on stairs. Can't believe it's that time of year already :(

    This one not my ta, but the look on our gsd's face when the vet was testing his joints and mauling his back(from the dog's pov), he is going off woman, lol as he is such a playa in his mind.

    Just found out my third last rebound man(c. 2005) got married in '15, he looked so happy in the pre wedding shots, annoyed that I found out at all and that I have any kind of feeling about it after all this time. And that the last time I saw him a handful of years ago, he stood there looking at me like a guppy.

    F off Donie you ol' ballbag with your perfectly fitting jeans and perfectly calibrated belt notches :pac:

    I've now untucked the shirt meaning the tighter belt notch isn't as bad.

    I wish.

    People think I'm quirky for wearing shorts even when it's cold.

    Quirky me hole, they got elastic waistbands.
