Had horrible nightmares last night. I woke up drenched in sweat so now I have to have another shower before work but I didn't realise I'd need a shower this morning so didn't get up early enough to allow time for one because I didn't know I'd need one.

This was 20 minutes late

In my circle, we do Kris Kringle or Secret Santa or whatever you call it because there's little kids and nieces and nephews to buy for now so it's kinda cost effective and takes a bit of stress away but everyone still gets a decent present. Plus it's kinda fun not knowing who got who and getting a gift that suits for you you drew in the raffle.

Anyway, my birthday falls a few days after Christmas but all these Kris Kringle members give me my bday present when we're doing the gift exchange on Xmas Day. I feel like an awkward Scrooge taking the bday gift (which is nearly always in festive wrapping paper) and not giving one back.

Waking at this hour on my day off!

Irish Rail are the masters of fiddling stats. We are 90% on time*

*if we show up under 10 minutes late we are not late

Imagine handing them back a pressie.

Happy birthday btw!

There are some people in my office who seem to have difficulty with basic communication. You know, the idea that there's no point talking unless someone is listening. I hear a lot of conversations that go something like this:

P1: So, Fair City was fair shocking last night, eh?
P2: (busy working, takes a few seconds) HUH?
P1: I said, Fair City was fair shocking last night, eh?
P2: I don't know.
P1: I mean what Sorcha did - I wasn't expecting that.
P2: I don't know. I'll check it out later.

This is all loud, of course. Some people are so bad at this they literally have to say everything twice. Loudly. :mad:

"No I don't watch it"

Cue ten minutes of gushing crap about people I've never heard of.

Friends husband who knows nothing about cars, jumped into my car and took it for a spin. Came back telling me how sh1t my car is, the steering wheel isn't fluid enough, there's no stamina in it long term, better hope I don't crash it as the engine would come in on top of me and kill me instantly, the tracking is off, something needs fluid. I responded by saying it's one of the safest cars on the market, he said it's not. Then said the car wouldn't be for him. He kept on and on about it and two other people had to call him out saying there was no need for him to keep saying it and going on about it.

I wouldn't mind but I drive a BMW 3 series, he drives a Hyundai i10
I know which I'd rather be in if I crashed

I'm no expert in penal law but it might be legal to run him over . Best check!

Seriously? They left one out? That has really annoyed me (as a GIANT Harry Potter fan) even though I don't watch RTE.

I’d just politely tell him you weren’t asking him to pay for it

go to the n cap website and print off the ratings for both cars. assuming your car is newer than 2005 then it has 5 stars. an i10 2014 is still only 4 stars

its just jealousy

It's definitely jealousy and he probably fancies you too..he's showing all the signsðŸ˜

I feel like a beached whale after all I've eaten and drank over the last few days but my brain isn't telling me to cop on instead it's telling me that I'm beyond repair so I might as well keep stuffing myself even if I'm not hungry..it's ridiculous and disgusting.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 28-12-2017 02:02PM

Definitely doesn't fancy me, yuck!

Wedding 2 days out.. went for a massage to de-stress this morning... Walking home the 30secs from salon slipped on ice and busted my knee. Sat here with a bag of frozen peas on it. The pain! I wanted to cry like a child*!

*I may have done that

Wedding invitation to 2 different weddings on the same day in different countries.

The adjusted the timetable recently in order to "improve punctuality". All they did was make the times a bit later so they correspond better with the times the trains do tend to turn up at. And they still manage to be late...

My brother is an actual hound and would eat his own arm off himself if he was hungry enough. We're both home for Xmas so I took it upon myself to hide one of the boxes of celebrations on him because he'd sniff them and have them digested before I'd have a wrapper open. He went back today so I boiled the kettle and began searching the press for the box I hid. I'm after finding them there, open, and empty- with a banana shoved inside.
What a little shlt! TA that I've no treat for my tea and TA that Christmas makes us both revert back to being 5 years old.
