    A person asks me..

    "Can you do X for me? I need it ASAP"
    "I can, but it will be about an hour before it will be ready"
    "Oh, really, go on so, but as quick as you can"
    "Ok, but will be an hour or so"

    Person returns after forty mins

    "is it not ready yet? I know you said an hour, but I didn't think it would take that long, look, I will get back to you about it tomorrow"

    that's when I start to sharpen that axe...

    Sitting on the Luas on one of those backward-facing seats.

    I was sitting on one today and there were two fellas sitting in front of me. I didn't know where to look.
    Looking out the window to my right gave me a crick in that side of my neck and the same when I looked left.

    Looking straight on down the carriage means I'm looking at other passengers, so I settled my eyes on looking at the tops of buildings out the window going by.
    My eyeballs hurt afterwards.

    Never look directly at anyone on public transport.

    When I'm being served by a girl or a woman in at a cash-register, I never know where to look. I don't want to look at their face in case it makes me look like a weirdo. And when they're handing me my change I never know where to look because their hand is always in the line of sight of their chest..... so.... ye know.... And then I leave the shop feeling stressed! And here's a photo of me http://a608.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/100/Purple/v4/c5/8d/da/c58dda2d-c4bd-b7a2-4215-2c1bccaa01b1/mza_28873666153352053.jpg

    The one day I finish work early and my car is waiting for me with a lovely flat tyre. :(
    It's grand I'm used to doing things for myself.
    What annoys me is, the other girls I work with would've had the lads falling over them to fix it..(during their work hours.) I mentioned it to one of the lads and he laughed.

    Drivers of suv's who give me horrible looks because I cover my eyes when I'm dazzled by the vehicle's bright headlights. My eyes are very sensetive I know. I'm not covering them with my hands to insult ye!

    Before I joined Boards I actually thought people did work in work, now it seems to me that it's about 10% work. 40% boards and 50% lounging around. :p

    Not being sure if you're ill or not.

    I've had a queasy tummy since last night and I've had to run to the loo more often than usual. But other than that, I feel alright.
    I had Shepherd's Pie earlier, thinking I was fine, but after a while I felt very full and gassy.

    I also have heartburn and I had some milk to ease it. But now the milk has made me feel even more queasy.
    I'm either ill or I'm not ffs! Make up your mind tummy!

    :mad::mad::mad::mad: So, I got to my hospital appointment today and after 15 minutes of queuing at reception I was told that my appointment is next month. So basically someone changed my appointment and didn't inform me of the change. 4 fricking buses for nothing.:mad:

    Well this seems super-trivial now after Pumpkinseeds' post, but still. When there are a million studio logos before the movie actually starts!! So annoying! This clip from Family Guy parodied it a few years ago and was slightly exaggerative at the time but it's becoming more and more realistic these days!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYvKM3laDYo

    That reminds me..Last week I was at the hospital, went to the relevant department and waited (it was really busy).

    About half an hour later, my name was called by a nurse who told me I needed to go to the X-ray department.
    I said "Why didn't you tell me this when I arrived? I've been sitting here half an hour doing nothing"

    I also don't get why they couldn't mention on my appointment letter "Go to X-ray before coming to the department".

    Also, why oh why do hospitals/doctors make appointments for certain times but NEVER EVER see you on time?!

    There's a certain department that I have to go to every year or two, and they give out all the appointments for 3 different times (say 20 people get 9AM, 20 get 12PM, and 20 get 2PM), which is an absolute joke. I usually end up there until half 6 when I have the 2PM appointment.

    Any time I've been to a GP or a specialist, I've never not been left waiting a considerable amount of time after the appointment time before I've been seen. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone to be seen on time by these people. So why don't they stop predicting appointment times so wrong? :confused:

    Excuse the grammar. I'm so tired.
