    When you're on publc transport (what a surprise) and you're in that kind of spacey zone where you have your eyes resting on a particular area but you're not actually seeing it because you're relaxed and spacing... Then some f.ucker goes and stands in your line of vision and you have to shift your gaze :mad:

    Also, feeling bad this morning because I had to wear my wellies to work and my sidekick thought she was going walkies in the forest when she saw me putting them on :(

    TA'd at the canteen staff at work - told I'd be 5 minutes waiting for something, took almost 20 before it finally arrived. Wouldn't have waited if I'd known it would take that long.

    You can relax a piece according to RTE tonight

    A volunteer with Kildare and West Wicklow Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has said reports regarding the discovery of a dog in Kildare are not accurate and had been misinterpreted...


    Please God let it be true, so that I may still believe in humanity.

    But it's true as Lexie points out, we still have huge issues in this country concerning animal welfare :(

    People who are proud of not being competent at Mathematics in any capacity. You'd be ashamed if you were illiterate. I just don't understand how there is any difference between the two.

    I think you could get through your life without a good grasp of mathematics bar addition, multiplication and subtraction (and we have calculators and programmes to do that for us now) as long as you didn't choose an occupation that required it but you'd be fairly fooked if you couldn't read and write. I suppose people can afford to be "proud" (though I don't think it's pride tbh) to be lacking in skills in the former.

    And before you get the chance to shift your gaze they get all narked because they think you are staring a them. Fcuk you, my eyes were here first!

    I was standing at the middle bit of the Luas the other day holding onto one of the communal hand holders and every other person holding it was using their phone. I could barely look anywhere without it appearing like I was looking at what they were doing on their phones. One guy kept moving the phone like he was trying to block me from seeing. Yeah, thanks, but I have better things to be doing at 8am on a Monday morning than looking at you stalking people on Facebook mate.

    This exactly! I dunno is Cheese referring to Katie Hopkins taking the piss out of Katie Price and that Alicia girl on Big Brother who were struggling with simple mathematics (they genuinely were!), but neither of them have done too badly for themselves. I have a ten year old who has a better grasp of reading and writing than I do and I have a degree in computer science and mathematics, yet last year there we'd war when he was doing his homework and I was convinced he was doing his addition wrong.

    Fcukers only went and changed the whole curriculum so now they do 'renaming' instead of the 'carry one pay it back' stuff we did in school! That was fairly annoying alright having to have his teacher show me how they were doing their math so I could help him with his homework! :pac:

    Sad today because my er.... reason for panicking pre-sacred heart lantern is leaving :( And we had a fight over something stupid. My fault and I wonder did I do it intentionally so that there will be no goodbyes :( Who knows what the female subconscious mind is capable of, it's a loveless f.ucking abbatoir in there sometimes :rolleyes:

    TA: Because I had a fryup each morning this week, this mornings fry just didn't feel enough like a treat :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭MsBubbles


    Cheese I've always been terrible at maths. Maths classes in school were a nightmare for me. I'm not proud of it and would never in a million years boast about it.
    But I can understand other people in my situation being joking to hide their embarrassment.

    Fussy eaters.
    I'm a fussy eater, and there are many things that 'I don't like' even though I've never tried them. A few months ago, I did a food intolerance test and it suggested that I shouldn't eat eggs, pasta, mushrooms, tomatoes, and strawberries, all things that I don't like even though I've never eaten.

    The body knows...

    Meh for 5th year summer maths exam I attempted the first question, abandoned it I'm not sure if I finished it, and drew a very detailed Winnie the pooh and coloured it in on my maths paper, and handed it up. I think I got 12%, and im not sure if that was for my art or my attempt.

    I hated maths at school, used to take a trip to career guidance every Thursday during maths time, because Thursday's were double maths and #kantkope with two classes ugh.

    I still count on my fingers, not too bothered about x finding y, if x wasn't so difficult and boring y wouldnt have left in the first place, I can add, subtract and get by with the basics and that's enough for me.

    I was good at Art, that was my only A in my leaving cert, was good at irish, business, and that's much more useful to me. I'm personally not bothered that I'm crap at maths. I did enough to get into college, and get a degree so that'll do me.

    There's a man on Embarrasing Bodies with a condition called "buried penis" , I did not need to see that, it truly has been a vom inducing day :(

    Who was it buried in? Sorry, I will rephrase that.

    In whom was it buried?:)

    :P

    And also the constant identity crises that x used to have. What am I? What's my value? What am I equal to? If I am this, what is that? F.uck off x :pac:

    I'd say screw the honours maths snobbery, I did ordinary level and managed to get a chemistry degree (counting on my hand) :D

    X was too needy lol

    I loved maths at school, got an A1 in the LC, but hit a wall somewhere around second/third year of university though when everything gets bat**** insane. Ended up switching to CS at that stage...

    When I started 5th year, I was put into HL Maths. I hated it. Not because I couldn't do it, it was just so much effort. I may have been partaking in recreation drug use at the time which killed off anything that required my attention for more than 3 minutes.
    Dropped down to the other maths, finish a sum in 2 minutes, happy days.

    Then when it came to college, there was some pretty f*cking insane equations that we had to sort out, they came easily enough to me thankfully.

    I left my headphones at home, so I have to listen to the usual office noises today :(
    Really miss not having music when I'm doing any repetitive tasks!
    Maybe if I hum softly and tap my fingers, I can recreate the songs and make do...




    /awaits TA post from a colleague "FFS, there's a guy in my work humming and tapping his fingers and driving me crazy!!!"

    Gym users - who actively pay to have a work out - who park illegally or crazily in order to avoid a slightly longer walk to the door of the gym. Or then spend ages queueing for the elevator to get there instead of the stairs - and then get right on a stair master.

    Coca Cola - a relatively local bottled liquid that basically involved adding sugar to water - being significantly more expensive in Petrol Stations per litre than petrol itself - which has been mined out of the very earth - refined - and transported who knows how far.
