Some day Gongoozer..... some day, you'll be stuck at your desk, slaving away and distraught knowing you won't be able to pop out for lunch... but alas!!
Your saviour! Every day he's asked you, and today will be no different... Your predicament of hunger will be no more as he'll be your knight in shining armour, ready to purchase foodstuffs for you... but will today be the day he asketh no more?
Do you wish for that day to arrive Gongoozer?
Do you?

TA - people who walk past my desk in the morning and don't say hello / good morning back as I greet them.
FFS, just fupping acknowledge you freaks! I'm trying to help your morning!
I guess not everyone is a morning person...

Up there with the non-greeter in your case is a non-greeter who just looks at you but says nothing after you've greeted. What's that about?! Probably the sort that perceive themselves as your betters, no doubt. Now, unless I'm sure, I always wait for them first and do as they do.

I got that this morning... someone I'm not used to seeing in the office.
I still blurt out 'hello', only to be met by a reaction as if I'd two heads!

'Why is this person greeting me with such a friendly tone?!?!'

More of a major annoyance than a TA but anyway....

so if you go to the printer to print of all your documents and its run out of paper, don't f**king walk away and leave it, how about filling the tray so your print job can finish!! Went to use the printer just now, huge yellow flashing error across the screen saying load trays!!! Done that & the remaining 50 odd pages of a document comes out, while I have to wait for it all to finish before I can print my 1 page! :mad:

Whats worse is when someone says they can't refill the tray because it isn't a part of their job description.

Percentage of times I remember to tag on when using the Luas: 99%

Percentage of times that I start to sweat handing over my leap card to an inspector because I can't remember if I tagged on or not: 50%

Remember when people used to read a book on the bus? They used to work without wifi or power. Or some people just looked out the window as the world went by...

Remember it well. Do it quite often. If I'm not working. But this was part of my working day, and I was aiming to do work on the bus - which I did through using my phone as a hotspot.

It's really not a big deal to not be able to work during my working day for a while, hence it being a trivial annoyance.

Some absolute DICKHEAD with one of those massive big baby carriers on the FRONT of his bike just pulled straight out of a junction without stopping at all and then when he did decided to stop, the baby carrier part was out on the main road and he was in safely behind the junction and me booting towards the kids. Not even a light on his bike.

Lash the kids out in front of traffic there buddy, long as you're ok, be grand sure. Prick.

Was that around the luas line on the new slip road near the Gallops estate (Murphystown Rd)
I seen similar guy in all his cycling gear with 2 kids on a front 2 seat carrier (cool looking contraption) cycling thru the red lights at the Y junction there, didn't notice his head turning to see if cars were coming the other way,

Losing a shopping list.
Had a good big long list of stuff we needed but seem to have lost it.

So now I will only discover that we need X when I go to use X and will be TA'ed that I dont have X because I lost the damned shopping list that had X on it- damnit!

They probably want to put a brand new engine into it. You could always get one from a breakers yard, but then you'd have to find someone to fit it. Happened to me before and I just changed it myself - new engine for €600!

I'm wondering would a new one be cheaper, cant get one in a breaker or IVI on Naas road, (but said he'd ring around for me),
It's a rareish car but not a posh one, I wont say what it is cause guy in garage says he has to do a report on it and send it to the distributor and they "may" do something for me, cause it could be bad for their reputation as soooo reliable.
If not i'll be back here tearing strips off it, :mad:

It really annoys me when out of no where and when your least expecting it , up pops the Spanish Inquisition with the red hot pincers,and their rack and all their other torture crap.Hard to relax when those feckers are around I tell you.

I just cancel the other print job in that case and print my own stuff.

People are constantly asking me if I'm planning on having kids soon these days, especially people who hardly know me. It's really none of their business, but I always feel like I need to be polite and give some vague answer.

A lot of Irish short films have a trailer!

Hopped on the scales and yes I have neither lost nor gained a single pound since June. In the year up until that point, I lost nearly 2 stone. And now that I'm about 6-7 pounds off my ideal weight, feck no, the body just doesn't want to know. I've never put in as much cardio as I have this summer and nope, not a pound came off.:(:mad:

I paid 1.10 for some sweets from a vending machine at an unmanned petrol station near Dublin airport. The machine kept the sweets.

Later, this evening, the garage owner will chew on some nice freeby pastilles.

Nice Shoes, though

Of course, no one expects the Spanish inquisition!
Great address, by the way

One of my cats died

someone knocked him down and my bf only found him this evening. It's not trivial but I had no where else to write it. RIP Captain

Now I know the weather is fantastic for October, but I have to cut the feckin grass AGAIN.

Will it ever stop growing at all.

Being in a single bed when I'm used to a double.

Sleeping problems generally, when I'm usually a great sleeper.

justchecked · 16-10-2015 01:34AM

Song stuck in head.

Its like one part of my brain is having a house party at 3am and the other part is banging on the walls, will ya shut up in there, but to no avail.

Computer programs and mobile apps that you cannot use offline.

One eyed Jack · 16-10-2015 05:47AM

I'm half thinking I'm better off going back to bed already before this days even started. I'd a fight with the coffee tin because the lid was jammed on, wouldn't come off at all, only for I'd to wedge it off with a knife, and then I'd to plaster up my fingers before I could make myself a coffee as the knife kept slipping. If I find out the young lad superglued the tin for the giggles, I swear, it'd be something like he'd do :rolleyes:

I updated all our phones to the latest Windows Phone 10 last night, there's a couple of apps still aren't working right with it, so I'd to switch from my usual browser. I don't mind change and having to adapt to change most of the time, but sometimes - pain in the arse

Like the beta touch site, the Boards one that is, it's like twitter on acid, those love hearts sweets, the 'capsules' theme from MS Publisher '97. There's too many elements on the page ffs, crazy altogether, you'd need a 50" screen to accommodate what they're trying to display on 5"...

"But it's all colours and shìt!"

Oh, that reminds me, the irritating twat yesterday who came out with -

"Won't feel Christmas now"...

Fit to snap
