I changed my password for my work laptop the day I finished up for Christmas and didn't write it down... Now I'm going to have to be the dope that rings IT because I forgot my password.

My laptop harddisk decided that today is the day to fail.
The busiest day of the year for the IT support guys (due to password resets/unlocks!) and I have a harddisk failure. :mad:

I'll be like a zombie in work for the day I think...

Got to sleep around 5.45 and was up at 7.15. Felt so weird upon waking. My mind hadn't had a proper chance to rest. 1000 thoughts racing through my head. Each one more incoherent than the last.

I was reading Valley of the Squinting Windows. I got about 3/4 through it and should finish it tonight.

I had acid reflux as well when I was getting up.

:(

2 cups of industrial strength coffee have done nothing to alleviate the zombification.

Oh no please don't tell me that! I've never felt as sick in my life.

I'm dying too. After 4 and a half months being off the drink, I went on a 4 day binge of bottles of vodka and I'm violently retching and puking yesterday and today. All my own fault, of course.

I had that dreadful spice girls song about spicing up your life stuck in my head all morning

Slam it to the left
If you're having a good time
Shake it to the right
If you know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front
Uh Uh go round

I had lofty ambitions involving eating healthily, not drinking, studying, saving money, getting a promotion (applied for job before Christmas when I was feeling invincible).

Now it's time to start all this and I am sick, and I just want to sit in the corner with a duvet and eat toast and cry. Why did I just assume that I would be ok to dive head first into this new lifestyle today? Madness

Nervously waiting to be called for interview now too!

OldNotWIse · 04-01-2016 01:27PM

TA that having found out that my uncle has been siphoning off my 92 year old gran's pension for the past few years and has relieved both her current and deposit accounts of a couple of thousand euro each, my parents and my other aunts/uncles are not confronting him about it! :eek::mad:

Ally Dick · 04-01-2016 01:42PM

There I am, thinking about tonight's telly....looking forward to a leer of the lovely Miss Claire Byrne on RTE later.....might be a good row about the flooding on it.....then I check the tv guide, and what's on.......The Nathan Bloody Carter Show.....

miezekatze · 04-01-2016 01:57PM

Add me to the list of people in this thread who are back in work today after the holidays and barely getting any sleep last night.

TA that I have to take down the decorations when I get home and then clean the house, I just want to lie on my couch instead!

JillyQ · 04-01-2016 02:18PM

can't understand how people don't know how to use fog lights. It is such a simple thing, just one extra click.

everlast75 · 04-01-2016 02:59PM

I've returned to work and at some point over the break, have clearly forgotten to how to write properly.... the handwriting looks awful

jimgoose · 04-01-2016 03:14PM

I have finally figured out why Ireland, despite having nearly every advantage natural and otherwise in the book, has an economy roughly on a par with that of the Democratic Republic of The Congo. It is because all productive business is backed up and stalled behind fuckan oul' bats messing with the Lotto. :mad:

Happy new year, cunnoxen!

OldNotWIse · 04-01-2016 03:23PM

Why oh why are the shops still packed? Bad enough we had it before Christmas with people running around in a panic buying in enough food to sit out a nuclear war, then we had the greedy gut sale maniacs who hadn't quite bought enough material goods before Christmas. Now should be the quietest time but when I tried to get to Eason at lunch time the street (and shop) was packed. I'm so tired of constantly having to navigate around people, bags, buggies, bikes etc. FFS why cant everyone just feck off...

whiskeyman · 04-01-2016 03:28PM

I miss the lovely red tubs of Celebrations that littered the office before Christmas.
Come back you lovely chocolate filled wonders of joy!

I had to pop into the local BoI Towers there at lunchtime to use a lodgement machine. Handily, this is located in the middle of a shopping-centre car park and to describe it as barely-organised mentalism would be doing a grave disservice to people who have been diagnosed with some for form of insanity. What in the name a' Cheeses are they all doing in these places all day, mere days after the usual Christmas splurge??

It was here that I decided to pick up a pack of cigarettes, which took ten sodding minutes!

KatW4 · 04-01-2016 03:58PM

I love how busy it is in here today! Welcome back trivial annoyances!!

My TA is these bloody kittens... again. I tidied my room, which was an effort in itself, and now they are barging around pulling everything down from the shelves, knocking my shoes over and running around with one of my bras!!! Why can't they be all cute and snuggly???

Vodka is the devil! Hope you feel better soon. Thankfully I'm fine today. I know it was my fault, but considering all the boys were buying me drinks and I had to keep up with them, they're getting the blame too.

I was on a diet of six pints of ale each tea-time from December 18th to January 3rd, in between a decent lunch and an adequate dinner, including mince-pies and bic-bics. I feel bloody great!

I had the privilege of getting away with Mrs to the sun over the New Year...that's was very nice. My TA is the fact that there are no hygiene inspectors at airports. A RyanAir flight with mushroomy armpit fcukers for four hours is not pleasant!

Oh and why is it that (on a plane) you cannot comfortably converse with the person beside you, but you can quite clearly hear the boring bastard seven rows away?

The boom or bust mentality of the Irish is truly scary.

Complain incessantly when you you are short a few quid then go nuts and spend every penny you have and more when things pick up even slightly.

We really don't understand sustainability or forward thinking and the situation around the shops this Christmas scared me a bit to be honest. We've learned nothing.

This isn't helped by asshole retailers and their clever-dick marketing. Mrs. Goose got a €10-back-when-you-spend-€50 voucher thing there just before Christmas from a particular supermarket chain, which of course expires on the 6th. So we went to the place in question yesterday with the cunning plan of buying a half-ton or so of washing powder, which is quite expensive. Of course they didn't have the one she wanted, so for a couple of minutes we found ourselves casting about ourselves for what else to spend €50 on to get back a tenner that doesn't exist and never did, not much more than a week after the annual monster €300 Christmas grocery-fest-a-palooza. It so happened that I recovered first and called shtall-the-digger - let's call to a different branch of the same place on Monday or Tuesday! :pac:

I feel guilty about giving out about the kittens now. Luna (the one who hates me) has come over and climbed on my lap and is asleep now. I might cry because of how cute she is right now!

My own stupendous gravity distorts spacetime in a pleasingly Einsteinian way, drawing all beer, ham and mince-pies in the cosmic vicinity to myself. I am what astronomers call, in the trade, a Fat Giant. I do emit the occasional Gamma-burst, but I put that down to the sprouts.

If you are going to be technical about it then you should have mentioned how time also gets distorted in the gluttony of the black hole known as christmas!

What's actually happening there is that time slows as it warps around me. It's nervous in case I eat it.

I know the store. My folks do this religiously every single week. It drives me mad how much money they spend there and 300 in a week wouldn't be abnormal for them at any time of the year. The huge amount of unnecessities drives me mad. Frozen pizzas, slabs of coke and novelty kid yoghurts for my 36 year old man-child brother who has never moved out (why would he with such a set up?). Then there are copious amounts of diet yoghurts and fat free this that and the other. Litres and litres of milk that are then frozen. Miniscule, overpriced cuts of meat that roast away to nothing. Expensive toilet paper. All the while doing the poor mouth. I have given up trying to get them to go to Lidl or Aldi. They just refuse to move from that particular store. And then they put their hands out for mortgage payments. And rent. And then ask me why I haven't saved my college fees yet. I'd love to be on the wages they think I'm on. Eurgh...... :mad:
