Ohhh - thanks for the tip. It might be useful for others.
It just kills me, when I see them used as presents for kids in Direct Provision, so that they can choose their present with one4all card. It is well meant. But they can't really use them. It isn't a present at all.
Breaks my heart.

I know someone, who got an interview to work for Grammarly. He said to me he was never as glad to get a job. They could give Amazon a run for their money with their work culture.
This is not surprising at all.

It is frustrating, as often they're giving out to marginalised communities to help them out (kids in Direct Provision). As groups often can't give cash out for a variety of reasons.
Now, they essentially can't use them. That money has just gone to some company's profit margins.

The overpolicing on this train was something I had never seen before. I always book the G carriage, which is the quiet carriage.
There were several announcements for people to be quiet on that carriage and security checking it regularly to see, if it was quiet.
We were all quiet? Wild stuff.

So OTT! Up until 2020 you could buy cans from the trolley on Irish Rail. If I take Dublin to Belfast train, I can buy a bottle of prosecco on the Enterprise.
But with Irish Rail, you get met by the Gardai at Heuston for having a drink on the train.

Someone was drinking on the train - an announcement was made, the people consuming alcohol. The Gardai will be waiting for them at the next train station.
Ridiculous carry on. Criminalising and arresting people for drinking alcohol on the train. I actually can't.

My feelings summed about International Women's Day. It is always one I feel not very included in. Despite working in a gendered industry dominated by women.

Cork, thank you for having me.
I had to finish up early, as I have a lot on next week. Including a two day trip with a client, dinner date with another client and then escaping Dublin for Paddy's weekend to go party in Berlin π«

I loved those rubber elasticy things. I was devo, when they discontinued those. I did wear those training, as it would wear a polo neck to cover it.
The issue aren't the buds themselves. I never lose those. It is the buds with the box in them, which I lose.

But does the jbl buds need to be turned on? As my problem is that I lose the box with buds in it, while disconnected and turned off. I put the box with buds in it somewhere, then I never find them again.

Unfortunately, I can't use those. I do a very specialised gymnastics sport. They would be too dangerous. As they can get caught in equipment.

Nooo - nightmare stuff. These earbuds are such a fucking curse. I need them for a type of training I do, as it is too unsafe with headphones. They're the bane of my existence.

I am extremely bad for losing earbuds, not one side, but just the box. I tend to always 2 back up sets. They're cheap ones from JBL, that cost like β¬25 each.
I literally had one yesterday for 2 hours. I fucking lost it between my place and the gym - a 2 mins walk π

A load of things I had planned, have just been cancelled on me. Not sure, what's going on.
This includes the place I was supposed to use for Dublin to meet people at the end of next month.
I had to spend yesterday and today cancelling all my clients.
Absolute admin headache π

I am just glad to see the drafts are now here! Which was honestly my only pet peeve. And people kept doing comparisons to the Musk site. But that stops to have calmed down.
I loved using it for the Irish General Election tho!

Yeah, my other SWer pal said the same thing.
Selfishly, I do need it for work primarily, not just advocacy. A lot of clients still use Musk's site, but with no reach there. It sounds like here is a better option.

Nooo - I can recommend you my guy. But he doesn't do hands on work tho. I was devo, when my other moved on too for better prospects.
I miss her so much, as I liked her personality better. But the other guy actually did fix chronic issue that I had for 6 years in a few sessions.
