I guess tonight my flatmates don’t understand that ‘I’m sick and going to bed now hoping to feel better in the morning’ means maybe they should turn the tv down and stop shouting.

Work Ethic
A few weeks ago I was asked by my boss to write a proposal to make me full time in the New Year.  I spent time, over the weekend, to come up with new creative ideas and opportunities for our organization to investigate as potential enrichment to our students’ experience in Dublin. On Wednesday I was informed that my boss’ boss had “officially declined” to make me a...

Why I hate the current job market...
Apparently ‘entry level’ or ‘trainee’ science jobs no longer exist. So I’m stuck in a world where I need to commit to a masters degree to get a low-level job that would help me figure out if science is where I want to be OR Not get a masters and therefore not get an entry level science job and thus go another few years trying to figure out what would be a good...

This is something I struggle with from time to time… and have seen my mother struggle with constantly.  I think it’s about time that stopped automatically focusing our positive attention on the outgoing ones and thinking quieter people to be strange and gave some more nurturing attention to everyone (this goes for children as well as adults)! psychotherapy:   Living out of sync with...

Who in their right mind can pepper spray an 84 year old?  I’m disgusted by a lot of what’s been happening lately, but this is the worst.

Suppose you were party to a lawsuit and you learned that the judge handling your case was hobnobbing with lawyers on the other side and helping to raise money for a group dedicated to defeating you in court? You’d be pretty uneasy about your prospects for an impartial hearing, wouldn’t you?

What a way to start the day...
Text from BF this morning...
"G'Morning my love, look out the window."
Me: *Look out the window, see bus pull up*
Dav: *Making goofy face at me from the top deck*
Me: *Uncontrollable grin*
Ah, the joys of working in an office at one of the major commuter bus stops in the city centre... and of adorable boys.

A Modest Proposal??
I’ve just handed my boss draft one of a proposal to be made full time in January.  He wants me to be full time as we are trying to expand opportunities for our students and this requires someone having the time to find said opportunities. I outlined the areas where we are lacking, why it’s important to grow these areas and some ideas of how we could do it… given that someone can...
