AMA on boards with a lad who worked in a refugee camp in Greece. Wonder how long it will take to degenerate into a shitshow?

'an illness that will freak out the parents of the other kids' is the real red line, otherwise they're not bothered. You'll be there in a few months putting skin tone make-up on her face to cover up an outbreak of chicken pox so you can sneak her into the crèche and laugh (manically) that you once considered a mild cold a deterrent.

the place is a fucking germ factory.
I dont think she has had a week not sick since

My lads have snail trails on their upper lip 24/7. I don’t think I’d recognise them without snot ‘taches. I was hardly sick before they showed up but have had some embarrassing pukey sessions since. Once putting the bigger one into the car , I hadn’t got him strapped in yet and was on my knees puking, with one hand holding him in place. Dignity Smignity.

Going for no.2 anytime soon? Tis great fun. Just come home from work and lie on the carpet. They thinks it’s a game and everyone admires superdad, meanwhile you are getting some much needed rest. The pretend snoring is also hilarious (I’m told)

no.2 was discussed but is on the back burner for the moment.
FIL may be joining us in "The Gaff™" whenever that happens so we need to get ducks in a row first.

Waiting since 9am for Eircon to install FTTH.

OpenEir called me yesterday to confirm today, zero contact from anyone taday, so frustrating dealing with that company.

I signed up online last week for one price and they mail me the next day with a completely different price, they said on the phone the online system cant do discounts.

Very tempted to tell them to GTFO and order from Digiweb, the only negative going that route is they charge a €200 installation fee with a higher p/m charge but i think it will be worth it just to have no more dealings with them.

[Raoul Duke III]

Read up on it mate, the Germans don’t mess around it’s not like Ireland one of the potential coalition parties said they would rather not govern at all than govern badly.

I tell you what, let's have a bet on this.

I say there won't be another German GE. You say there will.

Winner is the one who is correct within 6 months.

Even wager of your choice of size. Mate.

[MrsFlushdraw]

I don't get these home assistant things. Unless it can cook or clean it's no use to me. I've never (outside of one off novelty factor) done a voice search on the phone, or created an appointment, written a text, etc. that way either.

The little one used it loads before she could read and write. She found games to download and youtube videos by using the voice part of google.

We were just talking about this today, one day Aimee wont want to come up and have her movie night in bed beside me and love being able to sleep in with me on a Friday night. You don't really notice the transition and it isn't till you think back that you can't remember when a certain behaviour like lifting them up, sitting with them on your knee etc suddenly stopped.

They grow too bloody fast

For those on FB as can't find the video link outside of it. All so true.

So apparently I'm playing in the BSOP Sao Paulo (pokerstars) media tournament next week. My gf's mate runs a gaming website over here and has given me credentials as he can't play. I'm going to be "taught" how to play poker by professionals and some sports celebrities/ambassadors. Ronaldo and Neymar are apparently ambassadors. Unlikely to be them but you'd never know.

I am not interested in a dick measuring contest on this.

Every single media organisation is saying what I said in my initial post, nothing is set in stone but a new election is a distinct possibility.

But I am happy to revisit this on 23 May 2018 to see if an election has been called.

10 percent more than your on or whatever you ask for with in reason. Bloomberg are good payers for most thing so will be more than competitive. Can call them and find out for you obv but not really my area I just give them software devs.

The guy who does data science in my office will be able to fill you in and is good at what he does if you want to chat to him let me know and I will pm you his number or you can send me yours. He only covers Ireland tho.

On boards I seem to remember they have said you can use Eir for the quicker install, cancel during the 14 day cooling off period then switching to Digiweb avoiding the install fee.

Ah but what if I'm overpaid?

Ireland is what I'm after tbh. If not now, in 12-18 months.

Just trying to figure out what kind of jobs are available that I should be trying to work towards. Wouldn't have an issue applying for that role tbh, not much I'm missing.

I might pop into yis when I'm home at Christmas to see if there's anything of interest.

Let me know and I will grab a coffee or pint which ever suits you best.

Plenty of work in Dublin and some in much more interesting areas than just financial services and gambling if you want to branch out into really big datasets and something a little more aulteristic

Best reason to use an agent is to make sure you get your market value, if they are willing to pay up to 100knand you say you want 60k not surprisingly you will get 65k so that they show how much they value you.

[Guest]

I know you were saying you primarily work with software developers Richie but what's your thoughts on financial services roles being more readily available outside of Dublin.
I know there has been talk of companies moving outside of Dublin or new companies setting up outside but I don't see many roles advertised.

Some companies have secondary offices outside of Dublin but the majority seems to still be in Dublin. Might be true but I haven't noticed much move out.

I would be massively in favour if that's the question.

Pain in the hole alright, going through it right now.

So so good for them though. Now is the time you want them invaded with all sorts of shit. Makes them strong bro.

I'm more curious on the likelihood, I've noticed a bit more popping up but they're pretty rare.
State Street in Kilkenny etc.

I would imagine a lot of people would jump at the opportunity to take a role outside of Dublin if they were paid close to an equivalent salary.

State Street in Kilkenny been there at least ten years probably more not a new move.

I will not look forward to finishing a billing cycle with Eir though, horror stories i have heard.
