He is exactly the clientele they are looking for; early 30's, well dressed, Southside blueblood, earning good money, always has at least one high maintenance girl on the go but usually a few more and doesn't have a penny in savings. Basically an unmarried Ross O'Carroll Kelly and proud of it.
He thinks it may have been his worst waste of money ever and he is not very good with money.

The description of the guy above is exactly who they are looking for. Paired with cunts who watch Made in Chelsea.
I've heard it bandied about as a possible destination for a couple of things. I'll be avoiding.
AND
We were recently given a fairly decent amount of a Gift Voucher for The Ivy
On the plus side, Mrs Lao Lao does not take shit food and bad service lightly so when we eventually get around to using it, I may suggest we spend it all on alcohol. Either that or it will be entertaining watching her chastise the poor fookers who are on that night

Interesting few days on the work front.
Company now offering paid OT and bonus payments for delivery on projects. Project teams will get a large % of each projects bonus figure to divy amongst themselves. AND will be paid OT to deliver. Pretty lucrative albeit 12 hour days to make the dinero. Inherent risk with working for a services firm is the job security although this seems to not be an issue right now.
On the other hand, my old work came back to me asking me to "come home". Offered me 15% less cash than I'm currently on but total comp including bonus and stock/share purchase matching would be 15% more. Job security here is fine.
Any advice on other things to consider here? Whats the right line?This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

On the other hand 12 hour days are fine for a while but it’s a poor long term plan. Just hire more people and have happy staff.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

My main reason for hoping for a bit of feedback is I'm not sure about the whole tone. Tried to keep it readable, but maybe as a result it reads too simple? Maybe it misses the point.
Will be running it past some fellow profs, but somewhat distrust their ability to guage a good piece of writing

If it’s a business case and you will want to monitise the research than some figures for how big the industry is, how many other uni’s have spun out startups and what companies are currently sponsoring campuses and to what levels.
If it’s to justify the courses that will be taught then perhaps a look at how many open jobs in AI, machine learning and deep learning are available. There is a lot written about employment trends on this, we did a tech survey that covers briefly in conjunction with Trinity. If you remind me Monday I will send it on to you.
If it’s an intro to AI than I think it’s a bit wordy to be honest and a bit light on actual insight.
I also think you not supposed to say it used by hr to find the best employees. Everyone is treated like the unique little snowflake they are and valued for what makes them different rather than boxed off into quantifiable traits to be auto sorted. You will definitely have some weirdo complain.
Maybe go with something that’s a little bit more prominent in industry like the unsexy network analytics or the slightly more sexy but perhaps more easy to understand high frequency trading.
I like figures and tangibles so I would load a few in but perhaps I’m not exactly the target group.

Would that change your thoughts, or you'd still be of the same opinion?
Main page text is just this (with name of school removed):
I'm a little bit concerned that I might have switched a bit too much towards a hustler sales pitch in my attempt to avoid the dryness of academia. Plus yep, I write too many words!

This speech appears to be synchronised with the 'Kitchen Cabinet' op-ed which now appears to be a collective effort trying to reassure the outside world that there are some adults still in the building. I'm reading that they are doing it now as a sign that they are pessimistic about the forthcoming elections.Turning millions into thousands

Just found out the Limerick team were singing Sean South in the changing room after winning the hurling, this has been broadly seen as a good thing in the Irish media
Attack happened in 1957
What am I missing?
The team also sang Zombie

Zombie is a song by a Limerick band.
Standard enough to sing songs about/by people from your county I'd have thought?

Sean South, 1957 attack across the border, sang in the home of a 32 county sport, by a team that are supposed to be from a (partially state sponsored) all inclusive sport
Zombie... Anti IRA(and the rest) song
What riddle?

This nations league will cause hilarious confusion among players when it gets down to the playoff stages. We can lose every match in the next two years and still almost certainty end up in a league A playoff spot despite being in League B and relegated to league C for the next tournament.Last edited by The Situation; 08-09-18, 18:34.Profit before people.
