Catriona O'Brien Irish Companion

It is the fucking worst. They're massive pricks about it too.

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.

Last night we watched Riki-Oh: The Story Of Riki, a 1991 Hong Kong movie set in the scariest science fiction world of all, a world where PRISONS ARE RUN FOR PROFIT and therefore all prisoners are slaves. Can't imagine that happening in real life. Incredible movie, never fails to impress.

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 💫

Wrecks my head. T2 is that bit better. But T1 is atrocious. My bag is always last for some reason.

They're not mine, but I live with these two menaces since the summer. They love trying to steal my takeaway on a regular basis.

Yeah, it is why I would never buy any fancy ones. As I would lose them in no time.

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.

Yeah, I feel like I am personally responsible for JBL's profit margins atp

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.

Nooo - I literally lose the box everywhere, earbuds in them too. It is driving me demented. Cause of the sport I do. I can't use big headphones, so am chained to these bloody things.

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 €25 each.

I literally had one yesterday for 2 hours. I fucking lost it between my place and the gym - a 2 mins walk 😭

The other thing that got cancelled is my fave gym class this evening. I was devo to get this news. It is like the highlight of my week 💔

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 😭

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!

Look, I just need the rain to cop on a bit. That's all I am asking. I can even handle the grey, as even as a May baby. The weather is often shit then.

Honestly, even seeing the traction on here I am getting just from this tweet is telling me, that it is worth it alone.

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.

I will be honest, finding it tough to start from scratch on a new platform, especially after being suspended on the other one.

Just feels so disheartening, going to post more here, as my another SW pal convinced me. As the traction is better.

I miss just chatting shit on a text based platform!

Living for this.

Screaming at this.

Making comments on tiktok videos has decimated my notifications. My video won't push past 200 views, but I will get 4k likes on a silly comment in 30 mins.

‘The Department of Justice spokesperson said having people wait longer means they forge a stronger connection with the country “demonstrated over time”.’

The proposal to fast track applications for people who join the military shows what patent bullshit that is.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Thanks a mil to the lovely reg, who always gifts me home made brownies, when we see each other 🥰

Updating my housemate on this. They will be v disappointed.

Got a load of messages on my IG and work email asking about my Twitter account.

I created a new one. Give me a follow, if you're still on there.
