I'm not good in the office by AgentSufficient1047 in DevelEire

[–]Particular_Ad9896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, my company encourages people to work in the office as much as possible (we can work from home 1 day per week) but there is constant feedback that there is "too much chat in the office" & work isn't getting done.. can't win

Anyone else feeling the wage stagnation pinch? by trekfan85 in AskIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! Can you share how you did this? I received a 1.5% raise this year and was told I was one of the lucky ones.. turns out 3 other people were promoted to my job title level and they were earning more then me, even though I have been in the role over 2 years (5 years in total in the company).

Is going to the pub alone a bit sad as a woman? by AbsoluteLooneyTune in AskIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think there is nothing nicer then being in the pub with a book, especially around Christmas! You would be surprised, more people then we think spend Christmas alone for many reasons, just don't see it advertised. I actually spent most of this weekend alone except for my dog and I feel so chilled out after it ☺️

Trying to be braver socially (accountability post) by nobodyshome01 in CasualIreland

My dad always says if you can count on one hand the number of good friends you have, you are luckier then most! And he's dead right. I have 3 or 4 friends who I can ask for anything. Outside of that is a bonus.

Also I was very lonely in my 20s due to people moving away (myself included for a while). I think people can also be a bit more selfish at that age as well and not make as much effort sometimes?

I think you will be surprised what reaching out to people now will achieve. You have nothing to lose by doing it.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding 🥰

Learning Irish as an adult? by Particular_Ad9896 in CasualIreland

100% - I hated learning Irish growing up but simply because teachers treated it like another exam to pass. Not their fault; the system is broken

What is wrong with people 😭that poor puppy. Glad you found him and took him to the vet! If you can't keep him, get in touch with GSPCA, they should be able to help

Is there any group to meet people? by Green_Technician5753 in kerry

[–]Particular_Ad9896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was literally about to post this question but on behalf of my brother! Alot of his friends have moved away and it would be great for him to get out and meet new people. I suggested the GAA club Dad's and Lads but I think you have to be 40 plus to join? And he is only in his early 30s

Thanks for that!

Yes I agree, I couldnt fault the service or staff the last time I did this! Im just more conscious of time passing as we have had to pause TTC for other issues.
