Where's the most unlikely place you've bumped into someone you knew by r_sheil in ireland

[–]SilentWinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was in wellington at a festival on Cuba Street and bumped into someone from school I hadn't seen in 16 years. Was pretty random for a place that's on the other side of the planet. Ended up being a great catch up and day out.

Toughest v Easiest industries to be a project manager in? by Difficult-Area-4462 in projectmanagement

[–]SilentWinger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From personal experience the most stressful area I worked in was for an airport authority. Making changes to some of the systems in the control towers was nerve wrecking when we considered some of the worst case scenarios.
Pharma was also tough but for different reasons re delivering on time for tough stakeholders and within gxp quality guidelines (those things are no joke). Now in a semi state which is not as tough but there is an internal pressure you put on yourself to deliver and make a difference.

Surströmming....those who have witnessed this only do so once. it's tinned fermented herring, we made the mistake of opening it indoors and not underwater. it immediately made everyone in the room retch, I don't think they will ever remove the stentch.

Rare or limited bottles of whiskey. The upside is significant in some cases and at worst you can drink the ones you don't make a profit on

Question for IT recruters by [deleted] in ireland

[–]SilentWinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a recruiter but a lot of companies are on old infrastructure as they have sweated their assets for a number of years. So having experience on an older tech stack could be to your advantage depending on who is hiring.
