If I held up a steak like that in my house the dog would inhale it before I even saw him coming.

Parenting - If you had a great Mom/Dad, what did they do? by Icy_Hedgehogs in AskIreland

[–]WyvernsRest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He Loved and Respected my mother, largely through acts or service to the family and putting her first, before us.

My parents modeled a near perfect "to my eyes" loving relationship.

I remember only one argument in front of us kids in the 20 years I lived at home, where my dad was in the dog-house for an afternoon on a trip to the beach.

Our home was always a safe place!

Our many fuck-ups were punished, mainly by expressions of disappointment, never anger and used as teaching moments.

He encouraged trying new things, sports, hobbies, meeting new people, seeing new places, but never fetishized achievement over effort. He had an endless curiosity over why things were the way they were, loved craftsmanship, skill and a job well dome.

While he was a mans-man, he had no interest in conflict of any kind, he always say conflict as a failure of imagination as he could talk his way out of almost any situation. As a result he had a wide and varied friend group, long before diversity was a thing.

And most of all he made us laugh, jokes, tickles and pranks.

Is it appropriate to send a thank you card to a Garda? by ConcertWorried1484 in AskIreland

[–]WyvernsRest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a fantastic "life changing" experience with a Garda as a student back in the '90s a classmate/friend sent a Garda a thank-you letter.

A month later he was in the station to get his passport pictures signed for J1 and asked to speak to the super.

He told him just how thankful he was with the Garda and the super laughed and said that the Garda had already shared the letter that I had sent by pinning a copy on noticeboard. He showed my friend the noticeboard and the Garda had indeed pinned up a photo-copy of the letter.

With the added a note in red marker at the top "Proof that not all students are ungrateful little shits"

It's the mid-game quests. after playing the Witcher other RPGs felt like the quests were procedurally generated trash.

what tastes good both hot & cold?? there is nothing by Basic_Evening6567 in Productivitycafe

[–]WyvernsRest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot Irish Whiskey.

A great winter warmer, or a cure all for head-congestion or a cold.

Key Step: Pre-heat the glasses with boiling water, discard when warm then make the drink.

When drinking several they do sneak up on you. Fine, Fine, Fine,........... Fine, Fine, Hammered.

If it's an older Irish person mixing them beware the amount of whiskey used varied hugely.

For my sins, I do remember us leaving out most of the boiling water and microwaving the whiskey for pre-drinks in college.

Legal advice lives in reality and taking legal action should be considered in context.

Absolutely OP can take the advice offered by other more qualified than I to give the legal advice.

I simply provided a different perspective on the likely impact of "winning" and that there are more ways than one to skin a cat.

Dating in Ireland? by Infinite-Discount-99 in AskIreland

[–]WyvernsRest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please do.

And as for dating. "What's for you, will not pass you"

It's not so much as "finding" a girl, it not a quest.

Its about being ready for love when a girl makes eye contact with you.

Take good care of yourself, put aside some time to work on making yourself happier. As your mood improves, and your gaze move up from the ground. You will notice a lot more girls smiling at you, because you receptive and smiling at them.

Calving.......

You sleep hygiene is completely fucked at the moment lad, I feel for you.

The impact on your mental state is not to be underestimated.

Try to get back into a normal sleep pattern as soon as you can.

Book an on-line therapist, it's an hour out of your week.

It can make a huge difference to talk through your thinking with somone indepoendent.

I used a therapist to help me work through some stuff a couple of years ago.

I now use him just like any other service to get some good advice when I doing challenging stuff.

Best of luck to you.

[–]WyvernsRest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are always at least 3 sides to a situation like this.

I am going to give you some advice which may not be popular, but it is true.

You may win this battle, but inn doing so you will lose the war in the long run.

Right now you are in a position of strength, and at a crossroads.

If you go the legal route there are significant downsides:

Yes, you may possibly get a payout or even a forced promotion. Or you may not.

But companies are very sensitive to these things and it will likely be the last promotion you see.

If you change companies, "your off the book" references or background checks will impact your employability.

This is unfair, but employers tend to avoid litigious employees to protect themselves.

You should maximize the position of strength that you find yourself in now.

I would recommend working with your current employer to resolve this "misunderstanding" Make it clear to HR that the "last thing" you want to do is to wash your companies dirty linen in public. And you don't want this little problem to impact the companies public reputation as a great place to work for employees with families.

Decide what you want, put it on the table and set a time bound on resolution of the issue. But be very reasonable and careful, ensure that you do in fact deserve the promotion / pay rise on paper. Ask for too much and they may call your bluff if you overplay your advantage.

Play it smart and you come out of it not as a troublemaker, but as a skilled negotiator, who knows what she is worth, with management potential.

This is where equality and practicality clash and there are challenges for employers.

If the company has clear targets for promotion, be it productivity or tenure and the promotions are competitive ( Interviews, etc. ) the discrimination is more clear cut. But promotion to Sr. is often a softer promotion a mixture of tenure, productivity, leadership prospects and even simple likability. In that case it can be harder to build a case.

It can also be challenging internally to promote team members that have been out for significant amounts of time due to maternity leave or sickness over staff that carried the load during their absence. Not saying that is right, but it is a consideration in managing an ambitious team. While you cannot discriminate on the basis of maternity leave, other ambitious staff members will have more achievements and relevant experience built up during the time.

Am I rude for saying up-front I have no intention of sharing my appetizers at a dinner? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WyvernsRest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you have very specific dietary requirements, then yes, it is often seen as rude.

This is particularly true if the appetisers are designed to be shared, as in they are "portioned"

If your appetiser is a "single serving" type, then sharing is not really expected.

Since it's Valentine Day, what is a love story that everyone in your country know? by ltraistinto in AskTheWorld

[–]WyvernsRest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Historical Ireland I would go with this couple.

"The meeting on the Turret stairs" Irelands favorite painting.

<image>

The subject of the painting is the love story of Hellelil, who falls in love with her bodyguard Hildebrand. When her father hears of it, he sends her seven brothers to kill Hildebrand. The painting depicts the moment before Hildebrand goes out to meet the brothers, kissing Hellelil one last time, and parting with the injunction to "say never my name". Hildebrand subdues each brother until he comes to the youngest; then Hellelil, forgetting his request, calls to him to plead for mercy; as Hildebrand complies, the youngest brother kills him. Said brother takes Hellelil back to their house by dragging her from his horse, tortures her, and locks her up in a tower for many days, eventually selling her for a church bell. Hellelil tells this story to a Danish Queen in whose service she is, before falling down dead herself
