Some arseholes I wouldn't sell a room to, so they showed me.. Looks like I may need a new job, it's always been a little dodgy, but that's the 1st time anything's actually happened. Miss Acornvilla demands I quit thou.

The lad was arrested and questioned. Also kicked in the hotel door and damaged some cars in the carpark after, so hopefully he gets what's coming to him..

Been working nights at reception in a (72 room) hotel for the past year part time. Limerick is not the city to be doing that craic in I've learned. Have had to call the gards a few times and get threatened once a fortnight, but the weekend was the 1st time something serious happened to me. We don't have any security on which is just retarded and most of the time I'd be the only member of staff on all night no matter how busy it is.

It's all those people from outside Limerick you see. Probably Shamrock Rovers fans. Were they waving umbrellas?

Got my place in Geomatics in DIT. Now the dilemma ensues. Come home early and complete first year, defer second 3rd and 4th and then see out a year in Canada. Or defer and complete out the degree in one swoop.

ARGH!

I find myself camping out in the Ireland section as I just can't keep up with Sean South and his ilk.

Chock full if you will.

Crazy so-and-so.

But best of luck with that.

I'm considering college full-time again at 30. That's slightly crazier. Call me in 5 years when I an afford stuff again.

People bitching about the world cup on social media, especially by posting crap 'ironic' articles about it, are starting to **** me off. Obviously the solution to the World Cup being everywhere is to post more stuff about the World Cup, right?

“an angry corkman can sense a quarehawk from a mile away. If you are attacked, you may be able to escape by distracting the corkonian with talk of hillbillys chicken, or the saipan incident, but be aware that if you don’t make a clean getaway the corkman may be angrier than before”.

What were you fired for?

Cause.

I'll paste in the email I got...

Dear [BonnieShels],

This letter is to inform that your employment with [company] is terminated for cause, effective immediately. If you have any inquiries regarding this decision, feel free to respond to this email.

Payment for your final shifts will be available for pick-up at the next regular payday after 6:00pm. If you are unavailable at that time it will be left in the mailbox for you to pick up at your convenience.

You will need to keep the company informed of your contact information so that we are able to provide information you may need in the future.

I don't mind, but what annoyed me most was that I was in the office with the bosses the night before til 930 and not a bean was said to me.

Have you already had warnings and/or disciplinary hearings for some alleged misconduct/breach of contract or did your dismissal come out of the blue completely?

At least I don't resort to personal insults, passive aggressive comments and general sh*t stirring when I disagree with someone. I much prefer lads like Stutts, Invincibile and Charwin who debate something constructively without losing the rag.

I have been called a bell end, a moron and myriad other things but I've never felt like packing it in! Hang in there lads and don't get frustrated. It's a football forum. If we all agreed with each other, it would be a boring place!

You are right. There is a difference to debate and what was perceived as your overbearing intransigence. You are a welcome addition to this forum as are most here.
But it isn't by accident say that I have been a daily visitor here for over 5 years. It's one of the best places devoted to football on the internet and it's because of the moderation of both the admins, dahamsta and the self moderation of those of us who call this place home.

We like our little corner of the internet and everyone of us is here because we enjoy debate and arguing about soccer but you have to admit that sometimes people just don't get on. Over the World Cup I will honestly say that your contributions have been more measured and welcome and that's what happens when you don't constantly defend every single contribution.

Nope. They couldn't possibly have been Given that I only got the call for an interview on the Thursday in question.

The only thing I can think of is that they simply didn't like me. Which is all fine and dandy but you know, say it to my face and don't pussy out of it. Fuppin' Canadians.

In other news after having several looooong chats with my mates and ex and everyone in between I am going to take my place in DIT for 2014. Home in 3 months! ARGH!

I suppose you're not bothered enough about it to seek legal advice given you were going to resign anyway? Very unusual. I'd have thought they'd have been legally obliged to provide some form of explanation other than "just cause". Or a fore-warning even.

Cheers. Thankfully the Dept of Labour here deals witgh these cases. I get my pay on Friday and I have asked for a letter of explanation and my ROE (Canadian P45) to be included therein. At that stage I will take a case.
