Jesus, you don't want to end up in Cork... at least you can understand what they say in Dublin. I'm Irish and I feel like a foreigner in CorkOriginally posted by stek View PostWhat a shiite day!
The Bob in question apparently has 'communication issues' and we've been told to explain things clearly and concisely - not easy over a phone line with no facial movements to aid understanding and the quality of connection sounding like a hailstorm.
Anyway, one week left and now I'm getting requests to do stuff beyond my last week, everyone's effed off on holiday leaving me to hold the fort, agent is adamant I'm done next friday, and the only decent lead I have is a role in Cork, welcome to the Hotel Ireland.......
So, Im here in the Copper Bar in Sandyford, Dublin 18 if anyone is local (doubt it) having a €7 Leffe and maybe €16 bit of fish and three chips later.
At least cos theres no one in tmrw I don't need to start at six to get away early for the airport!
Shame that... we were near enough 2 weeks ago. We get on the M50 at Sandyford and Spod always bitches about going North to go South....
