Dossing for a few days but got a call from an agency today for Pfizerâs,might have to take it 6/7 weeks work but from past experience theyâre hard to deal with ( all)seanie McGrath ( former cork great) is the only decent part of it , heâs fairly decent and honest, but a lot of the cunts would rather dig up your mother than pay a decent rate
PS Seanie is a manager with the agency

Tell me about it , was up the walls until a few days ago, anyway this time of the year normally it quite S down until jan / feb so agency work is welcome,though without covid restrictions Iâd still be at it for myself for another while
Bleak work wise up your neck of the woods? My son was kinda doing a line with a local up there, she was filling him in
Bleak describes it succinctly, particularly in your line. Most of us try our hands at all those kind of jobs, plumbing, painting, tiling, wiring etc so it becomes trial and error. Fuck-ups are deemed experience ie: you wonât make that mistake again.

Hard for folk to get meaningful employment in an area of practically no big pharmaceutical companies etc ,parts of the n of Ireland are the same , Iâd on paper decent jobs whilst in Derry but in reality they were low paying semi permanent , government sponsored to a large degree ie enterprise ulster, foyle co op , n and west housing association ( now apex)
Even my few years as a full time hurling coach was cross border funded, and when the grants run out its the dole or travel, in reality a UI would need serious mula to convince ppl that a 32 county is sustainable, like most ppl living across the border at the time I had a second part time job, and my ex also worked part time just to survive , cityâs have the edge in more jobs but Iâd give my eye teeth to live in a rural small town type of slowed pace
I do a bit of work with cartoons occasionally.* A lot of the newer ones these days have a more progressive depiction of family. The one Iâm working on at the moment is about a young girl. Her mother is an architect (mentioned regularly) the dad is a non specified job / house husband. This is a regular trend for cartoons. Cc @glasagusban @artfoley @tfkMisogynyCrew
*it involves working with various sound engineers. @balbec

The Russian Revolution was started by women on International Womenâs Day.
Female textile workers spent International Womenâs Day protesting in Moscow city centre and tried to get the men to leave the factories. The next day the men joined them. On the third day the Cosack soldiers were ordered to fire on them but a few days before International Womenâs Day the womenâs groups had already gone to secretly negotiate with the Cosacks and gotten them to agree not to fire on the cityâs women. When the Cosacks refused to fire on the women was when the revolution really got going. The Bolsheviks had nothing to do with the early protests. Neither Lenin, Trotsky or Stalin were even in the country when it kicked off. The Czar had already been removed by the time Lenin arrived back in Russia. The role of the womenâs protests was massively downplayed by the Soviet historians who wanted to emphasize the role of the Bolsheviks.
