Grangegorman parking

I know there isnt much parking, but how hard is it to get parking in the car park that's shared with the HSE workers? What time are they usually gone by? And do the permits sell out? I can't seem to buy one, but it seems too generous that they set a limit instead of letting everyone buy one.

What are we supposed to do when there are no orders? (IRE)

My managers understandably don't like when we stand around doing nothing, but I'm still quite new and I never know what to do when there aren't any orders. When I'm doing service it's not a problem because you can just keep going back and forth to the stock room and stocking things, it takes more time and you look busier. But when I'm in kitchen I don't know what to do. I wipe down the counter, stock up any food packaging that needs it, sweep the floor, but all that only takes about 3 minutes. What else can I do without leaving the kitchen for too long?

Alternative cleanser [product request]

I used to use this cleanser by Sculpted by Aimee. When I last ran out I didn't bother buying another and just switched to an old la roche posay purifying cleanser that I never finished a few years ago. The sculpted by Aimee cleanser was great for my skin. It cleared the little bumps on my forehead, and my skin was clear for the most part. I had been using it for maybe 3-4 years. I switched to the la roche posay about 2 months ago, and in the last maybe 2 weeks my skin hasn't been great. The tiny foreheads bumps have come back, and I'm getting actual pimples for the first time in a while. I haven't been using any other new product, so even tho I've been using the la roche posay cleanser for a lot longer than my skin has been breaking out for, it must be the cause. I would just go back to the sculpted by Aimee one, but I absolutely hate the packaging. It comes as this double sided cleanser, that comes apart so it can be refilled. The pump is dirty and impossible to clean. When it gets wet the water drips down into the bottom compartment and grows some sort of mould or algae and smells bad. I've included the ingredients list. Does anyone know of any other cleansers I could try that might be similar to this one?

Am I in the way? 😭😭

I've been working around 5 weeks now. I've mainly been in the kitchen. I've done service a few times, but never drinks. We're quite close to a stadium, so when there's an event on it's very busy. Anytime I've been working one of those days, I've just been sent to do lobby, which I am completely fine with, it's probably the least stressful task when the place is rammed full. Anyways, today it was a little bit busy, nothing crazy. And I went to join the kitchen like usual, and straight away they asked me to go do the wash up. Afterwards, I asked whether I should go to the kitchen or service, and they said service. I was trying my best to go fast and also not be in the way. After it quietened down a little bit, I had to restock one of the fry holders, and I dropped a good few on the ground, and like almost straight after, one of my coworkers asked me to go and do the lobby. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it feels like they just want me away. I'm kinda sad now because yesterday I felt like I did so good. I was in the kitchen, I was fast, I handled a rush, and was in the kitchen alone for a while. I feel like I'm quite fast in the kitchen now, I know I can still improve, but I don't think I'm bad. Does this sound like my coworkers hate me? 😭😭 I'm probably just being dramatic.

Has anyone used any of these?

I have bad rosacea on my cheeks, the bottom of them are like 24/7 red, and they completely turn red when I do literally anything. Walk somewhere, speak to anyone, study, clean, am too hot, too cold. You get the idea. Anyway, has anyone used any of these? I need something that's not makeup that can help reduce the redness. Also, if u have use one, which one?, does it completely cover? I have quite oily skin, so is it ok for oily skin? And does it last all day? Also, the parts of my face that aren't red, are quite pale, so does it make u look orange in anyway? Thank u sm

Shifts outside my availability

I've only been working about a month. My contract is maximum 20 hours a week. Last week a manager asked if I'd be able to do up to 30, and I said until I go back to college I can. I told the manager the date I go back. Also, at my orientation when I was signing my contract, we filled in one section for availability during summer, midterms etc, and another for during the school year. I said I could only work until 10pm during college. Anyways, last night I got shifts for the week of the 7th of September, and I am scheduled on the Sunday night until 11:30pm, and I start college the next day. I decided it's only for one night, I won't cause an issue. I went onto LIFELENZ and updated my availability and set it to similar to the section I filled out in my contract, just to make sure it's on the app as well. Anyway, about an hour later, I got more notifications. I got assigned more shifts. All until 11:30pm, almost every weekday, for the first two weeks of college. They haven't yet approved my updated availability, and I know that it probably has to be approved by the business manager, and because it hasn't been approved yet, the person who makes the shifts couldn't see it yet. But then again, I put it in my contract at the orientation. Has this happened to anyone else???? I was thinking it must be a mistake with the app or something but I don't think so.

[College level statistics: Rank sum test]

I know this is such a basic concept but I'm quite confused.

I keep seeing contradicting methods. I know I should but I've been using ChatGPT to generate me some practice questions as I only have a limited amount from my lecturer. But the method that ChatGPT uses, as well as YouTube videos and other sources online, seems different to what my lecturer does. It's also possible that I'm mixing things up, but I can't seem to figure it out. It's for the rank sum test, when ranking the observations in the two groups, do you rank the lowest value as 1, or the highest as 1? I'm pretty sure my lecturer does the highest, but anything else I find is the lowest. Also, for R1, is R1 automatically the first group, or the group with the lowest total of ranks? Again I think my lecturer does the lowest total of ranks, but I've seen others do group 1 automatically.

If you can't tell my knowledge is statistics is very limited.

I'd reallly appreciate if anyone can help me.

Betis signing Parrott?

I'm not a Betis fan, I do like the club though, but as an Irishman, I'm very excited at the idea of Troy parrott signing for Betis. I've only seen these rumours on Irish sport pages so I've come here to ask if Betis fans are also hearing these rumours? Also, what would your opinion be on this signing.

What did you do after failing 1st year of college?

I'm in a bad way with college at the moment. I have 2 repeat exams to do, and I just cannot get the content into my brain, it's like another language. It's statistics. Can't seem to understand even the most basic of concepts. Obviously I'm trying my best, but I know there's a chance I fail again.

Anyway, the point of this post, what do people do after failing 1st year? Especially people who aren't overly happy in the course anyway?

The course I'm in was 7th on my cao. I only accepted because I couldn't imagine myself not going to college. Throughout the year I debated dropping out and reapplying to the cao, trying to switch course at the end, and other things, but then I found a masters in the original subject that I had on my cao, and had my heart set on, which I could get into with a degree from my current course, so i decided to stay at it. Now, considering the possibility of failing again, and having to repeat this year, I couldn't imagine anything worse. Like I said, I couldn't imagine myself not going to college. Do people take the year out and apply through the cao again with lc results? What do people actually do in this type of situation?

Failing repeats

Is there a 3rd chance to repeat an exam? Or if you fail your repeat you repeat the year or something?

I thought I remember being told u can do an exam up to 4 times, but thinking about it that seems very generous and unrealistic.

What happens if u fail a repeat?

Advice from LC 2025

I debated whether I should post this or not, but if it helps even one person then I'm glad.

This time last year I was hoping for one of my top two courses, both over 550 points. I didn't want anything but either of them. I only had other courses because putting only two would have been completely idiotic. I opened my results and got 507. I sat in my kitchen and cried for hours. I didn't even know if I'd be offered anything else from my cao, and the possibility of one of my top two was gone. I was miserable. It truly felt like the end of the world. I ended up getting offered my 7th choice. I wasn't overly happy, but I was relieved that I had actually been offered something. The first few months of the course were not great. I really didn't see the point in doing a course for a degree I didn't even want. My grades were shit. I didn't give a flying fuck. I wanted to drop out. Around February I discovered that if I get this degree, I can actually move on and maybe someday do a masters in a course extremely similar to what I originally wanted. Since then I've improved quite a bit. My grades are still no where near as good as they could be. I do have to repeat two exams, and I did just scrape a pass in other modules, but I'm (hopefully) going into second year with a lot more motivation and desire to do well. I have also discovered that som topics that I could never have imagined myself enjoying, are actually very interesting.

There is always another way. You can get what you want. Your path might be longer than others, but who actually cares.

I guess the point of this post is to show that despite the tremendous disappointment I felt this time last year, the world didn't end and I'm still here. You will find your footing, even if it takes some time.

My intention really is not to scare anyone and I apologise if I have. I just think I would have liked to hear something like this a year ago.

Best of luck to absolutely everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PCOS?

Im beginning to think I have PCOS. A few months ago I learned what it was, and thought there was a possibility I could have it. I never did anything about it. It was just a thought in the back of my mind. Last month, when I logged my period on Flo, it came up with this warning kind of notification. It basically said that my cycle lengths are concerning, and it directly mentioned the loss of PCOS. My period is very irregular, but it always has been. I got it at 11, and I'm 19 now. Some of my cycles from the past year are 31 days, 26 days, 42 days, 18 days. Very irregular.

I also learned that PCOS can cause a more than normal amount of body hair. My arms have always been a bit on the hairier side, but recently I've noticed it even more. I have a mustache, that is actually black hairs, as well as a unibrow. Also the peach fuzz on my face. My leg hair grows extremely fast. I have always thought it's just my genetics. I have really long nice dark brown hair.

When I was 17 I went through a phase of trying to lose weight. I went from around 75kg to 60kg, but I was eating a let less calories than I should have been. After around 4 months, I couldn't lose anymore. I had seen something that said if you're trying to lose weight, but are eating too little, you'll reach a point where you won't lose any more weight, so I thought it was because of that. But maybe it was something more. I gave up and gained all the weight back quite quickly. I'm now around 85kg again. I have tried a few times to lose weight again, but I just find it impossible. But to be fair, I can't say I've tried everything.

There are a few other things that align with PCOS symptoms, but could just be nothing. I used to get quite bad acne around my chin all the time, but especially near my period. I started using a benzoyl peroxide, which has massively helped. I do still get a spot or two just before my period.

Again, I'm not wanting for someone to tell me yes you have it, or no you don't. I'm just looking to see if anyone else has experienced the same things, and if I should start to actually take this seriously instead of just putting it in the back of my mind. Thank you.

Addicting book suggestions

Like the title says, I need an addicting book. I am really trying to get back into reading. As a kid I read a lot, you know just the common kids books, not really any specific genre other than fiction. I stopped reading when I was around 9/10. Last year I tried to get back into it, I read the housemaid and another thriller, and loved both of them, but didn't end up thinking about reading again. I tried in January, but I read 2 books and again kind of forgot. I tried to read a book while I was on holiday this year, and I was liking it, but I just didn't really get through it. There was too many distractions around me. Now I'm looking to try again. I don't think I'll continue with that book as I can't really remeber too much, so I'm looking for some recommendations.

I mainly keep to thrillers, I enjoy them. But maybe I need a different genre. I really liked the housemaid and don't let her stay. The dead of winter was alright and the girl on the train was okay. Pretty girls is the one I don't think I'll finish. I feel like I really need something fast paced, and addictive.

As for other genres, I wouldn't be open to a lot. Definitely nothing sci fi, historical, etc. I think maybe I'd consider romance, but I feel like I'd be really picky if it came to a romantic book. I haven't watched a lot of romance movies, but I do love quite a few relationships in some shows.

I really don't know what else to say. I know it's probably impossible but if anyone has any recommendations, I'd be very appreciative. Thank you.

How can I get back to my best?

I used to be so academic. I'd have a test to study for, I'd spend an hour and be done, get 100%. Obviously that was school, so it was easier. I'm in university now, and I'm really struggling. Towards the end of my time in school, I was extremely unmotivated and exhausted, which led me to not get the results I had hoped for, and in turn did not get one of my top universities. I came to terms with that, and decided to focus on the degree I landed in. I found that as soon as I sat down to study for my first university exam, I couldn't. I couldn't focus, kept going on my phone, couldn't retain any information, would spend hours and get nothing. And I was like that for all of my first year. I barely scraped by most of my modules. I did fail 2, for which I have to repeat exams in a few weeks. I've now spent 2 days saying "I'll start today", and I am still yet to start. I think about studying, and it seems simple. It's just as soon as I sit down to do it, I can't. The phone is definitely an issue, but even if I leave it in another room I'll end up staring at the wall or out the window instead of actually studying. Any advice, tips or comments are welcome and appreciated.

What this??

Someone referred me to this sub. This keeps on happening to my finger. I'm not too sure how to explain it. At first it's almost like the top layer of skin will go dead, and that I can't really feel the texture or material of things (but I can still feel, hope that makes sense), then a few days later it will start to peel, and then it will keep going until it looks like the pictures. It's only ever on this finger. It comes and goes. This is probably the 4th time this year.

I have considered a nail allergy to BIAB, but I really don't think that's it as like I said it comes and goes, and is only ever on this particular finger. Also, it doesn't happen straight after a new set of nails. I haven't noticed any pattern with the timing or anything.

So what the f is this????????? How do I fix it?

Iced latte

How are we making our iced lattes? Before I just used instant coffee and a manual frother for my milk. I've seen videos of people and no one really seems to be frothing their milk with the machine? Are you not supposed to for an iced latte? Someone please explain. I'm new to making coffee and not fully sure what to do. Thanks.

AirPods 4 with NC or AirPods Pro 3?

I currently have AirPods 3, had them maybe 2/3 years but they've gone terrible. The sound is crap and it's doing that thing where the people around me can hear the sound better than I can. I'm going to buy new ones. I'm not someone who uses them a lot. I use them to watch a show when I blowdry my hair, when I'm using my phone in public and when I'm on holiday. So I don't really care for all the details. However I did want the pros because they look more comfortable, and sometimes my ears can be sore after having them in for a long while, but I'm not sure that's worth nearly the extra €100. I can get the 4s for €130, 4s with nc for €180, or the pros for €250. What do u recommend?

Training (IRL)

I started working last week, I just had my fifth shift and despite the email I received last week with my training schedule, I have only been trained in the kitchen so far. My training schedule said kitchen (main menu assembly) for last week, and then drinks and order taking for this week. All I've done is assemble shit and cook chicken. Am I supposed to say something?? I really do not enjoy the kitchen, they keep leaving me by myself and I cannot keep up with the orders. Do I do nothing and hope they teach me soon? Did this happen to anyone else?
