Pet Peeves

[Mooncat]

An intern in our place apparently openly had chat GPT open on their phone and used it to read back answers to what they had been asked and didn't even try to hide it in their interview.

What's worse is they were apparently the best candidate on the day. If this is how academia is going then we are completely fucked as a species and Skynet can't get here quick enough.

I saw a quote online somewhere of someone saying you'd better look after yourself now because your future doctor is currently ChatGPT-ing their way through their education right now

Probably mentioned it before but wankers breaking glass bottles on footpaths and then the council not cleaning it up. Just came across another freshly broken bottle on one of my usual routes that I walk the dogs on and no doubt it will still be there at Christmas time.

Starting to also see an alarming increase in fly tipping. The fly tipping situation all across England is getting really bad and no doubt Ireland will slowly follow.

Smoke alarm went off at 2am and I hopped out of the bed like a light, starkers legging it around the gaf but looks like it went off for no reason so here I am still wide awake at 3:30am and up for work in 2 hours

The bog. Every year I hate it more.

Hitting a hidden dog shite with the strimmer while edging the lawn with a resulting shit splatter all over my face and neck 

Literally a pet peeve...

I hope you didn't get any in your mouth 🤢

But what can you do, we have to shit somewhere

[Carnage]

This is true. And the sentiment probably still stands!

And speaking of which - as anyone who's footed turf will tell you, getting down to the toilet the morning after the first day is... interesting.

I miss it. Ceannabans blowing in the breeze, blue skies.  I didn't like turning turf, footing was fine.  Bagging or loading in to a trailer and then making a clamp was hard work, not much fun.

It's grand beong out in it, just this year the turf is shite. It was cut the day the last heatwave ended, weeks of rain since. Pulling it out of the ground and separating it is nothing but fucking hardship. Add the heat and it being the worst year I've seen it for flies/horseflies (4 bites yesterday alone) and it's just not enjoyable at the moment.

Should get the footing finished this evening though, then I can forget about it for a while.

The bog is hard work as we get older, plus when the weather isn't playing ball its a fkn torture, but when the sun is shining, and you have your flask of tea and sandwiches with you, portable radio going, there's no midges and the birds are singing, there's no better place to be!

Peace to listen to the birds was the one thing that was enjoyable the last couple of days. Plenty around this year too.
