Dublin... Is a fucking shithole

My boss gave up trying to keep an eye on me ages ago. I think I eventually broke him with my unreliability and he gave up caring.

I was actually so shit in work for around all of 2021-22 that anything I do now seems like a work of art in comparison. I completely lost the run of myself, I literally did fuck all for over a year.
don’t beat yourself up about it
Happens to us all
As parents,friends , lovers,
We’re only human

But the thing that makes us Corkies unique is our stubbornness and never give up attitude
( prime examples- being a rebel hurling follower or a Cork city fc fan)

As a guy who loved n of the border we in Cork are a bit like sone of our northern brothers- Stoic

There were times in 21/22 when things got really bad for me. My grandmother died, I used live with her and the house went after, and I went into an awful spiral. There were days in 2022 when I didn't get out of bed, there were days when I didn't see daylight, and work completely suffered. I got away with murder because work understood what was going on and eventually my boss got me medical help which saw me taken out of work for a while. The lowest point was when my mum called me asking why one of the senior managers in work had turned up at her house looking for me. I'd gone completely AWOL and yer man travelled down from Dublin looking for me, and the only address in the work system was my parents, even though I haven't lived there in years.

When I eventually snapped to, I contacted that manager and told him I just wasn't at the races. He replied "we all have times when things don't add up". We actually only met today in Dublin, and we're doing an event together on Thursday next week.

I could not have a better employer.
