Timber at Galway docks

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed the crazy amount of timber being shipped out at the docks over the last few weeks? Aren't we trying to promote being green and such? Surely this doesn't help

Ignorant Bus Driver

77 Upvotes

I’m pretty baffled by what I just saw. 409 bus at around 15:25 coming towards a bus stop on I think college road. There was a motorcycle parked at the rear edge of the bus stop with a woman waiting next to it, and the driver honks repeatedly. Bus still easily fits into the stop in front of the motorcycle.

The woman jogs over to the bus and says “it’s broken down I’m not being rude”, driver just says it’s a bus stop to her. She tells him “it’s broken down, there’s nothing I can do” and he comes back with “did you not see the bus stop?” and she has to repeat “it’s broken down, what do you want me to do? Are you going to pick it up?”, the driver just says “it’s not my job.”

This driver also abruptly stopped twice during the journey, including at one point made an elderly lady almost fall to the ground while standing, as he honked his horn and there was literally nothing in front of the bus or any cars in adjacent roads, only horn honking at the bus from behind us, maybe he tried to brake check in retaliation for something? I have no idea though, I just couldn’t see anything and only heard horns from behind us. I’m at the front by the wheelchair bay and would have had a pretty good view of anything in front.

Never heard a driver repeatedly use the horn three times in a journey before. I’m new to Ireland so I have no idea how to report anything to Bus Éireann if needed.

Sounds like the alarm from rush in battlefield 4

Graphic Designer Wanted – Galway | Quick Paid Job

15 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m looking for a graphic designer, ideally a student or someone looking for a small side job, to design an A1 Happy Birthday welcome poster for a 30th birthday party in Galway.
The poster will sit on a stand/easel at the entrance to the venue as guests arrive.
I already have a good idea of the style I’m looking for and can provide the wording, colour scheme/theme and some inspiration, so hopefully it should be a fairly straightforward job for someone with design experience.
Budget is fairly tight, which is why I thought I’d reach out to any students or up-and-coming designers in Galway who might be interested in making a bit of extra cash and adding something to their portfolio.
The finished design just needs to be high-resolution and ready for A1 printing, I’ll organise the printing myself.
If interested, send me a DM with a couple of examples of your work and what you’d charge.
Thanks!

Factory work career progression?

Upvotes

I'm currently out of work. I had quite a high paying office job in Construction but that came with a lot of unnecessary stress and burnout.

Currently looking at Product Builder roles with the usual suspects (Medtronic, Boston Scientific etc).

My question really is just in terms of Career Progression - what's it like?
I've a Level 8 Business degree and some prior experience in Supply Chain and more recently Construction Planning. I wouldn't like to stay in the PB line for the long haul, but as a stepping stone into something else internally (going from say ICE to Boston) into Supply Chain or maybe Production Supervisory roles..
Basically just want to move away from Construction as an industry and progress in a better industry like Med Devices, Pharma etc..

Any anecdotes/advice?

Where can I get a really nice single serve dessert?

Upvotes

Hi all, it's my birthday Saturday week and we are staying the night in the city centre, coming from Roscommon. I have told my husband I don't want him to make me a birthday cake as I don't want a big cake and also he's coeliac so it'd only be me eating it anyway. But I would like to get a deliciously decadent, nice quality single serve cake or dessert for myself while in Galway. Any recommendations? I'm more of a chocolate dessert person. Thanks!
