O'Sheas 'beer garden' in use again
Recycling bins finally in use
Environmentalists rejoice, the company has at last placed
bins around the office where you can deposit your waste paper for it to
be recycled. The bins are a welcome addition to the office, as the amount
of paper we go through is savage. Now the paper will be sent for shredding
and recycling. |

Too responsible for our own good By a designer who would like to remain anonymous.
I have, every day for the last four years. This is where
a major panic alarm goes off in the 'responsibility' gene, which in turns
gets together with the 'fear' gene and starts to tell your 'rational'
gene to ignore this sound advice and go to work. These genes only develop
at 19 years of age and get bigger every day since, preventing all of us
from doing every thing we'd like. Drink gives a slight reprieve, but they
come back with a vengeance the next day, calling in their gene friends
'paranoia,' 'anxiety' and 'depression.' And they all have a brain party
for about two days. Every day we think were going to be stronger and beat
them, but they just outsmart us without fail.
Evolution is to blame: chimpanzees definitely don't
have them, and if National Geographic is anything to go by, chimps only
possess a 'have fun gene.' The flip side to this is the large possibility
of being beaten to death with a stick by chimps who where your mates minutes
before. But if you weigh the two options up I would go for the latter,
where a days work is cracking nuts with a rock (a less mundane chore then
my current job). Your days are spent swinging in naive bliss from tree
to tree, riding all and sundry and showing your teeth to anyone interested,
but chimps will adapt and it wont be long before they join us trudging
inanely to work weeping openly at the horror of daily life.
Now that wrecks me buzz. |

O'Sheas
- The 'beer garden' was the preferred venue early Friday evening for sunglasses
and cider. O'Sheas extensive redevelopment of the beer garden replicates
a 1990's Irish pub car park, complete with genuine 90's cars and beer
kegs to sit on. And in keeping with the theme, there is no outdoor heating,
so it's retire inside or go into town earlier rather than later.
Clodagh,
one of the KW writers is to leave us next week. Clodagh was one of the
first explorers to venture out to Clonskeagh. Clodagh leaves us to do
a bit of travelling. Next week I interview Clodagh about her leaving and
her final reflections on the company, Dublin and the people she's leaving
behind.
An
excellent Waltzer Experience this week 
How
many of us have been walking to work and stopped mid route and thought
"I would like to get a bus to Glendalough and have a picnic while enjoying
nature, peace and tranquility, as opposed to grief hassle and mundane
nonsense."
