Desks.
Soft lighting.
A proper tree.
Carpets.
But are they happy?

There has been a 40% drop in donations to charity in the two weeks since the scandal of top-ups to executives’ salaries was revealed.
Anne Hannify, CEO of Fundraising Ireland, said it was a “crisis situation” for the sector at this time of year, and the story is having a knock-on effect on other causes.
“We are really frustrated that this one incident can have such a massive impact,” she said.

I had a little chat with him his name is Brendan Coleman from Wexford he has 20 years sales experience but can’t seem to find employment due to his age. He is a very brave man for putting himself put there. I am hoping a lot of people share his story and he gets good exposure. Please share his photo and number [086 6065566]

According to the cloud firm Incapsula, between this year and last, bots went from making up 51 percent of web traffic to 61.5 percent. Most of that, they found, was due to increased activity by “good bots” like search engines, who traverse the web for the betterment of mankind. Spam bots, comparatively, are on the decline.

I no longer know what to feel,
This news knocks me right off my keel,
Surely there’s no way,
That grown-ups could say,
They think Santa and Jesus are real.
