Pre-employment psych test said very high empathy vs. very low tolerance. I'm sorry. Get over it. 🤣 And the cat. Mostly the cat, if I'm honest. Held together with baling twine and No.8 wire. Oh, and would love to #LiberateTheLane.
The focus of his single brain cell on making sure he doesn't miss any of his churu. 🇳🇿🐱

🇳🇿😺 Chico Marx rocking out the chicken leg in the airing cupboard. Being in the airing cupboard also means it's officially winter in Auckland. I don't make the rules. Sorry.
PS. None of those towels are for people. Only cats.

🇳🇿😺 Chico Marx reporting in from the trenches of misery and torture. He is visibly wasting away and would like to complain to management.
*Management had just given him dinner, but he was hoping for more treats. This spot is where we do his insulin & BG tests, so maybe a treat will appear.

D'ya know what I love? A mechanic who doesn't try to take advantage of me being a woman and is straight up and practical. Doesn't try to push expensive repairs (that aren't necessary or can wait), explains things logically, and is just a good human. More of this please.

Clearly I'm keeping it somewhat tidy for y'all. Because this does not reflect real life 😂

🇳🇿🐱 Something has gone awry with one of Chico's eyebrow whiskers. Is he moving into his old man cat stage and they're becoming ungovernable!?

Ok. Submission on Treaty Principles Bill done. (If not obvious, very much against it). Kept it pretty simple - coz my brain isn't capable of more - but I figure simple is better than nothing.

OMFG. I'm in an 'All In' Teams meeting & the presenter doesn't understand presentation mode, so we're just looking at the slides & thumbnails. The deck hasn't been reviewed by anyone who can spell or knows basic grammar. Rogue apostrophes everywhere. Speakers not being timed. Audio spotty. KMN.

Advice needed (please)...
If I were looking to do proofreading as a side hustle, is there a preferred industry qualification - either NZ or international? Also is typing up manuscripts, documentation etc a thing? I have a background in technical writing and user documentation. Cat photo for tax.

🇳🇿🐱 Chico Marx would like to make a formal complaint. He was unwillingly treated for fleas this afternoon. He thought he was getting scritches. BUT. IT. WAS. A. PLOY. He is currently punishing me by stopping me from sewing.

This fucking guy. If he's that interested in job growth, why did he make 7500 public service folx redundant? Just when I think I can't hate him more, he comes up with this shit.
