Any SJD fans out there? Been listening to Sulfjan Stevens and some his music reminds me of SJD 10 years ago. Revisiting Songs from a Dictaphone now.

Crowd sourcing Auckland parking advice: we have our son's high school graduation dinner next weekend at spark arena, same day as the Santa parade is on. Where are we best to get a park? Santa parade people may not have left town. Or do we catch the train hoping we finish before 10pm?

Just want to give a big shout out to the PSA and remind you all that the second best time to join your union is today (the best time was when you started your job, but now is still great). If you don't know if there's a union for you, feel free to reply here and I'm happy to help!

Again, for those in the back. Any ‘monthly losses’ are a political fabrication: they are FUNDING SHORTFALLS, and are largely made up of wage increases *that were legislated for in order to achieve pay equity for nurses, allied health and admin staff*

The man looked up from his beach chair.
"Really?" He said. "I've only just retired."
Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't.
CURIOUS
Vetinari shrugged.
"I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17
