Same here. I think there are folk on marine parade beach front letting them off.
I don't think will try & go to bed anytime soon.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 10h

Me too. There should be a time limit. Like no fireworks after midnight.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 11h

I really hope the idiots letting off fireworks on beach front - where there is a total fire ban, are nowhere near where the Dotterals are nesting.

That would be great. I get supported living payment and have to update hours/wages every week. Then add in the one day I get time & half. My benefit goes up & down. I get paid fortnightly from work. I hate being on the benefit.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 14h

Because they can't afford it. We get minimum wage or just above. They haven't had to pay a manager since late March. Cruiseship/Xmas season is going to be so stressful for everyone.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 14h

The place I work has been without a manager/visual merchandiser since March. The lady doing V/M on top of normal keyholder stuff is stressed & wanted another (exsisting) staff member (me) to do a few extra hours, just so she catch up - Xmas stock etc. But was told no by the General Manager

The other infectious disease ripping through schools in Aotearoa. #nzpol

@yeehawtheboys.bsky.social Always on the money

A child afflicted with the pox of hundreds of ranting red-faced David Seymours on their skin

Title card: The other infectious disease ripping through schools.

We have removed requirements for curriculums toreflect local tikanga māori, matauranga māori, and te ao māori.

Teachers need to stop politicizing strikes and go back to being underpaid and overworked!

We've removed te reo from kids books. They're tough enough for me to read as is!

Serving kids fresh food from local providers is woke!

I don't know how teacher only days work, and I refuse to learn!

Kids are being dragged out of math kicking and screaming and forced to learn māori!!!

Teachers are incorporating te reo into math! That's one step tahi, rua, too far.

We need to prosecute parents for truancy!

I'm serving kids food that's eiter moldy or will burn them.

Kids learning the negative and long lasting effects of colonization will leave them too informed as future voters!

That's not all she is doing...Treaty and schools: Government to remove requirement for boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi - NZ Herald share.google/PuillpQnHEzl...

Govt to remove requirement for school boards to give effect to Treaty of Waitangi

Boards will still need to try to achieve equitable outcomes for Māori.

It's time for you now. Crying is good. Rest & look after yourself.

Currently it is sunny & 20 degrees in Napier.
My co-worker has aircon on ⬇️
I have turned it down to 20, then she turned it back up. I am cooking. I can't do this all summer. Am wearing a sleeveless top.

I know right. I did packing cubes, so can stock them nicely in my bag - which is something else I need to think about as well.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 2d

I am going to Christchurch/Dunedin next year - 5 days in March. Have been told having carry on only. I usually overpack. So this will be interesting.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 2d

Sorry to hear that. Hugs for you.

Oops

There is nothing on my payslips about days owed.
Is there anyone who understandsthis better than me?

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 3d

My co-Worker informed me today that folk who are on casual contracts - me, are supposed to get a day in lieu as well as time & for working stat days. I did Google it.
Since our manager left, my regular day of work has been Monday. So stat days would be Easter Monday, Kings birthday & labour day.

I put up my pink Christmas tree yesterday.
The angel at top of tree is decades old. Will have to vlick on picture to enlarge it.

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 3d

I am having breakfast. Have to work today.
Am really tired. I think I walked too much yesterday

catsinpink.bsky.social @catsinpink.bsky.social · 4d

I did NOT do the event. I was supporting folk.
