Don't think they're on here, and you're unlikely to know them, thankfully. We hadn't interacted much recently but hung out in the past. Ugh.

Yeaaaah. Not quite as bad but definitely bad.

On the other hand I've written a non-fiction book! 🎉

This is the longest non-fiction work I've written (more than twice as long as my MA thesis) and while it's not an academic work it does need referencing and I am not having a happy time filling in the blanks.

Policy documents surprisingly good accessible wording as well, I was impressed.

(This was a reimbursement claim, they have a different process for "need medical treatment paid for now" and I assume / hope that's much quicker.)

I don't know, but as a data point I have used Southern Cross for a long time, needed to claim for first time last year, and they were much better than expected, staff were great when I was panicked, they took a bit of time to pay but there were no dramas with doing so.

That was the name of a feminist magazine!
