    Hey guys. Calling from Dunedin. I keep referring NZ as Shelbyville. Highlights so far: Lake Tekepo, Queenstown airport and the young dude who pointed out the copper one was “tin cints”. Very hard not to laugh at the language barrier.

    This derro sounding lady has been in the alley last night and RIGHT NOW on the phone, yelling and ranting and raving 😂 something about “those bloody Muslims”, how “Bill is a cunt”, and “Shelly can go get fucked”.

    Oooo “it’s bloody bullshit” “I’m gonna go fuck myself then!?”

    This is spicy

      I miss the days when people knew that bigotry was something to hide and be ashamed of, they knew it was antisocial.

        There’s more!!! She seems to be ranting about how her story should be in the news or something? That all the agencies will be writing stories about her and what she’s went through. This is littered with heaps of swears.

        I can’t tell if she’s talking to an ex, a friend, or a company tbh

        I don’t think this lady would care about being antisocial now or back then. She dropped the word cunt 5 times will I typed these two sentences.

        I’m just out here having a smoke and a coffee choosing to laugh at this

        Wait… She hates trump! Who the fuck is this lady holy shit 😂😂😂😂 She’s completely lost it on trump and the wall - I can’t breeeeeaaaathe

            She’s on the phone! I don’t know! 😂😂 Someone to write her story? She keeps mentioning her story, I think she’s actually been through trauma and has just lost it to whoever she’s on the phone to.

            She is very clearly having a conversation with someone though, she isn’t having an imaginary convo that’s for sure

    In addition to tomorrow and Monday’s burst of heat, next Friday and Saturday are hitting the low 30s again. RIP my aircon bills.

      Just in time for the crank that opens and closes my window to snap off.

      It’s stuck wide open. I’m gonna have to do something with cardboard I reckon

          I tried to push, but it’s stuck firmly in place.

          I’m not sure it will, but at least I’ll feel like I’m doing something

    The reverb pedal is an absolute gem and so far I feel it was worth the cost.

    Haven’t tried the distortion pedal yet, saved it for today.

    Band audition at 2pm and I went to bed at 3am lol. Time for more sleep.

    Work Xmas party this arvo/evening. Always nice to get fed and watered on the boss’s dime. Got to not forget my KK gift. Last year in the rush to leave the house I forgot it, but the woman I had to buy a gift for lives just around the corner from me so I just dropped it off later. Have just checked through my bathroom cupboards and found I have no makeup at all, not one lipstick, nothing. Lol, I’d forgotten that Miniest used it to paint drawings of faces ages ago and I hadn’t replaced it 🤦🏼‍♀️

      The build next door has been starting earlier than they should, but I’m already up and I’d prefer they just finished. I feel like they’re pressing to get it done for xmas.

        We have an odd situation next door where our complex and another party co-own a space. I don’t know exactly why, but the concrete sits on top of a parking entrance that runs underground and it needed repairs or whatever…

        There was a disagreement over how much each party would pay and I think it dragged so much that our complex gave in and well, had to pay more than they wanted.

        This should have been a three month job—that was what we were told.

        I don’t know who on earth hired this company, but there have been minimal workers onsite. Machinery starts first thing the morning, but by early afternoon it sounds like no-one is working. Conversations have been heard and apparently there was quite a cock-up yesterday because the workers didn’t listen to instruction.

        The whole thing is a joke. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were on-going issues and they’ll have to come back to fix it more than once. The hiring for a mil+ job is confusing to me.

        How on earth a bunch of muppets got the contract is beyond me.

    With regards to wrapping Christmas gifts; I have taken great care in the past, learned various techniques, using a minimal amount of tape, learning the art of bow making etc…

    Various compliments were thrown my way, but, that couldn’t inspire me this year. This years gift wrapping has been a bit haphazard and uninspired with no thought or care given to paper colour choices, ribbon widths or bow size.

    I have one more gift to wrap, I’m gonna pull myself together and make it count.

      I don’t fuck with wrapping paper. I give the first one or two some effort, all the rest get thrown on the wrapping paper then wrapped as quickly and crookedly as possible

      Some gifts even just go in those little gift boxes with the fake ribbon glued to the top

        Wrapping gifts is an art form. Many people might brush the off the idea as a useless endeavor because the result doesn’t last long and is ultimately destroyed.

        I happen to take pride in the craft. This is a gift to myself.

          If I’ve wrapped a gift for anyone, it means I REALLY like them and value them. And then i will do a decent job of it. Everyone else gets a repurposed bag

          I don’t brush it off, I just don’t have the skill or patience to bother with it past 1 or 2
