Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 16/10/2023

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

General pessimism this morning. Would anyone be interested in a couple of weekly threads showcasing non-misery-inducing things? I'm thinking maybe a thread to show off things we've made ourselves (building projects, cakes etc) or maybe a photo challenge?

I love that idea. Also, I should really hang out here more instead of lurking All

Dave@lemmy.nz · 4 pts · 2y

That sounds exciting! I'd be keen.

eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz · 4 pts · 2y

I'd be keen, I'd better start making things 😀

Today I will be telling my boss Im quting come Feb. It's not a great time, but in my industry it never is, and I feel like giving more notice is better than waiting for a "good time".

I don't really owe them anything and my leaving isn't gonna effect the behemoth of a company, but my boss has been very supportive and so I feel like I owe her atleast that much. The nerves are real though

Good luck! Plenty of notice is best, so they can arrange a replacement and have you train them up before you go.

It's natural to feel some anxiety even though you're doing the right thing. Hope it goes well!

Daily update:

My throat still hurts, maybe a little less than this time yesterday? I haven't tried eating yet though.

I am still generally not feeling great, but maybe a little better than yesterday.

Glad to hear you've maybe turned a corner. There's something particularly unfair about being at your worst over a weekend.

Beautiful morning today. Massive overnight improvement in mood.

I've been doing a lot of research on sailboat and yachting regulations. It turns out that you [are] allowed to leave NZ territorial waters and sail wherever you want, as long as you don't enter the waters of another country (unless you have Cat 1 safety certificate & clearance).

I can go ahead and order my timber from Mitre 10 now. Hurry up and build that catamaran before they make it illegal. I've lived in far too many rat-infested caravans and boarding houses to believe that these w_____s care about my health and safety.

Exciting! I hope we will get to see some progress pics 🙂

liv@lemmy.nz · 2 pts · 2y

That's such a cool idea!

Dave@lemmy.nz · 4 pts · 2y

liv@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 2y

Fingers crossed for you!!
