My mom works 17 hours per week(two days). She works at a supermarket.

The manager complained that since she works only part time that she has been taking too many sick leaves.She asked my mom’s age, and also was recommending my mom to not work anymore and stay home. Am I right in feeling this discussion was unnecessary and inappropriate as she is entitled to these sick leaves?

I'm from the US and coming to visit New Zealand in a few weeks. We're super excited about the possibility (however unlikely it may be) of driving through sheep, and I recently bought an eSIM so I can tell everyone back home all about it!

Normally to dial New Zealand from the US, I'd dial 011-64-x-xxx-xxxx, where x is the New Zealand number. I called our hotel and confirmed this works. For my prepaid eSIM, One gave me an 11-digit number beginning with a zero (029020xxxxx). I've read that I'm supposed to drop the leading zero when calling internationally, so I think the correct way to dial this from the US would be 011-64-290-20x-xxxx. Is that correct?

I have elderly relatives who will have this number for emergencies, so it's important that I leave them clear instructions. Unfortunately I can't activate the number before landing in NZ, so I'm hoping to have this sorted out ahead of time.

Thank you!

It’s so weird celebrating Spring chickies during Autumn, and getting spooky during spring. And while we’re at it move Guy Fawkes and Diwali to a darker month? Hell, maybe even spice up June by chucking Christmas over there.

Hi Shane, or The Office of Shane Jones (to whom it may concern)

Just wondering if you have some time free next week for a cuppa? I can take you out to any of your favourite cafes nearby for your latte or cappa - off the books of course, wink wink.

You see, I've been trying to build a new deck on my property and the local council have been giving me a bit of a run around with "resource consent" and "building regulations"

I saw that those savvy businessmen managed to take you out to a fancy dinner to get their work added to the fast track bill, so I reckon that should scale down appropriately to a cup of coffee for my deck to be fast tracked.

I understand you're busy, so happy to get you the cuppa to go, if you prefer.

If it's gonna take a bit more than a cuppa, like if you want a scone or a muffin or something, happy to add that on (although I hope that means you can help fast track my new shed, too! wink wink) or even if you'd prefer the money funneled through "political donations", I'm sure we can sort something out.

Cheers,

Gregory Bean

(PS I know you're man of taste, so I've got a couple of DVDs I can lend you - wink wink - much better than what you'd get at the SkyCity Grand, if you know what I mean.)

We spend ~$270/week for our family of four (2 adult, 1 child, 1 baby). Granted it’s probably a bit more than average due to baby products (nappies, formula etc.) But we just buy the bare essentials otherwise, no treats/extras. And we only shop at paknsave..

Sometimes I’ll do a quick shop of like 10 items and it’ll cost around $80-100.

Times are tough…

As it says in the title I’m currently concerned about the culinary industry here in nz after doing a good few trail runs around b.o.p (roto and turanga) while looking for a job i noticed a lot of places are just using prepackaged foods and desserts, cheap substitutes and basically each place basics being a production line like Macca where it’s more just counting while waiting for food then cooking the food, while charging you a arm and a leg first a ok tasting burger.

I mean the main things I saw at this years bidfood show (nz main food wholeseller) was all just pre-made products.

and from what I heard from a kitchen hand at my current job is thier school is thinking of dropping how to deconstruct chicken and how to trim meats properly aswell as how to make mother sauces and stocks which I would say should be the basics in cooking, Because the industry buys it all pre-made now and it just feels that in the few decades if this continues most places will all have the same tasting burger the same tasting sauces all because it’s the cheapest to order

Yes I understand that ingredients are expensive now especially vegetables as well as taking into account staff costs and other expenses like rent and ect

But as far as I’m aware from talking with people at these places and people at places that make %90 by scratch it’s all comes down to money hungry owners that are never around with them not expecting to put money back into the business (which is a really bad way of thinking while owning one imo) compared to the other ones where the owners are basically always there helping and talking with workers And putting back into the business

Thanks for coming to my rant

TLDR;to many money hungry owners making their kitchens make cheap food while selling it at high prices which is ruining the industry and it might soon affect culinarily courses wich will most probably decrease culinary knowledge in the future
