I've written the draft of the census results. One thing that is clear from the census results is that I need a proof reader. Any volunteers to proof read the draft?

We had good weather for once, so I went for a reasonably long (43km or so) bike ride and then climbed [a very small mountain] (https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/auckland/places/mount-william-area/tracks/mount-william-walkway/) that we've been meaning to check out for a while.

Nice! I also went for a bike ride, with one of my kids (7yo). About 10km, so they did really well!

Yes, the weather was awesome!

Hang on, the Bombay hills aren't a euphemism, that's a real suburb? Holy shit...

Yeah New Zealand has a few references to British India. The Coromandel Peninsula is named after the Coromandel Coast in East India.

Huh, choice!

I can if it's not until next week.

Thanks for the offer but you're too slow. Results post is up: https://lemmy.nz/post/12001861

You can still proof read it, though 😆

Ah I didn't see it. Thanks for the link, interesting.

On a casual read through: "satellite" is misspelt, "fibre" is randomly capitalized in the section on fibre quality, typo "team" for "term" in the ethnicity section, and in the employment status section "less" should be "fewer". 😊

Thanks! I have updated them all.

So much work at work. Good thing they're paying me for it.

3 day weekends are fucking amazing: I got top spend all Friday in bed with a tension headache and still had a weekend after it all!

Sadly, I work in a hospital (not clinically), and the whole sector has been 'set alight' recently, so there's no chance of negotiating a 4 day week

Lots of exercise and feeling hung over as a result which has been great. Days getting lighter, too - long way to go though!

If you play your sick leave and annual leave just right, you can probably get a 4 day week for most of the year. Though someone might notice the pattern.

I was gonna suggest four 10 hour days, but if I know anything about hospitals you probably already work eight 36 hour shifts a week. Maybe you escape that.

You know I never thought of that. My team leader is so absent they probably wouldn't even notice, too
