Another Thursday that we can’t cover for staff sickness, would anyone be able to work for us tomorrow at Miramar North School teaching from 9.30-12.30? It’s school kids from learning to float level through to full length breathing classes. Or would know of someone that may want some work?

For those that saw my message last night, thanks for the advice, it went really well this AM. I had been suffering from a bit of imposter syndrome lately & it was great to be involved in robust high level discussions needing to use my brain. In the end it was good to go, comfort zone and all that.

I got myself invited to something tomorrow morning and I’m absolutely anxiety ridden about doing it. I have homework/heads up and I’m wondering if they asked the wrong person. It’s about AI & I had answered the survey saying how much I hated it. What the hell am I going to say tomorrow?

We’ve had a dreadful run the past 18 months with staff, I have 20 this term to do the work 14 did in term 4. We have someone sick tomorrrow and can’t cover them (Its a regular occurrence but if I hire more staff at the moment there are not permanent hours for them). Anyone up for some work?

Hey team, does anyone have a recommendation for a good HR person for the odd time that you need them? I had someone that was a go to but they are no longer available for consults. Any suggestions?

I have wrist surgery on my dominant hand on Tuesday, recovery is a good 4 months judging by the recovery of my left I had last year. The thought of it is overwhelming with work being relentless. Talk me out of cancelling it (as she broke a glass today because my hand didn't hand).

I have been feeling a bit flat about business lately because *waves arms around" but today someone asked for recommendations on Facebook for Swim schools & the comments section was absolutely cup filling as so many people organically said amazing things about us. A little bit chuffed to be honest.

So the COC has completely defunded health & Brown is sending a stern letter to Health NZ to meet waiting list targets because it's unacceptable. Could the media please ask him if they are going to fund health properly and let hospitals hire? Nope just going to let him blame hospitals instead. OMG

Hey, hey it's Monday, the day that we celebrate what has been a win for us no matter how big or small. For me we have made it through the first week, have had more bookings which has been a bit of a relief and the weather has improved. What's yours?

Watched the segment where Luxon is hitting back at Winston over the India FTA...the way he is describing the "deal" sounds so Trump like. I almost expected him to say "its the most beautiful of deals".

How the f**k is business confidence at its highest in 12 years? In 17 years of business it has never been worse for me. Antidotally this is what I am hearing from so many other owners that are shutting down etc. Wtf?

Hey hey it’s Monday that awesome day where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I finally made some decisions about staffing for next term after having a bit of decision paralysis. What’s yours?

Of all the things Luxon could post about while the world is on fire, his summer spotify playlist is it. WTF?

There are some days (more in the last year than the last 17 years in business) that I think I should look for a job rather than own a business. I have come to the harsh realisation that I'm not really qualified to do anything eek & as everyone knows the job market is slim pickings. Life in NZ aye?

I have been following this person who had a pack of bully breed dogs. On Xmas Eve an incident occurred which resulted in the death of 2 of them & the 3rd had killed 1 of them so was behaviourally euthanised. Tragic story but the comments section & other influencers jumping in on this are insane. 😭

Hey, hey it’s the first medal Monday of the year. Happy New year. We are celebrating all the small to big wins that people want to share. Mine is that I listed a bunch of stuff on trademe & actually sold a number of things. Also that Wgtn has a lovely day today. Whats yours?

Reskeet with the most recent pic of your pet

A selection of 2025! Goodbye to a punishing but overall good year that was somewhat a roller coaster. Thanks to all that make it work and on to the next one right?

The power cut on Christmas Eve is the gift that has kept on giving. Ash went to charge her phone in the car, I told her to turn the car on. She did but not running and it completely drained the battery. Now the electrics have glitched completely & car not able to be driven. FML

Christmas Pizza, one of the best and might be our new tradition. Hope everyone had a lovely one and got to do the things that they liked x
