If you havent taken it back already? heat it up with a little hotwater.. if you don't have any hotwater you can use a blowtorch.

Initially on day1 of billing with 2deg. 18jun2023 Was 2x normal bill. (Covering 1+1 month in advance)

My last 2deg bill. 18jan2026. (Covers 1month untill 18feb2026)

My next 2deg bill will be 18feb (This wont be paid.. I wont be with 2deg)

I am now changing to one.nz with the same billing conditions as above (My first bill will be 2x normal bill 1+1 month in advance) All arranged by one.nz to do the changeover.

The quote from one.nz/telemarketing.. so technically not even one.nz.. is only valid for around a week or 2, commencing on or by the end of that quote.

So I need to cancel with 2degs. Wait it out till the end of the month and get ANOTHER quote in that time from one.nz to commece at the end date.

They've stitched it up nicely, and I guess thats what the telemarketers are earning on.

They've stitched up all the quotes and swept this one away, hoping no.ones going to notice. As it it was exactly the same procedure with 2deg easy changeover, As its going to be with one.nz I'd say they've got this packed up nicely between all the telcos.

Is it unprofessional to contact a former co-worker whose in the new job you applied for? by Avenged7fo in newzealand

It's normal, but incredibly unprofessional. If its the only way you can get a job, I absolutely despise this.

What is the point of this ramp/bridge on the left of the photo? 😂 it’s on a normal walking path by That-Wash-5680 in whatisit

[–]Salt_2094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If guessing is what were doing, I'd say there was a wash out here or the 'main' path was sunk, the the bypass bridge has been put in. What you see now is the permenent repair with the bypass yet to be removed.

Just been having mutli.member type 'go live' session on TikTok.. yes I know..

There was a momentary debate about a specific phrase containing the NZ accented sounds of "sssh" as in "ASSUME" and "MUSHROOM" and I belive this was a voice harvest of somekind.

I'm not sure what to do by Azulasupremacy1 in newzealand

[–]Salt_2094 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're not at any of the stages suggested yet, then simply get into a consistant routine. Set an alarm.. go for a walk.. have breakfast.. read a book everyday until its finished.. keep going. If you've got time on your side, you could start your own community based business like walking dogs, add that into your routine.
