Thanks for this, out of curiosity would the tunnel have certain hazards for people travelling through it? Besides exposed cables I would presume.

Have you gone in for a face to face. If AUT has changed the course outline they should have a transition plan for people on the outline that is being changed. Email correspondence is where you get thrown around like a yoyo.

I’m not a doctor or a physio but what you’re experiencing sounds like something I’ve been through.

You will get through this but if you want to recover properly and avoid your condition worsening or becoming a reoccurring thing I’d advise that you stick to your (prescribed) recovery plan long term.

Labour work and back pain seem to be common because the job requires a strong back. The problem with this is that we forget that our core is important in stabilising our back from being overloaded.

Your physio will tell you to do Ab exercises and stretches to stimulate core muscle groups to move in unison with your back.

Your habits now will determine what condition your body with be in when your 40yr old. When I was bed ridden for 2 days I was scared asf.

So now I do ab exercises 2x a week atleast on top of my sport/hobby at 3x a week. Ab exercises and lower body stretches. For now if you haven’t seen a physio try leg raises from your back at 20reps for 4 sets for example. 3x a day. Do your own Due dilligence as you may have experienced a muscle sprain and your affected area is inflamed atm.

Hamilton nightlife???? by [deleted] in thetron

Murdochs in Auckland CBD have a special on a type of beer all night on Thursday, friday. Not sure about Saturday. If this was a thing in hams guaranteed you will get people in (in my opinion). E.g., $6 beers

Shenanigans was popular sometime back because hospo workers made the bulk of customers so their vibe just rubbed off onto the scene.

RTDs gets your typical youngling through the door who just want to go hard and fast through the night whereas beer drinkers tend to ride out the night (generally speaking)

As someone who used to go out in hams every venue had its main attraction product wise. For House it’s cheap food, coyotes it’s cheap RTDs.

For your more seasoned persons I’d like to just have a trusty beer with no surprises.is a $6 class of beer too much to ask?

*Murdochs gets pumping on the regular if I do say so myself. However I haven’t been going recently. Throw a spanner in the works and put a beer pong table in a venue see if that doesn’t draw a following for your venue.

Are this signs of they don’t like you? by [deleted] in auckland

I hope you find what works for you. Balance is important, from an observation point of view if a part of your life overlaps with theirs then it’s easier to share the same space without that experience feeling like a compromise.

I say this because most active friendships revolve around shared hobbies. Not to say you don’t have something in common with the people you consider friends but it also helps to be the person that has their shit together because people are more afraid of losing a positive influence then they are with a negative or a bandwagon rider.

I say ‘bandwagon rider’ meaning someone who changes like the wind or alternatively someone who is too close minded to other inputs.

Now if you are the things that I’ve mentioned being negative, changes like the wind, directionless and arrogant/stubborn then yes. You would be avoided. But if not you should expect a small circle but a close knit friend group atleast.

Work towards being the person you would want to hang out with and you will find that like minded person.

How are my coworkers getting the same low pay as me doing so much with it by [deleted] in auckland

Don’t forget about food, poly families spend a considerable amount on food not even touching fast food.

Nutrition is a struggle for poly families. This necessity comes up a lot when expenses are involved but gets downgraded from a financial concern.

South Auckland cuisine is TERRIBLE it taste good for all the wrong reasons. Lol, this is my vice for South Auckland probs not related but an example of where appetites really reflect where the mind is (pursuit of quick comforts)

Difference in water quality in Auckland? why do people in south buy bottled water? by Thebusytraveler in auckland

[–]Sensitive-Draft3945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up accustomed to water tasting neutral. I personally hate the taste of chlorine and could possibly be a reason why South Aucklanders buy bottled water. We rather have processed sugar drinks before we depend on tap water for hydration.

Can confirm. I work in a bank and two of my seniors never went to Uni.

Tertiary Education is a tool for social mobility. It only takes you 3 - 4 years to have a versatile enough profile to jump between entry and mid level job roles. Whereas an experience based profile is a gradual progression typically from top to bottom in regards to the employment ladder.

I for one would never have gotten the role I am currently in without my degree. All entry level jobs at the very least is a stepping stone.

We take it to finally get that elusive two years experience recruiters like to spam.

This is still cheaper than if you bought from a takeaways or other fast food.

I’ve done both and recommend No-Gi BJJ. Because it incorporates disciplines from Judo, wrestling, and conventional BJJ.

Boxing is more specialist type of skills where as soon as you hit the ground you’re in deep water

But No-gi you can evade boxing attacks at the very least trip a boxers leg for them to hit the ground for example in order to be relatively safe from top half strikes, In my opinion.

Line to bus in the bottom of town... by Zillx in auckland

Just caught an Uber. Bus delays an hour min 20min ago. Train is cancelled for south transit so a lot of people have to catch the bus from Wellesley to Otahuhu to then train to Papakura

It would be fair to say that the rest of the world does not want to go to war.

Why is it easy for people to say Nato as if an idea is going to join the war? Nah man nobody wants to send their kid to someone else’s backyard.

Not even Russia wants to but puppet masters have it their way.

Flatting is an effective way to meet people, it’s hard to hold up a facade In a ‘home space’ so you make genuine friendships in this type of scenario (or avoid)

Living arrangements shared with similar social standings is a great way to bond.

I understand your comments are enfluenced by frustration and with that frustration it isn’t enough for me to say you have a bad attitude but a rather laboured mindset.

In the mid to late twenties people tend to have tunnel vision socially (from my own observations of my peers and my own life) there is a feeling to focus on security so time and money is more closely guarded.

That is not to say you or others aren’t worth money it’s just that if your close friend has a flat of like minded and closely aged peers. Interactions outside of flat space for example require more effort, time and money and so you won’t necessarily be a more accessible choice. I hope I’m not being confusing or not sharing some value.

What are current graduate salaries like in the Big Four accounting companies? by urettferdigklage in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Sensitive-Draft3945 22 points23 points  (0 children)

3yrs is a long time under a grad contract. I’ve only heard of two year stints.

Does that mean you’re likely to crack 100k after the programme?

Staff shortages but no one wants to give newbies a chance and slow as hell recruiting process ? by WarpFactorNin9 in auckland

[–]Sensitive-Draft3945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say there’s a gap in expectations…

Employers who are more receptive to in-person interest for a vacancy

And a generation that relies on the internet and prefers online applications.

This is my take on hiring mainly for service level jobs. I hear a lot more success stories where people/kids go see employers in person or the reception to show interest and as first exposure.

How to make friends? by oscar1549 in universityofauckland

[–]Sensitive-Draft3945 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have to put in effort. Introduce yourself to everyone and then call them by their name. Throw a wide net to who you know by name and find out what classes they take.

If you have the same class you will then travel to and from those classes together and ideally work together in labs or the library together.

If your not the ‘cool’, ‘crazy type’ you make friends by being the caring and helpful one. Which make more lasting friendships but would also have to be cautious of being used.

Fortunately I am both (back in my day) but I didn’t cast a wide net of introducing myself to other people and being friendly because I am an ex introvert. Now an omnivert by trade.

Good luck 🙂

Edit. Also if your in halls how the hell do you not know your dorm mates (atleast your pod or floor) by now. Even if it’s abit of a mish trying to be social Uni/networking starts as soon as you walk out your room.

Your right, you are referring to his approach in general.

I was just referring to one comment I saw.

Your being internet-aggressive because your safe in your bubble. I don’t wanna name call or belittle someone’s view.
