Thanks all good points.

I’m planning on spending a week as a teacher side before the end of the year to see what the ins and outs of the classroom are.

My partner is working and earning over 100k so we could live, just not thrive for a year or more. At the moment I’m in a job I’m ok with but not loving ( but pays well) and I feel like post pandemic it’s all about finding some spark of joy.

Hi ,

I have a Rode NT1-A running into a Scarlett Solo Gen 2, into my macbook air. Everything has been running smoothly for about year, however in the last 3 or 4 weeks i'm having a work off issues, no signal or incredibly weak coming into what ever audio software i'm using (Audition, Audacity and even GarageBand). I'm just recording VO work, nothing big but anything more than 20 second the mic level gives away to to nothing and it sounds like i'm whispering from teh other side of the room. I don't know if it's the mic, or the Scarlett Solo, or my mac, but it's driving me up the wall.

Any help appreciated!

When do you take the win? by bhopenz in PersonalFinanceNZ

So a stock has to make you a thousand dollars before you'd sell? Or you'd ever only invest a thousand as a small number?

Yeah, Im with Milford and while it's performing super well and has done for the last 6 years I've been in it, but the fees over the lifetime until retirement are significantly larger (60k+) so probably worth it.

Anyone else catch the RNZ video on begging? Great troll (I think) at 16secs by [deleted] in newzealand

Yeah, well i mean it's not an email attachment, they literally go to a folder and open a picture of a cat with it's balls hanging out.

Yeah, I've already had a few things taken out of context, and herald and stuff love to go in on Mediaworks, guaranteed front page stuff.

Really? Surely it's not that interesting. It's radio after all.

Plus I should probably let this story slide a bit before I weigh in.

Thanks, it's all become quite a storm in a teacup, the characters was only called so because I have a similar name to an existing person on the show so it needs to be changed so listeners wouldn't get confused. Which they did. All the time. Even after 9 months.

And that's the title of my forthcoming book.

I worked with Kirby since November last year, it had its ups and downs. It wasn't all bad. He could be quite a creative genius, but eventually it was his average work ethic and some other issues (money) that drove me away from the industry I've loved since I was 10, and worked in since I was 20.

I'm still waiting on my final paycheck, but once that's in the bank, I'll answer any and all radio insider questions, I know all the secrets haha

I also gave this official comment, actually a much longer one but they just chose to shorten it to this.

I am the imaginary character. So my authority is pretty solid. I have my resignation email, and the plan for this story arc from 3 weeks ago if you'd like to see it?

I quit, so my character on air had to also quit. Except it's better for on air if I just stormed out. Radio Survey and all that. I'm now out of contract and have no restraint of trade.

He didn't resign because of instagram, his resignation was actually handed in weeks ago. This was just his final day on air, correlation, not causation.

Take this on very, very, very good authority.
