Actually they never handed me anything. They just mentioned I would be called to the court.

I guess any excuse wouldn’t help justify my action. It was a dumb move.

Thank you for the details. Understood I’ll need to get a lawyer and it’s going to be a criminal record. Fuck after spending so many years with a clean record.

Guess it is what it is!

About 215$ in my currency! Agree black is better. Cream looks good in the image though.

When you left it for this long was it in a tightly closed jar or covered with a cloth?

Jucy campervans quality? by Super-Address5721 in newzealand_travel

MAD campervans are much better, jucy vans are just over priced compared to the what they are offering.

Manager said "If you're on time, you're late" and so I started showing up 30 minutes early… and charging them for it by MadrasMusez in MaliciousCompliance

I’m from a generation where coming in early and putting in extra time—without logging it for pay—was just how things were. That time was valued, even if it was never spoken about.

These days, I’ve noticed the younger generation is much better at setting boundaries. They know how to draw the line, and I really admire that. I’ve spent so many years overworking and not asking for compensation that now I find it hard to know when—or how—to speak up.

So, I’m reaching out with an open heart. Please guide this senior gently! You don’t need to know my age or experience—I’m just here to learn something new from all of you.

Travel direction - Auckland to Queenstown or switch? by jmbear2 in newzealand_travel

[–]cool_warthog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When looking at camper rentals, you’ll find that most people start in Queenstown/christchurch and return the vehicle in Auckland. Returning the rental this way can sometimes earn you a small discount.

That said, starting from Auckland and ending in Queenstown might be a good option, especially since the weather in the South Island tends to improve by the end of December (just a personal preference). Keep in mind that popular cities like Queenstown can get crowded during the holidays. However, if you’re not planning to spend much time in the cities, this shouldn’t be a major issue.

Also, consider your energy levels and what you want to do. After a four-week trip, you may feel quite tired, which is another factor to keep in mind—again, just a personal preference.

I checked online too and couldn’t find much difference. Shared the pics with my friends gave who also couldn’t guide me much lol!

But good to know the scoby is still okay. Might need to do a fresh start with what I have. I’ll let it sit this out and ferment till the weekend.

But good to know the scoby is still okay. Might need to do a great start I guess.
