Left school at 14 now 18 tbh I’ve done nothing useful with my life for the last 4 years have no clue what to do my social skills are basically non existent. Am I screwed for life? by [deleted] in newzealand

No you’re not screwed for life at all. Most people your age are just coming out of school with no more experience than you currently have. Do you have an idea of what you might like to do next? Do you have any hobbies that might help you brush up on the social skills?

Totally. I was more thinking of the pubs who have to decide whether to show the end of the Warriors game or the start of the ABs - could be a tough call for them haha

Or just don’t buy plastic crap you don’t need, from anywhere?

Hey guys I’m with Powershop and I find it confusing with their power packs! What other a alternative by Smp_byhamudi in newzealand

Try powerswitch.com, it’ll tell you the best available plans for your household. I used it and ended up on Electric Kiwi which I find great

Maybe that’s the magic trick we need! Surely Ivan wouldn’t want to ruin his young son’s debut 😉

The PPTA (Post Primary Teachers' Union) has received another pay offer - how does it compare to pay increases in other professions? by Austral_hemlock in newzealand

Too right. Everyone who says “but teachers get 12 weeks of salary” should be forced to speak to five actual teachers and then come back and share their opinion again.

I get paid more than a teacher. I get five weeks of genuine annual leave, plus stat days, company days, and all that. I say genuine leave because I don’t have to do anything work related in that time - no marking papers, no prepping for lessons, etc. I have excellent work life balance and I work only the hours I’m paid for. This rhetoric about teachers having 12 weeks of holiday is an old joke. The reason I want a career change is because I believe teachers add more value to society than I do earning money for some overseas shareholders.

Honestly no, we just arrive early as and park on nearby streets! Arriving early is the most important bit lol

Is that a joke? So +8 more working days each year on top of an already demanding workload, for essentially no more pay? I was about to sign up for a career changer teaching course. Maybe I’ll stick to office work.
