If you were wondering how hard ACT is chasing NZ1st's vote, they just ran an ad during The Chase.

The headline buries the lede: ❌️ Cutting benefit rates after 2yrs ❌️ Incr stand down to 26wks (up from 13wks) ❌️ Incr minimum residence period to qualify benefits from 2yrs to 5yrs These are awful, horrifying policies that will drive povery and misery #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Lucky we have a shit-heap of spare lab capacity for processing all these unnecessary drugs tests which will, as these things always, always do, cost more than they save.

Min has been definitely getting not-skinnier.

Oh, good to know. Because he does drink a lot. Only filtered water from a floral teacup, but a lot.

There's been a lot of sad, loud, really annoying crying.

A couple of days ago I put Min on 'weight reduction' cat biscuits. This morning when I fed him, he looked sadly at his bowl and then went back over to the pantry and had a really thorough look inside, just in case there were different biscuits in there. Better ones. Ones that don't taste of sadness

I bought a six-pack of donuts when a guy next to me said, "You shouldn't eat donuts." I replied, "My grandparents parents lived to be 100." He asked, "Did they eat donuts?" I shot back, "No, they minded their own fkn business."

They do make it significantly more difficult to work in my garden, at the end of the day when I don't have to save energy for anything else.

Really looking forward to a few days off. I just yelled, "You can't do that to grammar!"

I bloody love our time zone being slightly more in sync with my body clock. But I keep very quiet about it on account of all the haters.

It is freezing cold and having builders turn up at 8 am the Monday after daylight saving was probably not the best idea. OTOH, I am taking actual gardening leave later this week. Like, I took leave (for the first time in my life, at 54) and I will be spending it gardening.

One day, this tool is going to get through a file without telling a long, boring anecdote about himself that is nothing to do with the patient in front of him. That day is not this day.

Waiting times are down! Cool! That's really great! In the last two days, I've had files with 12-month waiting times for two elective surgeries and... an MRI.

Work file this morning: Clinician: "Over the dorsum of his..." *long pause* Voice in background: "Right. I think it's right." Second voice in background: "Well, if you're sure it's right..." Clinician: "... right foot..." Yeah, I would not bank on that.

My work queue is full of files from the clinician I have gone all Bitch Eating Crackers on. I have already used the phrase "Oh my god you self-obsessed prick" and I'm two minutes into the first one. I am going to need some brandy after this.

So today, at our favourite cafe at which we are regulars, one of the staff came up to me and Karl and said, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you a couple? We can't work it out and I drew the short straw."

Why do people with money to burn (in this economy!) overwhelmingly back the same parties? A mystery! And, are they also the ones spooked by any hint of things so self-evidently good a child can see it (diversity, say, or equity, or hey, inclusion)… If so, goodness me, whyever could that be. #nzpol

Briefly this morning, there were no overdue files for the whole hospital. There are now, of course, but still. It is possible.

I have a Canadian friend who was so into what was being referred to over there as the "horse semen divorce" at the time. It has, for some inexplicable reason, absolutely stuck in my head.
