The other two New Zealanders (Nahum and Walter) on my team who work for Vibrant Planet live in Wellington, so, I headed up to see them. Nahum I knew from Ruby circles, Walter I don’t think I’d met before. Janet was over visiting from the US, so, we had a very enjoyable few days hanging out, doing some work, having some food, playing games (Janet’s extremely good!). Good times.
Then Maaike and Anna came up and we hung out with Glynn and Jayne & visited Thomas & Adeline. Wellington is in a bit of a state at the moment, as there have been just massive job cuts in Wellington from this government. I think it’s something like 11% net job losses in the last 12 months. Pretty crazy.
And a nice walk with Nick once back in ChCh, haven’t seen him in an age :)
Oh, and Donald Trump got elected for the second time. Well, ok, the election happened back in November, but, he has taken office. Musk is in and running around causing absolute mayhem… honestly, it’s a total shit show. Here in NZ David Seymour is cutting school lunches (more on that in a future post) and they’re just absolutely uncaring heartless mean cruel people. It’s honestly disgusting. Tax breaks for landlords and let the most needy go hungry. Sickening.
