An hour and a half on hold to @FlyAirNZ , after four or five calls. No answer to email. Chatbot can't answer, human texter doesn't answer. No change to service since I had to do the same thing in July. Is it just me?

"Online Bookings Unavailable and the system is a shambles" Except I booked online last Thursday and had my Shambles Free Booster yesterday! Media, it's no longer misinformation. It's Lies.
Is it wrong to feel angry at charities you've donated to, when they cold call you? A telemarketer from a charity I formerly respected recited a whole script in my lunch break

A rare tweet from me but #SuperSaturday is a huge deal. Get vaccinated tomorrow or, if you already have been, encourage whanau or friends to. Shot Aotearoa.

On a walk, realised I forgot a mask, so went to nearest office to see if they had spares. Nearest office the Beehive, the NZ Parliament. Wandered in and they did. Such a dreadful #nzhellhole: free face masks and a Parliament you can go to without a full weapons search.
Watching @SHO_Billions ... Paul Giamatti in some smoky dive eating a steak the size of his head. Why do Americans drink spirits, some sort of rye, with steak? Why not red wine like normal people?
