the person i work with who was gonna break quarantine ended up doing so and was caught by the cops and is probably gonna get fired

it’s usually very hard to get fired in nz but she purposely stayed as a non-employee this whole time. she was always so casual about losing her job and working somewhere else but this is such a different time.

she might be hosed

welp, doc is pretty sure i've got the covid

course there's only one rapid testing site nearish me but tbh it doesn't really matter if i have an official diagnosis 'cause my doc is pretty sure just based on symptoms

i've been socially isolating this whole time. haven't actually been anywhere that's not on my property since the 2nd. maybe my wife is an asymptomatic carrier who caught it at a grocery store and gave it to me but idk

who ever even really knows

the "customer journey" is something that makes sense, but the terminology is so oily and marketing-speak that i can't help but hate it. what are the customers' emotions & motivations? obstacles and pain points? how do we best nurture their experience to build a positive kinship?

considering a lot of our business comes from satisfying audit requirements its always very funny to apply those words to "show a list of enterprise admins" or "display this registry setting". the most boring poo poo ever. no one is delighted looking at a list of group policy objects.

you need to be a resident, permanent resident, or citizen (or australian, if you can prove to the govt that you are already primarily resident in nz)

and even then you are going into a mandatory 14 day quarantine in a govt-provided hotel

oh also there's hardly any flights left, it's down to like <100 people/day entering the country, from 15-20k in a normal day

when announcing the mandatory quarantine thing a few days ago they had said they wanted to do it sooner, but needed to wait for the incoming numbers to go down so that they'd have enough capacity to quarantine 14 days of people

going by what contact tracing has been showing im pretty glad they did it too

there's this youtube channel i watch sometimes where the dude talks about all sorts of weird military firearms but he's not all 2nd amendment about it. kind of interesting stuff. now i get ads for epoch times and laser gunsights and poo poo.

is it the forgotten weapons one with the guy who looks like a young colonel sanders? that one is very good. i like that he talks almost entirely about the mechanisms. i don't care about gun right stuff or shooting at people or things but i do like machines.
