Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    We got underway and did a 3 night passage to head up to the Annapolis boat show. Weather made us tuck in before cape Hatteras though so we have been exploring North Carolina. I guess Blackbeard’s ship wrecked at the inlet here so they are still pulling up artefacts from it and you can see them at the local museum. Pretty cool. Back to sea tomorrow!

    When do we start getting the stable weather? Is it after Daylight Saving starts? I’m tired of the wind and random rain

      I would have said January 😆. Four seasons in one day is kinda par for the course in spring.

    Well I survived the redundancies but some good work friends haven’t. I’m going to be seriously f’d off if the company is cruel enough to let them go this side of Christmas.

      I hope you don’t take it too hard. Often the people who keep their jobs feel much worse than the ones who lost theirs, as a sort of survivor’s guilt.

      I also wouldn’t be surprised if they let the people go sooner rather than later. Hopefully they get a good redundancy package.

        Thanks that’s actually useful to know. Been through a lot of restructures, and obviously there’s a lot of turnover during those times, but people have always left on their own terms.

        This is a new one for me.

    Drinking a whole teapot of green tea before bed last night wasn’t a great idea, I couldn’t get to sleep until around 1am
