I think NZ as a whole isn't doing to bad considering the doom and gloom merchants who are predicting the end of civilization as we know it. Yes, tourism is doing it hard but then I don't have much sympathy either when you consider some of the pricing. In many instances it was cheaper to go for a holiday overseas than go to the South Island for a week.
My company is getting the 8 week wage subsidy extension, so another 8 weeks not knowing if I'll be working my rostered shift until the day before or the morning of the night shift or at all and then at the end of the 8 weeks I still don't know if I'll have a job. Company has made at least 7 people redundant so far on the floor in both our Auckland and Christchurch plants. Not sure what has happened in other areas but management are treating us like mushrooms as per normal and complain when the staff get together and talk about the company and management....
Weather is nice for this time of the year and the water shortage gets worse with the long term weather prediction saying we will see less than the average rain fall for the next 6 months
Managed to fix the washing machine so that is one less worry for now.
