Were you forced to wear a mask at work?

FACE COVERINGS IN THE WORKPLACE….NEW ZEALAND YOU WERE COMPLETELY MISLEAD.

Did your employer pressure you to wear masks in the workplace?

Did they lead you to believe that it was an offence not to do so?

Here is an email to Work Safe NZ, from Employment Advocate Ashleigh The Advocate.

Question: 2
How many investigations related to non compliance of face covering rules?

Answer:
There were NO cases relating specifically to face coverings as THE COVID 19 ACT DID NOT HAVE AN OFFENCE UNDER THE REGULATIONS FOR FACE COVERINGS WHICH ALLOWED PUNITIVE OR ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS.

Did your employer make this clear to you??

At one point, I had to wear a mask at work, because I might infect one of the vaccinated!. (I still can’t believe how dumb that logic was).

Why I write

It occurred to me the other day that maybe I’ve lost touch with myself regarding why I write stuff for a blog.

I started off writing stuff, because our lives have been turned upside down with all these pointless lockdowns, mandates, etc. I wanted to record things as accurately and credibly as possible, which is why I always provide links or photo’s.

It’s been real hard bringing up my kids in the best way I can, and keep them in a good learning environment, when the local schools are either closed, going thru all sorts of covid restrictions, and are now too dangerous for girls to go the toilet alone.

The social ostracism, followed by gradual reacceptance has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Personally, I don’t trust those people as much as I used to.

We are going alright despite all this, but that’s rather beside the point.

I worry that my blog becomes a negative place to be, but I still need to record as objectively as I can what is happening in our part of the world, even if I struggle to keep emotion out of it sometimes.

Life goes on..

My new Surfskate / Longboard setup

It was my birthday recently, so rather than get the standard boring present (eg Tshirt/shorts/socks that people ‘my age’ typically get), I hinted to my wife that a set of surfskate trucks would be just the thing!

Surfskates were designed to get the same ‘feel’ as a surfboard, so they are a lot more maneuverable. This also means they can be quite unstable.

I have a rather standard longboard, which I’ve got a bit bored with, so thats the board I’ve converted to a surfskate!

Longboards are usually very stable, because they are well, -long.

It now turns a lot easier, but takes a bit to master it, especially at faster speeds. I find you have to move your weight around a lot more -you cant just stand on it like a statue.

I was using 83a grade wheels on it, but these are quite hard and made it quite go quite fast, but not with a lot of grip.

A set of 78a wheels has solved that problem.

Can’t wait to try it out once it stops raining.
