The Warehouse advertising how much they care about NZ environment and how proud they are to be carbon neutral, whilst continuing to be the biggest retailer in NZ of disposable or low quality 'junk' that usually ends up in landfill after a shorter than reasonable timeframe.

floydbloke:

When someone who can see your free/busy status books a meeting over the top of an existing appointment, and then admonishes you for not turning up to their meeting.

Similarly:

Someone CCing me on an email and expecting action.

CC is FYI as far as I am concerned. Need to know, but don't need to do anything.

If you need me to do something, put me in the To line

THIS annoys me.

Click Bait title...half (or possibly a third) of a story and no conclusion, no point, really.

If you don't want to click the link, here's the general overview:

Stuff article

Title: "Investors Ripped Off By Teen Entrepeneur"

Story: Teen starts business. People Invest. Sells business. The end.

Rather aptly the series is called The Detail

People who talk a big game, but when pushed to action fold like a cheap suit. All mouth and no trousers. You get the idea...

The fastest way to lose respect is to not follow through on what you say, and twice in the last two days I've had people pull out just moments after talking about how enthusiastic they were for what we were talking about doing.

Either put up or shut up.

Companies that have taken it upon themselves to use Covid as an excuse to harvest your information, under the guise of "safety".

No, I don't want to provide you with my name and contact details "in case something happens". I have already signed in with the Govt Covid app, there is no requirement for me to do anything further. I don't actually care if your "headquarters" have said it is what is to happen.

I'll go and buy the dog food somewhere else.

Stuff's spell checker works better than yours.

Edit - oops - and either you've editorialised the headline, or Stuff have changed it.

Jazz albums that spoof me by appearing to be the sort I enjoy (tuneful, melodic, mellow, relaxing) but then become those weird discordant cacophonous off key tracks that set your teeth on edge.

Great. Really great.

We loved the Fast Show when it was on. Probably would be allowed these days.

From the IRD tax filing/GST return page:

We're sorry, myIR and Secure Online Services are unavailable while we make system changes. myIR will be available again on Monday 1 March.

That would be the day when you start accruing fines for not filing on time.

(OK, they've graciously extended it to 1 March, so assuming they're up again by then you get to join the pileup of others all trying to file in that one day).

Looks like it's back up and running now, through MyIR, but Xero have still disabled their online filing.

A while back the IRD set time allowances for filing if the due date falls on a weekend / public holiday - to the next first business day (though it doesn't apply to regional holidays like Auckland anniversary)

When you get booked for Zoom/Teams meeting commencing at 1600hrs and you join at 1558hrs only to find the participants already deep into the discussion even though 3 or 4 others yet to join.

Yes I do wait until actual start time has passed and then interrupt and ask for a recap of bits that several of us have missed.

If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.
