Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Seems like my body clock has aligned itself to normal hours now - I’ve actually started sleeping before midnight. Next target is to see if I can bring the sleep time closer to 11PM. Hopefully I can maintain this schedule leading up to the first day at my new job.
Oh, and I need to get a haircut at some stage. My hair was a mess on the first day at my previous job - was planning to go to the salon in the morning so that my hair would be at its best on day one, unfortunately I couldn’t find a single salon in my area open at that time. And just my luck, they ended up taking a photo for my ID card, and my streak of bad ID photos continued.
Oh man, I hate to tell you that daylight savings starts this weekend… You might need to starting aiming for 10PM :(
That’ll mean our car clock will become correct after its winter hiatus.
Ah, bugger. Well, that’s fine I guess, I still have a bit over a week to get adjusted. Thanks for the reminder though!
Oh how I dislike haircuts. I seem to need one every month to stop myself looking untidy. But I only get one every 3 months or so because it’s annoying to do it.
I’m also haircut averse.
I put it off until it starts looking untidy, then continue putting it off until my wife starts hinting that I ought to get a haircut, then continue putting it off until I think maybe I’ll just start having long hair.
Then one day I wake up, and decide maybe I should get a cut. So I suffer the burden of having to actively decide what my hair should look like. And generally I’m pretty happy with the results. And I think, I should do this more often. And then the cycle repeats.
This sounds like me! And it’s not a big time commitment, I just don’t like having to do it.
I also don’t like getting them, but I’m also getting thinner on top and it looks worse if I let it grow out. Bad times.
Haha I feel this
🤛
That’s great that you’re making progress on the sleep cycle.
Terrible ID photos seem to be mandatory. Back when I was working, I once had a new job ID photo taken when I had a bright red sunburnt face … I was so vain I went and asked the photographer to fix it in photoshop.
