Judging by the number of "breaks" I've been taking all afternoon, I seem to be a bit irked and anxious about my writing -->revising -->formatting -->publishing workflow.

Seems unnecessarily clunky and cumbersome(this also includes the sudden, inexplicable loss of any spelling ability I may have, previously, possessed).

Hopefully, this year, I can improve on the process.

I'm reading a student paper where the expression 'at the behest of' is used repeatedly to mean 'at the expense of', and it's getting on my nerves.

Why on earth is it so hard to find a decently made pair of black sunglasses with circular lenses? Not round, CIRCULAR.

Seems like fewer people are hashtagging now, which is a shame because that’s how I find y’all’s posts.

Who remembers the minor Gods of Queenstown tourism whinging about lockdown and screaming for our borders to reopen? Yep... them.

Last week QT hospo was calling for the government to provide accomodation for their workers.

This time it's Blair Impey, CEO of the Republic Hospitality Group which operates nine establishments in QT. He blames our PM for the chef shortgage. (Doh!)

The actual problem is AirBnB + Covid.
