Collective Bargining in 2022

When I started teaching in 2019 here in New Zealand our union collective agreement was about to expire. We had Paid Union Meetings, went on strike when things weren’t going well, and ultimately came away with some wins. We got 9% pay increase over three years; an extra pay step was introduced; management units were increased; addition of gender neutral pronouns in the parental leave clause; Māori…

The On-X Valve

When getting a prosthetic valve replacement, one thing to consider is the increased risk of forming a blood clot. The risk is significantly decreased when getting a bioprosthetic valve 1 , but those valves have their own downsides when considering their lifespan. For me, a mechanical valve is the way to go. I have many years of active life yet to live (I hope), and to get a new valve every 10-15…

Markdown Table Generator

Install Apple Shortcut What was the Problem? Markdown is a fantastic language to markup plain text in a way that still leaves the source readable - unlike HTML, for example. It has the ability to do tables, but they’re not very fun to work with. The markup is simple but still cumbersome. | | AR | ER | IR | |---------------------|------|------|------| | Yo | o | o | o | | El/Ella | a | e | e…

Markdown Table Prettifier

Exit Interview: Apple Watch Series 2

Prior to buying the Apple Watch I had not really worn a watch daily for a long time, so it was quite the revelation. Being able to control my music, podcasts, see the weather, record sport activities, and see my calendar events was quite amazing. I used the watch daily for almost everything, including hitting the shutter button for my phone camera (cool!). In 2019 I signed up for Coast to Coast, a…

Exit Interview: Kindle Paperwhite 2 (2013)

Getting an e-reader was a revolution back when I bought this in 2013. It was small, portable, had a backlight, could store as many books as I wanted, and had a battery life measured in weeks. It used it heavily, but then less as my reading habit fell to the wayside while I was at University. The device was light and easy to use. However, the OS was extremely slow. The responsiveness of the screen…

iPad Part One

This post is coming to you from a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9" - a beautiful, huge, iPad.

What Would Make a Difference?

In a previous post I wondered out-loud, what are teachers experiencing and whether we were asking for the right thing, by asking for more money during our collective employment agreement negotiations. I said : The money makes you feel better about taking work home; about the years lost off your life to stress; about the time away from your family and friends; about the time spent working instead…

Thoughts on Racing

I’ve been avoiding this post for a while now. After Coast to Coast 2022 I was feeling disappointed and unsure of myself. I had DNF’ed and was feeling like perhaps I was basing too much of my self-worth on my sporting achievements. Self-Worth It should be clear to both you and I that self-worth is not based on personal wealth, sporting achievements, fame, or anything else like that. My…

Collective Bargining Continues

My First PPTA Remit

At the end of last year, I took over as the Post Primary Teachers Association (PPTA) Representative at my local school Branch. This is an unpaid, voluntary role where you work to disseminate news to branch members and to assist in voting on collective agreements etc. Unsurprisingly, it is actually quite a bit of work, but I love it. Unions feel extremely important to me, and I believe in them…

33C in the Classroom

Sometimes you can feel like a broken record, but, every February in Christchurch it gets hot . Like 30C and over.

Some are brand new, well-insulated and climate controlled, while others get both too hot in summer and too cold in…
