As a contractor, I've just had a "tools down" notice. I've got one small task to complete, but after that, only work specifically asked for, and it's likely to be minimal. I've applied for the part time self employment supplement to see me through 12 weeks of potential unemployment. Thanks NZ taxpayers! I'll pay you back with mediocre tunes.
PS: Are you really a prepper if you don't have an army surplus gas mask?
