Nah, it'll be sweet bro.
It's about what's going to happen (in terms of temporary relocation, etc), not whether or not we still have a job.

Anybody else noticed the question that everyone asked when you first meet someone is 'How is your house?'  I wonder how long this greeting will last.

A bit late to post this here but things are manic...

If any TelstraClear residential customers require special assistance - such as free landline-to-landline call diversions, or need to connect a landline at another property/move their services call us on 0508 24 24 11.

We are waiving any related transfer/connection fees accordingly, and if you need further assistance or there is any other way we can help, we are open to all requests.

Been dealing with a few people really affected by the quake recently, the trauma people are going through just shakes me to the core, I really hope that everyone else here and our friends and family are safe and sheltered at this point.

Let me know if there is anything someone thinks I can do to assist someone who's a customer of TelstraClear (or just needs assistance with getting a phone up and running)

The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

What is the best organisation to give donations to?

We are organising a fundraising night here in Seoul and are wondering who will be best to give the money we raise to? Any ideas?

I second this, during the Queensland floods some businesses were doing donation matching eg. if you donated $10 through them they would also donate $10
Is anyone in NZ doing that?

in short he got the 'moon man' in and told him to stop being a dick and scaring people, considering on the days of his predictions he actually just made a prediction covering a whole month for an aftershock.
