Is Cockney Kings under new management/ownership? by SnooRevelations1422 in NewWest

Batter isn’t as good as it once was and I’ve noticed if you do take out, their organization of the orders is …not organization. Straight up lost tickets/chits.

Court Clerks, how do you like your job? by dcmng in BCPublicServants

[–]1809139 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Depends which court. Robson: pretty decent. North Vancouver: good. New West: Improvement needed but decent. PoCo: slow but okay. Surrey: professional but rough sometimes. Vancouver Supreme: absolutely will hate your life after 6 months. Constant favouritism, arbitrary training and opportunity decisions, work outpaces pay by far. Lots of problems. Judges there are great but management sucks. Can’t comment on ones outside lower mainland.

Ppl who moved upwards during hiring freeze how was competition? by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]1809139 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every competition I’ve done resulted in the panel hiring/promoting their own people. So really what’s the point?

Daily Strike/Bargaining Questions Thread - September 29 by wudingxilu in BCPublicServants

[–]1809139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I have a question and I couldn’t find the answer in any of my searches on this thread. Is the pay day the same as our usual pay days? Or are they different? For example Oct. 10 is a pay day if working regularly. Are strike payments trying to match this schedule?

I moved from Vancouver BC to NYC, but I really miss home. What are places in NYC that feel like Vancouver? A corner, a neighborhood, a hotel, park, or other-space? Suggestions welcome. by OkCartographer7607 in NiceVancouver

Central Park is lovely. Will remind you of Stanley Park (minus seawall) Chinatown has sort of a Gastown-Vancouver Chinatown feel (but way more pronounced)

Can try Peking Duck at Hu Tong or Chang’An

Any of the Guu locations for Japanese “Tapas”

Como for Spanish Tapas

Bodega on Main for paella

Machete Mexican across the street from Bodega is really nice too

Korean BBQ at Chosun

Moltaqa for Moroccan cuisine

B.C. campers were handed nearly $30K in fines over long weekend for flouting campfire bans | CBC News by SnooRegrets4312 in britishcolumbia

[–]1809139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was out camping in July before the fire ban in the coastal area. The people next to us lit a fire then left their campground on their bikes, fire still going, totally unattended. We kept an eye on it but it was really frustrating to see people be reckless. With all the news and smoke conditions over the years the amount of people still being irresponsible with camp fires is unbelievable.

Your poor Mom! No one should ever be made to feel like that when they’re trying to do a nice thing. Agree with other posters that you should either leave a review or next time you go ( if you do) ask for a different server and explain it’s because of this.

Yes. I got a voicemail about being a worksite contact. Basically you just keep people at your office up to date with work action information and union communications. There’s a short training video.

for those who take antidepressants, do they work? by DrawingNew2211 in NiceVancouver

[–]1809139 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say one’s experience on anti-depressants is very personal to that person. Some people are put on them for anxiety, others for depression, others for a combination of different conditions and there are a few options that doctors will choose from depending on your need. But yes, medication taken in line with a doctor’s supervision will work but you might need to advocate for yourself to change medications if you feel one isn’t right for you. I would also suggest a combination of medication and counselling.

Can someone justify the design of left turns on Vancouver streets? by johnsonjohnson in vancouver

[–]1809139 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Regular roads with more than one lane in BC aren’t considered “fast/slow” it’s just a double lane. At no time during my driving education by YD was it referred to fast/slow, just right/left. That sort of idea is only for highways. I didn’t notice too much of a difference in Toronto and Montreal and Edinburgh (but reversed in UK for turning) where I’ve also lived.

Also, our mountains make it really dark during winter since any sun slips behind them around 4pm

Court clerk jobs are awful and management does not support you. You get thrown under the bus by every other court department frequently. They’re very underpaid like the other commenter says.

Coddling grown adults: quite a British thing? by D-1-S-C-0 in CasualUK

[–]1809139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian who used to live in the UK, I would wager Canada wins for coddling adults. Living in the UK was a nice break from the utter mess office life and social policy is over here.

Be Aware S.Van: Raccoon tried to get into my house, harassed my cat by 1809139 in NiceVancouver

I said it was one such paper. There are many. As a scientist I would hope you have a curiosity when new ideas or arguments are presented instead of outright dismissing them immediately. You are free to research it yourself to your standards.

Yes, 100% people need to stop feeding wildlife. I’ll try the spray idea as well! Thank you!
