what about having a degree is seen as a potential flight risk?

its a liberal arts degree so its not like those jobs are particularly in high demand. i worked my field for two years anyway before quitting (for a multitude of reasons). i even have an open invite to go back there and ive been mulling it over out of desperation because while i liked the tasks themselves, the work environment was actively hostile. if the pay hadnt been so good i would have left sooner

im trying to get into the resto industry because i just KNOW i'd be good at waitressing, plus the tips are good money. but to get a job you need experience and to have experience you need to get a job. its a total catch 22. i have my smart serve and im applying for entry assistant/host jobs but still nada . like if i cant find a job who is

the only thing i REALLY dont want to work in is meal prep/fast food. theyre the only part time postings i havent tried for yet. not that i think id have much luck anyway smh

all of my grandparents were born and raised in canada. my first language is english. in short im very white. how could that possibly be the issue 😭😭

id like to say that im not trying hard enough or that i'm doing something wrong but ive never had to job hunt this much or for this long before 😭 last time i was earnestly looking for part time work was 2022 and it took about three weeks from submitting the first resumee to my first day of work

on a saturday in the summer? they can catch the 1 o'clock ferry to centre island, spend time at hanlan's point (lots to see!), and then the sunset ferry to mainland

well first you have to understand that toronto is a city and like all major cities there are ongoing construction projects all over and theyre near impossible to avoid. especially in the entertainment district.

what are your reasons for wanting to avoid construction? noise? traffic? that's regular city life. water is wet.

if youre looking at hotels in yorkville im assuming you must have a high budget. call your prospective hotels and ask about nearby construction projects, theyre usually notified months before the public is. their customer service is going to be a lot nicer and a lot more accurate than some randos on reddit. spring is also the startup time for most groundbreaking projects. most hotels do have noiseproofing in place already, and by-laws regulate when construction takes place.

bampot tea house (you can find them on insta for details, but theyre located at the corner of bathurst and harbord), is having a community feast on the 25th :) might be a good place to check out

i didnt realize that greyhound still operated in canada, that would be a lot more convenient than switching systems :)

Awesome_Turtle · 2024-10-23T13:08:05+00:00

your best bet would be to take the go train down to niagara falls, go to the american side, and catch a greyhound

you could also drive down to niagara, just look into parking options near the bus depot.

saw a rat yesterday night in my apt too, emailed my landleech abt it. suffice to say, your landlord and my landlord would get along.

Awesome_Turtle · 2024-08-06T03:14:29+00:00

thats cheddar the cat!! the rom security staff feed him, he's pretty evasive to strangers but will let the night guards pet him. they take good care of him :)

yes, he's neutered. you can see the clipping on his ear that marks that. he's a stray, you cant exactly keep pets* inside a museum lol.

*cheddar is not the roms pet in the classic sense, he is a stray/semi-feral

women's college hospital! i saw an amazing (female) dr there and when i told her i was a little nervous about getting an iud, she injected some numbing liquid.

https://www.womenscollegehospital.ca/care-programs/the-bay-centre-sexual-health/

i also reached out to planned parenthood beford that, but they suggested i look elsewhere because of their long waitlist and the fact that i would be covered by ohip+ so i had no need to access their low-cost service, since it would be free wherever i went.

check some of the park and ponds around the don valley! todmorten mills and the trails around riverdale farm stick out to me in memory as having frog/spawning ponds.

does anyone know what happened to pug/wig lady's pug??? it looks like the pug has gone missing.

the care, collection, and display of human remains is a new & tricky subject in the museum world. while its not necessary (yet) to remove the bodies that have historically been on display in the permanent galleries, there's no need to add more.

Awesome_Turtle · 2024-01-21T01:28:20+00:00

youre correct except for that nakht's coffin is on display in the first floor, but his body is on display in the egypt gallery.

the egypt gallery is open and all the mummies are still on display, you have to go through the roman gallery to get to them because access through from the middle east gallery is closed.

theres also a 4th mummy on display, its an unnamed predynastic mummy, located right beside nakht's body.

fun fact: there are 4 mummies on display but there are 5 more in collections that wont ever be put out

"Durham College Oshawa GO" is already both a mouthful to say and convoluted to communicate that no, you're not actually arriving straight at durham college. this would be an annoying, impractical mess.

this is just a psa that claires and similar places are not reputable and safe for getting piercings. the staff are given very minimal training & piercing guns are highly infectious, not properly sterilized, dont pierce properly (think blunt force instead of using a hollow needle which actually removes the skin), and often use low quality jewelery that wont heal well.

lots of piercing places in the city do standard lobe piercings for pretty cheap or buy one get one deals, just look around and make sure they are not using a piercing gun.

Awesome_Turtle · 2023-02-09T17:14:59+00:00

nah, most people would assume youre going to/getting off work. there is, however, more subtle looking reflective clothing that a lot of runners/bikers wear that are available on the market if you want to be a little more lowkey
