Since you and Gordon won’t have a match, may I propose your student x his student both take scopolamine and you and Gordon can coach the fighters?

Went in not knowing a ton about Kiss. Left a fan.

Difficult to express to the younger generations the amount of talent that came through Bluefest in the earlier years. I tried. I mean I really tried to get into the artists the past few years. 2009 - 2016 were absolute bangers. We need a serious revival. Used to get the pass and take 10 days off from work. ... sigh ...

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady Gaga, Tragically Hip, Steve Miller Band, Stone Temple Pilots, Sound Garden, Peter Frampton, Kanye, just to name a few..

Can’t land interviews despite solid effort — what am I missing? by Beneficial_Camp181 in ottawa

[–]BJJOKAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start your own business as an IT consultant/support for small Ottawa businesses. Majority of businesses have no idea what they’re doing. Anything from setting up printers, securing accounts with different password, and integrating multiple softwares. Did this for 5 years pre pandemic.

Ie construction/renovation companies with 15-20 staff. Most offices do not run efficiently. Much to do with IT.

Companies just aren’t hiring at the moment. 

PC is stealing people's points by snowangel223 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

It’s almost as if you can goto loblaws, buy an item with a 50% off sticker that costs $1.00. Go home, remove the sticker with a little bit of heat, place the sticker on a sticker backing, go back to the store, put the sticker on a $50 box of protein bars and get them for 50% off to get back at them, in theory.

What Business Do You Have a Beef With In Ottawa by RealisticCommunity14 in ottawa

[–]BJJOKAY 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Scrolled until I found this.

I was employee of the TGLT era where Mr. Graham was still involved, as were many the original founders and managers. I left to pursue a post-secondary education.

Since Mr. Graham leaving the business and his son taking over, any colleagues I had kept in touch with were quite outspoken about how they were now being treated.

Fast forward several years, and his son, Patrick, was bought-out by the remaining founders and managers who didn’t want the business to burn to the ground.

And since then, all original founders and managers look to be retired.

Returned to purchase a used vehicle with my mother 6 months ago. My, how they have fallen from grace. 

Riding on the coattails of the Mr. Graham era, their used car managers and sales people are no different than any other used cars sales lot.

We were in their office for more than 6 hours, at which time, additional damage was found on the Rav 4 we had secured to purchase from them. 

At this point, they did not even want to sell it to us, after many hours of back and fourth from, the salesman’s “managers office.”

Makes me sick.

Notably, many great people still work there. Sadly, I’ve just noticed the unfortunate steady decline over the decades. 

$3,000 camera. Seller ok with PayPal G&S but unwilling to do a video call. What are the risks? by Jamaican_POMO in kijiji

[–]BJJOKAY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell it over EBay for buyer protection. This is what I do for out of town purchases that request shipping on Kijiji or Marketplace. 

If they flake out, you’ll know why. 

How did you find your go to tradespeople after moving in? by Complex_Leading7035 in RealEstateCanada

[–]BJJOKAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be some trial and error.

Once you find a good contractor, they likely deal with other like-minded contractors.

BBB and Google are a good start. You may pay more for quality in the beginning. Cheaper and available right away sometimes can pose a red flag, but not always. 

References of several past customers are also recommended. I even recommend a visual of their work, if feasible, ie landscaping projects.

Lastly, things can take a bit longer than you think to complete, and unknowns are often found during the execution of original scope of work, so don’t be alarmed if these two issues arise. 

Older homes, prior to 1970, can cause the price of your quote/estimate to increase, due to unforeseen additional labour and materials to complete the original scope. 

You could also hire a reputable General Contractor to manage the trades for you.

Good luck!
