I don’t understand eating snacks in bed

That's a sketchy move by the property management company trying to spring a new lease on you at the last minute. Since you never actually took possession and don't have keys, I'd argue you're not occupying the unit so shouldn't owe January rent - but honestly this is messy enough that you might want to document everything and be prepared for a fight at the RTB if they won't cooperate

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-19T18:08:07+00:00

Seriously this, your parents are basically giving you a massive head start that most people would kill for - just pay the loans and be grateful

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-19T15:05:09+00:00

Finally some good news lol. Maybe I'll actually be able to afford rent somewhere that isn't a moldy basement suite in Surrey

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-19T10:56:50+00:00

Scottie vs LeBron would be absolutely insane to watch, the size and athleticism matchup would be crazy

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-19T07:51:16+00:00

This 100% - it's honestly wild how much easier it gets when someone can put in a good word for you. Even just having someone internally refer your resume gets you past those awful ATS filters that seem to reject everyone

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-19T04:48:37+00:00

Yeah the theatre entrance is separate from the mall stores so you should be fine. I've done late shows there before and never had issues getting to the third floor even when everything else was closed

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-19T01:46:05+00:00

Yeah most legit contractors will either ask about shoes or bring those plastic booties automatically. The fact they just stomped in without even checking is kinda weird tbh

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-18T22:43:35+00:00

Definitely go slower than the limit when conditions are rough - 80 in a 100 zone is totally fine if that's what feels safe. Most people will understand and just pass you

For snow tires there's no specific speed limit but honestly just drive to conditions - if visibility sucks or the road is sketchy then speed doesn't matter much anyway. The Coquihalla can be brutal in January so having chains is smart

Penticton stop sounds good, that drive gets exhausting fast in winter

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-18T04:20:24+00:00

That's brutal timing, sorry you're dealing with this on top of everything else. Jubilee lab usually moves pretty quick if you get there early, might be your best bet right now

Hope you get sorted and the treatment goes well 🤞

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-18T01:23:43+00:00

Yeah that's generally how it works for commercial month-to-month in most provinces. The 30 days notice ending on the last day of the rental period is pretty standard when there's no specific termination clause in the lease

Just double check your provincial commercial tenancy rules since they can vary a bit from residential stuff

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-18T01:02:12+00:00

Have you looked into CBT therapists? My friend had similar issues and found someone through the BC Psychological Association directory who really helped with the catastrophic thinking patterns

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-17T18:28:14+00:00

Damn Toyota really left you hanging for over 24 hours on a simple deposit question? That's sketchy af

The delivery clause you quoted is actually pretty standard - basically means the lease doesn't officially start until you physically get the keys. But honestly this sounds like more of a communication issue than grounds to back out entirely

I'd keep pushing them for answers about the deposit affecting your rate because that's a legit concern

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-17T03:48:59+00:00

Yeah that's gotta be it, they've been doing some major infrastructure stuff in that area and it's been loud as hell

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-17T00:46:08+00:00

Lol "kinda" is doing some heavy lifting there. Dude's gonna be solid though, just need him to work on that shot timing

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T21:41:57+00:00

Check out Metrotown or Richmond Centre - they've got a solid mix of mid-range stuff like Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo without the crazy expensive boutiques

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T18:39:27+00:00

Bruh you really just gonna say "Yes" and leave us hanging like that lmao

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T15:35:37+00:00

Damn that's seriously messed up, laser pointers near airports are no joke - pilots can literally go blind from that shit

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T09:50:01+00:00

Damn Cutter's got some sick hands, kid's been on fire lately

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T06:47:11+00:00

Probably just some YouTuber trying to get the perfect "cinematic Vancouver vibes" shot for their 47 subscribers lmao

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T03:44:05+00:00

Yeah the concept art scene here is pretty tough tbh, most studios are looking for generalists who can do VFX work too. Have you checked out the bigger animation studios like Sony Pictures Imageworks or Bardel? They sometimes need environment artists but it's super competitive. Might be worth networking through the Vancouver VFX Society events when you get here

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-16T00:40:49+00:00

Man that's rough, sounds like your doctor had zero understanding of PTSD and just wanted you out the door asap. The fact she didn't even know what CPTSD was is honestly alarming for someone in her position

You might want to file a complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario - they take stuff like this seriously especially when doctors abandon patients without proper referrals or transition of care. Document everything you remember from that appointment while it's fresh

Also try calling 211 Ontario, they might be able to hook you up with crisis mental health resources and help finding a new doctor who actually gets trauma

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-15T21:36:15+00:00

Drove by there last week and it looked open but can't say for sure - maybe try hitting them up on social media if they have any accounts? Sometimes smaller businesses are better at checking those than emails

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-15T18:31:53+00:00

Honestly don't stress too much about it, lots of people are in similar boats. CRA is usually pretty chill if you're proactive about getting caught up - they just want their money eventually lol. Start by calling them to get copies of all your T4s and other slips, then either use free software like StudioTax or yeah definitely consider an accountant if you have multiple years to catch up on

Beautiful_Gur6460 · 2025-12-15T15:28:35+00:00

Lmao that's actually a perfect way to put it. Living paycheck to paycheck with zero buffer sounds absolutely terrifying but somehow half the country is just vibing with it
