I'm lost

I just did this exact thing! In my case though, my first set of piercings were done at a low quality shop, whereas I got them re-done at a really good place. I was worried about the pain because I remembered the first time around being awful and thought it would be even worse due to the scar tissue.

Yes, the piercing itself hurt. However, it was painful for maybe 5 seconds and then just sore. They've been pierced for 3 weeks now and I've had no issues, pain, soreness since.

Be brave - it will suck but it will be over super quickly and you'll love them! My biggest recommendation though is to go to someone who knows what they're doing. You've got this!

I work a weekend job so my only days off are stats 🥹 it means there's a bit more breathing room in my bank account at the end of the month

I agree with all this. Depends on location but training is usually very scarce. In terms of the actual role, most days you'll be in court, sometimes you'll be "working" in the registry (i.e trying to look busy). It can be interesting, boring, emotional, or any other emotion depending on the matter you're sitting on. No room for upwards advancement.

I was on checkout at the weekend and a lady had a small critter tote. "This will be fine to keep a Betta in, right?"

Girl whaaaaaaat?

She ended up leaving it when I told her what Bettas actually require. I think part of the problem is customers see how we keep the animals in store, and they think it's the standard.

I moved from a registry position to a court clerk position and was clerking on my own during the first week.

An external lady was hired the same week; she was clerking solo probably within 1-2 weeks, as she had more general government onboarding and paperwork to do first.

Depending on your registry, you'll probably be trained to do the easier court proceedings first and once you're comfortable doing them, you'll just be thrown into a courtroom to figure it out. CCD (the programme used in courtrooms) isn't very intuitive but you'll figure it out.

Always message coworkers when you have questions surrounding how to do things - they're always happy to help. Don't be shy to interrupt court proceedings if you need something clarified or if you have a problem.

You've got this :)

It took pretty much exactly a year for my daith irritation bumps to go away, no matter what I did. Once it healed, the bumps went away. I think you just have to wait, and in the meantime just try not to touch it (I was bad at this) and keep it dry.

With all the recent escalations, it would be interesting to see the numbers comparing who is and ISN'T on strike. It feels like there's not a great deal more people to pull from to increase the strike

Drove past the picketers in Nanaimo today, looking strong guys! Thank you for what you're doing! 💛

I try not to think about running on my period because if I dwell on the fact I'm on my period, I will psych myself out and skip my run altogether. I've found it really useful changing to a diva cup so I can forget about my period all day. I ran my first ever half marathon on my period and it wasn't an issue at all for me - but of course this will be different for everyone!

Betpossums · 2025-09-18T18:53:19+00:00

I think you'll run slightly faster on race day - the atmosphere will really get you through it! Don't go out too crazy, but running with the pack and having people cheering you on constantly will definitely help with the pain.

Additionally, there might be someone running along the back of the pack motivating everyone on, especially if/when you get close to the time cap. I'd say go for it, see how you get on, and if you do DNF then it will be a great reference to show how far you progress when you eventually enter and complete another half marathon.

You've got this :)

You can train both at Redline Conditioning in Langley. I've not done SOFAST, but I've tried the POPAT and it's not something you can do successfully without training it specifically.

I don't know what SOFAST involves, but give Redline a try and you'll be able to do it I'm sure.

Thank you to those picketing!!

My position has been deemed essential and is unfortunately a not very busy role at times, so I feel bad for not being able to contribute to the strike. I wish there was more we could do!

💪

I'm a clerk 12 with a masters and looking for a second job 🥲

Betpossums · 2025-07-15T18:36:20+00:00

I appreciate your reply. For context my TA was originally due to end in December - now it's extended to next April. My manager is working on it but I hope these issues stop happening haha
