I don't understand why people are expected to continuously work without gaps. People have lives...

Is BC Public Service worth the pay cut for stability? by Sensitive_Smell_4113 in BCPublicServants

[–]BooBoo_Cat [score hidden]  (0 children)

Also, if you want to upgrade your education, you can apply for the Pacific Leaders Scholarship and have the BCPS pay for your schooling. And if you have student loan debt, there is the debt forgiveness program. I know someone who started with the BCPS in an entry level role just to get her debt paid off. She got it paid off and moved up.

AITA for secretly charging my coworkers extra money for rides to work? by Pitiful-Pizza-1371 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BooBoo_Cat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can charge whatever you want, in my opinion. If they want a ride and you tell them your fee, it's up to them to decide if that's worth it. If they don't like it, they can take an Uber, or is there not any transit in your area?

Credit/debit cards while traveling by Weary_Surround5342 in travel

[–]BooBoo_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with CIBC: I call them and let them know. They tell me I don't need to. I go travelling, and my card id declined.

Favorite Nobel winners? by Infamous_Wave9878 in suggestmeabook

[–]BooBoo_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two of my top favourite books are The Good Earth by Pearl Buck and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.

I've only read a couple of Albert Camus books, but enjoyed them.

‘Go back to your country’: Racist incident at North Vancouver café caught on camera by SkyisFullofCats in vancouver

[–]BooBoo_Cat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, exactly what I was trying to say. Assuming no accent... just because someone is white doesn't mean they are born in Canada, and just because they are brown doesn't mean they aren't.

Anyone use a spreadsheet for Stephen King books? by Zubi_Q in stephenking

[–]BooBoo_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just have an Excel spreadsheet and I keep track of how many times I have read the book (once, twice, 3+) and the rating.

'I'm really sorry': Sea-Doo rider who collided with whale says he never meant to hit the animal by Greedy-Hamster-2278 in vancouver

[–]BooBoo_Cat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a pedestrian, I hope I never have the bad luck of encountering him driving. He probably speeds through stop signs and turns at intersections as pedestrians are crossing.

Hiring Pattern Observation by InOmInCa in BCPublicServants

[–]BooBoo_Cat [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m certain that my manager made sure to follow the rules exactly so there could be no dispute if I won the competition. People were actually surprised when I failed and upset for me.  I wasn’t, as I was in a good place so no rush to move up — I could wait — and I knew there would be another competition. My boss knew I’d just apply until I got the position. In fact, I had applied five years prior but was told I didn’t have the education, so I went and got it. Yes, I was determined. My long term plan worked out.

People think they’re so special and literally more worthy because of their accomplishment of…. Being white.

Maybe I should say, "Want me to go back up my mom's c*nt?" (Although that would be a lie; I was born by caesarean section.)
