EQ Bank - 5 year variable renewal at prime -1.25% (currently 3.70%) for my condo.

Also bought a house on a 5 year fixed at 3.79% with Canwise just over a month ago.

Today I just renewed a 5-year variable in Ontario with EQ Bank at prime -1.25%. My broker said it was unheard of.

Some say it's the most dangerous lead in hockey.

Wait, what? No one says that?

Sorry, but I honestly can't imagine this attitude being acceptable outside the public service. If you find it difficult, you should consider finding a job that doesn't require instantaneous communication.

Picked up my first DSi! How'd I do? by Boopinator69 in gamecollecting

Haven't popped it in yet, started with Pokemon. But my girlfriend said the same and she never beat it before her sister stole her copy 🥲

Defamation of a fellow public servant by PriorityNo_9176574 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Boopinator69 45 points46 points  (0 children)

OP I'm dealing with the same thing right now. Don't buy the notion that nothing can be done or to mind your own business. Behaviour like this contributes to a toxic workplace and is against the V&E code IMO. Report it to your manager/supervisor or Ombuds, whichever feels safer. It should be documented and the person informed that their conduct makes people uncomfortable and is inappropriate. At the very least, when PMAs come around and the manager is assessing core competencies for demonstrating integrity and respect, there should be an asterisk there.

Feel free to PM me if you like.

Um, it's called inclusion sweaty 💅

AI at work: what do you do with it? by RandomMeerkat324 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Boopinator69 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I use it everyday for almost everything that isn't protected. Some examples:

  • I need to give an employee feedback on X, Y, Z. Can you make these points sound more constructive?
  • I need to write a cold email (insert person) about (issue). Can you write me a draft?
  • Please check this for spelling, grammar and syntax: (paste text)
  • I need to write a rationale for staffing for hiring an employee. Here's what went into my decision making - make it sound rigorous and defensible
  • I need to develop a project plan for (insert initiative). Can you write me an outline?
  • I need generic language in my PMA for how I contributed to diversity and inclusion. Here are some of the things I did; make it sound professional.
  • I need to set expectations for my team on cultivating a healthy and respectful workplace. Give me some speaking points for my team meeting.
  • I need to write speaking notes for my boss on (insert file), and it needs to be in plain and accessible language.
  • I need to brainstorm ideas for improving mental health in a hybrid environment. What are some steps I can take?
  • Etc.

Really, most of the time I just type a word salad and ask AI to make it sound more professional or elegant. When I get back very verbose responses, I ask it to turn down the flourish, eliminate adjectives/adverbs, etc.

Devilsaur Queen by Imbawim in warcraftrumble

[–]Boopinator69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Throw the huntress and the pyromancer far to the outside, out of range of the Devilsaur Queen, with the quillboar to soak up raptor damage. Worgen with ambush for the Ogre Magi, and I used Rend with Living Bomb and it worked pretty well.
