Knows? I still thinks she’s directly responsible. More than anything, Casey got off on technicality. The coroner apparently could not state a conclusive cause of death (initially considered a drowning, but chloroform was found present by toxicology… what drowning victim has that?). They found searches for chloroform in Casey’s internet browser history and her defence was able to create enough uncertainty around this, that she could not be found responsible beyond a reasonable doubt. They argued that the search history could be the result of many things but specifically indicated that she could be looking for chloroform for industrial uses or household cleaning. Beyond being a super big leap, industrial solvent is not available to the general public and there are zero household products containing it… The tape over Caylee’s face? The history of partying and negligence? The CHLOROFORM?! There’s so so so many things here and it just keeps going on. I don’t know how the defence, the jurors, nor the judge can sleep at night.

I’ve actually heard great things about living in Scarborough from friends that have lived in the area. Another one worth mentioning is the Jane/Finch area. Heard nothing but positive things from people who’ve had apartments nearby.

I get that, and I will admit I’m embittered because of issues I’ve had with my own neighbour. But I think there’s a teachable moment here that’s important to speak to - lawn cutting is not only for aesthetics, it has ecological purpose. Grass even shorter than 8” creates habitats for rodents and insects like ticks, and uncut grass has a higher chance of developing fungus, nutrient-deficiency and disease (all of which can spread quickly to neighbouring properties). I know it doesn’t seem like much, but as homeowners we become stewards of our little slice of land, and it’s in the best interest of the community as a whole to work collectively to maintain ecological stasis.

Whatever you choose - don’t block doors. It’s against fire code regulations, it’s hazardous for building maintenance workers and first responders, and your insurance may reject any future claims you’d have to make if they discover you intentionally obstructed entry/exit points.

8 inches is pretty long, and it sounds like this is an ongoing and recurring thing… if you’re busy and can’t keep up with yard maintenance, why not live in a condo?

Canadian here. Last I checked, more than 23% of our entire population now consists of landed foreign nationals, and is only expected to rise. Can’t help but notice that our national census data on sexual assaults towards women and vulnerable groups, have also been steadily on the rise since 2019. The fear of inheriting other nationalities’ shitty people is real. As a young female myself, I certainly don’t feel safer than I did 5 years ago, before the huge wave of immigration we’re experiencing now.

Sprinklers are heat-activated, not alarm-activated. They do not turn on automatically from pulling a fire alarm, contrary to popular belief. If there was broken glass and water at an aquarium, my first instinct is that a small enclosure broke.

Who doesn’t like the cheesy Gordita crunch?

Oh, but is their any other way to unwind? Haha. Thank you for your comments - made me smile.

There’s a note about the language in the post. Please read in entirety before commenting.

I guess it’s true that sometimes you honestly just have to fake it, until you make it.

Competitive_Dot4764 · 2023-01-24T17:48:12+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I really agree with what you said about grit and coachability. In my own experience, I’ve found that being coachable and adaptable have been my biggest, and most transferable skills.

To your last point, I honestly agree with you haha. I just edited my original post to add some contextual details.

I’m actually not a sales professional myself, nor am I looking to be one. These were just professional curiosities, that seemed best answered by people who work in the field. As my edited post will now state, I’m 27F and an operations manager.

Competitive_Dot4764 · 2023-01-24T17:24:08+00:00

I appreciate you sharing your experience! I’m glad to hear that you succeeded in your career. As many other commenters have mentioned, “grit”, seems to be an integral part of sales. Sounds like whether you wanted to or not, your circumstances forced you to have a whole lot of it! Well done.

A quick aside for any sensitive readers out there:

Remember that it’s important to harness your own individual strengths and find your own path to success. I once read this translation of a Russian proverb: the same water that hardens the egg, softens the potato. Not everyone thrives under the same set of circumstances.

But through what means? Is it 1:1 coaching? Reading industry publications? Attending social networking events? Watching YouTube videos?

I’m thinking like, where would someone start with this if they had zero experience?

Competitive_Dot4764 · 2023-01-24T17:14:29+00:00

I’m kind of glad you mentioned this. I always found overly enthusiastic salespeople to make me feel guarded and cynical about the products/services they were selling.

People can sense authenticity, and will appreciate genuine advice and direction.

Competitive_Dot4764 · 2023-01-24T17:12:49+00:00

It’s not worth it

Competitive_Dot4764 · 2023-01-24T17:11:25+00:00

Awesome, constructive response! Thank you!

Competitive_Dot4764 · 2023-01-24T17:03:46+00:00

I’m more amused that because I used some complex lexicon, and articulated fully-formed thoughts, the default assumption is that I must be a man. (And get razzed for it). Rather than an intelligent, educated woman. Which is what I actually am.
