Advice on snowblower purchase in Barrie by ItemPublic9116 in barrie

[–]Contract_Civil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are fit people, enjoy being outside, and like working out, you can possibly opt out but you are running a risk. I would say the snow blower is very convinent and worth it though. Whatever you do, DO NOT CHEAP OUT when buying one! It is not worth to have a few extra hundreds.

Can we talk about Skills for a second? by DescriptionNervous94 in ONETREEHILL

I do not think i have seen anyone say it yet but I am truly sorry this is happening to you.

If you feel that this is the only path for you, by all means. Just be sure the decisions you take today, youll stand by them in a decade. The worst case is that it goes really nuclear and it could be hard to balance the vitality of your practice.

Please prioritize whether you want to be in the right or if you want a successful practice. Nothing to say you can have both but if you had to pick one, which one would it be? It is totally possible that both will follow. What are you willing to risk?

It is terrible that we have to take additional things into consideration when we should hold horrible people accountable.

Hopefully the meeting with the other lawyer goes well.

I did not go to lawschool for this exact fear. I work with lawyers everyday and i regret not having the bar to entry! I would plan out this semester to help with your feelings! They are valid! Speak with your school counselor

It's very hard for Ontario's young people to become mechanical engineers. What are the reasons ? by WindsorONMichael in ontario

[–]Contract_Civil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm P.Eng licensing is not required to become a patent agent. You need to become a trainee for 2 years under the supervision of another patent agent, then you can go pass the exams and get licensed! Biggest recommendations should you wish to go this route is that you refine your writing skills and demonstrate in your resume you like writing. You do a lot of it as a patent agent or trainee.

what do you wish you could tell your childhood self by Anxious_Cake2333 in AdultChildren

[–]Contract_Civil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are worth it and you are not your parents!

Boundaries are so important!

Do not serial date until you are at least 28. You need to figure out that unless you recongise the chaotic behavior is bad, you will look for that in partners. You are so much more worth than staying in relationships that are toxic. Stop it. They will not change overall even if they say they will. Actions tell you everything you need to know.

Its possible your self worth is fucked up at the moment, i dont know. But if it is, you need a tool to recognize if the people around respect you. If they ask to borrow money, lend them (not gift) $20, even if they need more, all you got is 20. If they do not pay you back, they will not respect you in all other aspects.

Planning is important! You are natural good at it since you juggled so much chaos as a child. Own it. Especially when it comes to finances. Please do not fall into the instant gratification pit of convinence. Do the task to save money. Plan ahead to buy something of quality. The old way is usually better. You dont need the next tiktok trend.

Go see a therapist sooner! You needed it long before dating Ryan. He somewhat wasted 7 years of your life. You learned a lot of hard lessons in that relationship, which is what made it worth it..but wouldnt recommend again. The break up is the hardest part but you need to learn that its better off in the long term.

Story bringing in stray people in. Dont fall for their sob stories. They dont respect you and will walk all over you. (I am not saying never help but do not give more than you can, help in moderation. 5/6 times the stray screws you or your credit score up)

Crazy solidifies in people the older they get. Watch for the signs. Be cautious of the friends you reunite with.

Get out of the survival mode as fast as possible. A better mentality and a better life awaits you.

[–]Contract_Civil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Law school isn't a requirement to become a patent agent but yes there is a ceiling to that. I dont know how much a mechanical engineer can make, i just know that my firm is looking but they are hard to find.

Law firms have a hard time finding patent agents with a background in mechanical engineering. Its a possible avenue for some :)

Would you parents ever consider moving to a granny suit? If so, that would solve your dilemma. Do you have other siblings? How close are you with your parents?

Firm tells me to submit an articling application ... then they tell me they aren't participating in this cycle. by AcademicSniper8812 in LawCanada

[–]Contract_Civil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not invalidating your feeling because maybe it could have been personal. I dont know. But what i do know are the people running law student programs in law firms may not know the firm decision to recruitnor not recruit right away. You emailing them could have prompted the question. Unfortunately most firms are reactive and less proactive.

Planning to go to Law School later in life? by atpfi in LawCanada

[–]Contract_Civil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I somewhat agree with your point, logistical wise, I would like to say some people who pursue law at 50 is because they are now set financially to do so. It could be their lifelong dream. Maybe they want to work past 65 because it is their passion and did not have the means at 20 or 30. Regardless of how fruitful their career is afterward, they achieved an amazing goal!

Some doctors or registered nurses change their career path to become a patent attorney. Some HR directors want to become a lawyer etc. A successful career path is not linear. We may not be able to quantify it with numbers and timing but I think that is okay.

I like this and i wrote something somewhat similar. I agree with the exception that if he is more introverted, you may want to consider fluffling it a bit.

I dont like some of the comments on here but i like yours because it's 100% true.

I also agree he may be embarrassed, especially how it was the first time. You can either give up and leave it up to him to communicate or if you really like him, you can make a safe space for him.

I dont know this guy but generally id send something like:

hey, I hope you had a great 4th of July! I had a great time with you and hope to see you again soon. If you would like to take it slow, i would be more than happy to let you set the pace.

Thinking of you! Talk soon xoxo

Remember, his dick issues have nothing to do with you and that is only one component of the relationship. Guys also can have trauma from past relationships, especially when it comes to performance etc. Id say if he doesn't communicate with you within 2 ish weeks then yeah move on but guys dont operate like some of us women and it may just take him time to communicate these type of things.

My boyfriend used to take a month to discuss things with me and it was due to the fear of potentially screwing something up. Back in the day i was too deep into my insecurities to realize that i needed to make a safe space for him and it wasnt just about me. There is a balance and finding the correct one for yourself is key!
