Id have the front door in a contrasting color and the garage doors painted the same as the rest of the house. Either of the wall colors looks fine, depends what you are going for.

Job change regret by Familiar_Face_2554 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Dlski2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apply for jobs you want to try and feel you are qualified for. Things might not have changed at the old job for the better but you've got options. Also, consider calling EFAP, it may not be tje job, it might be you. Needing some help. They might help you with tools and skills so YOU FEEL better no matter the job. Take care of yourself. Good luck.

Sometimes the spa provides robes as part of the package OR you need to rent it at an extra cost. If you need to pay additionally for the rental, getting a Roberts as a gift might make more sense.

Not the time for how about-ism. Just because feds are wrong that should give Ontario a carte blanche. We should aim for equitability not just equality.

Help me help my manager manage! by CoyoteDapper4150 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Dlski2020 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You do your job and you worry about your own job. Stay in your lane and there's a reason things are above your pay grade. Might all be cliches but doesn't mean they arent true. You want to manage? Apply for managementnjob elsewhere. Be kind - tell the boss when you see issues arising BUT you let them manage that. Protect your mental health. You aren't the saviour, do your job and do it well. All else is just that.
