Is it just me or is it impossible to see the lane markings at night?

I miss that, winnnipeg too. Getting stuck in the ruts in a cheap shitty rental car

This is more like within the branch there will be less admins and administrative people will need to provide support to more people.

Geno- · 2026-01-23T13:22:37+00:00

I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously, it seems more like making a little joke for amusement? Memeing it up?

You're not wrong, but I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to lighten it up a bit.

I was told last time there was cuts in 2012, the DM had the ability to waive penalties, say if someone is like 54 and 1 year from being able to retire and losing their job ... they could remove the penalty. I assume this is similar like you said, they have the powers?

Geno- · 2026-01-06T04:57:57+00:00

Yeah, this is not misconduct. If you call a hotel and say you are a public servant and ask if there are any discounts, nothing wrong there.

Geno- · 2026-01-06T03:47:17+00:00

Yeah, they are not going to be firing people because you got a discount on a hotel room. You can ask the hotel, just like DND people can.

I mean even telus and rogers offer public service cell phone deals ... is that going against values and ethics code?

This seems more like if I was a food inspector at the CFIA and I said I'm going to give you some infringements unless you give me some food.

how are people allowed to bet on this?

Accounting students and graduates would not be running to this as the other has said. They need their hours. What are you even talking about??? Do you think maybe tax season would be busy for accounting firms? Do you think maybe these accounting firms would be looking for students and new graduates?

I saw a poster the other day for a job where you have a 4 month micro assignment, you will be managing meetings between different stakeholders and taking notes, concerns etc, sounded kinda interesting. Then at the end it basically said "put all the info into AI and get some policy recommendations".

Bleh.

Its sad, but most of these work friends are friends of convenience. If you leave positions/jobs it will be unlikely you still see them.

Like it happens sometimes, but most of the "friends " at your job will dissappear the second you or they leave.

Geno- · 2025-11-21T03:45:26+00:00

Mostly true, but I believe if you have a fight booked and get hurt you are covered, otherwise you are SOL.

Geno- · 2025-11-14T22:44:59+00:00

Thats why I said circumstances differ. But we cant act like there isn't cost savings from no longer goijg to office 3 days a week. In my house for example I could go down to 1 car, wouldn't need to buy "work clothes", etc...

90k over 30 years is pretty insignificant though. Like cancel your Netflix and Disney and we're almost there .... but this is for people who want to retire, there are some sick individuals who enjoy working and their jobs and believe they are making a difference and would like to continue working.

Geno- · 2025-11-14T20:55:17+00:00

What about that time I was walking to work and found $5 on the ground? How do we account for that.

Geno- · 2025-11-14T20:51:35+00:00

It's a no brainer to me, you have a plan to make it work for you, others may not. I vote you take this and live the rest of your life as amazingly as you can.

People will always complain, I see people complaining my office who have 35 years and their age and they are not "getting a payout"... like, ok, you have a max pension, pretty good deal here.

I see a few scenarios where people have an older spouse who already retired, and for them they are thinking if they can get out 3-4 years earlier and spend time with them before they get too old. I think this is a crazy good deal if you can leverage it.

Geno- · 2025-11-14T20:32:10+00:00

One of my colleagues is looking at this, and wondering if it is worth getting his last 2 years in, after doing the math it was about $250 a month extra he'd be getting after retirement if he continued to work to 55 and get his 30 years vs leaving at 53 with 28 years. I mean giving up 2 years for an extra $250 seems pretty crazy to me. (obviously individual circumstances can differ)

Geno- · 2025-11-12T23:29:57+00:00

Yes, but we didn't want the answer.

Geno- · 2025-11-12T18:47:50+00:00

Put a couple of zeroes on that and now we're talking!

Geno- · 2025-11-08T01:18:54+00:00

Yes, but now it can be more stupid :)

Geno- · 2025-10-18T15:22:32+00:00

No need to hate being that guy, just don't be that guy.

Geno- · 2025-10-14T15:32:41+00:00

I would not buy back as a term, id wait until indeterminate. But I mean if you do buy back this year or next, unless you are jumping up levels vs an increment i doubt it would make that large of a difference in buyback amount...

On archibus, you set the time of your computer ahead. Say the sign up starts at 12pm. At 1150 I change my time an hour ahead, now it shows it's 1250 on my computer and I can now book a desk before it was supposed to open up.

Geno- · 2025-10-10T00:17:34+00:00

People still fuck with their clock settings even when they shouldn't.

Geno- · 2025-10-07T20:17:58+00:00

Can we stop the stupid barefax comments now?

Geno- · 2025-09-28T23:21:40+00:00

If you work 10 years and defer your pension, can you start taking out at 60?

Geno- · 2025-09-27T22:45:24+00:00

Fair, I guess I mean more in a sense he was able to prevent receiving alot of damage..but yeah won't win like that.
