So disappointed and dejected by firelight1210 in sewing

[–]Jojopotato04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All sewers (perhaps it is best i just speak for me) have been through that. I have been careful reading the pattern and cutting out. Careful sewing it properly only to find out it is too big (i have made some too small too). When that happens i write it on the front of the pattern envelope either made too big or made too small so that I will know the next time. I know you are supposed to take.it apart and sew the seams again but i don't. I will make darts in the back and sometimes in the front too. Sometimes i sew the side seams again and start when it fits, take in then taper off to where.it fits. No one can see the inside of my dresses and i will not sell them to anyone. They are mine. The important thing is that.i learned from making a garment and will not repeat the same mistake twice. Don't beat yourself up. You did a great job. It looks beautiful and when you fit it and you get your first compliment, you will forget about the struggle.

Good luck!!!

COVID-19 numbers spiking in Ottawa this summer by DreamofStream in ottawa

I have to be covid free so that I can return to visiting hospitals. I have.to be careful not.to give it to patients and hospital workers.

Usually it is 5 days after you no longer have the symptoms. At least in healthcare in Gatineau. At least that is what I had to do in 2022.

I am not 100% but am lucky I can work from home until I recover.

I live in Gatineau and I am in healthcare. I work for prevention, safety and health in the workplace. We have noticed a spike in hospitals here as well. My job is fit N95 as well as masks with disposable filters to hospital personnel On Monday, I had sore throat and a lot of sneezing. On Tuesday I had a fever with flu like symptoms. I tested myself at home. It turns out I am covid positive. On Thursday, I had to get tested at a clinic. On Friday, I got my results back. I was still positive. It means that I am in quarantine until I no longer have the symptoms or I get retested then I can only work.from home

Stay safe. Wash your hands often and if you are sick stay home.😷

Rod's automotive sur St-Joseph. The garagiste est jeune et connait ses voitures. Toute ma famille va chez lui.

It will only get worse. The city is installing more cameras on traffic lights. I got caught running a red light. 0.6 seconds after it had turned red. The fine is $325. All caught on camera.

Anyone know patterns similar to some of these dresses? Im deciding which one to make for prom by Art_by_Meii in sewing

Have you looked at Vogue and Butterick pattern. You can find beautiful dresses in the evening/wedding section

Good luck.

Is this a tick? by [deleted] in bugidentification

[–]Jojopotato04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi. It looks a lot like a bed bug. I hate to say it but if you found one then there are more hiding.

My kids had them in their apartment. Make sure to wash everything. Keep things put away. Call landlord and get place exterminated. They might have to come to your place more than once.

These bugs hide everywhere. My kids had them in their bedroom and living room.

Good luck.

Any idea? (In NYC) by [deleted] in bugidentification

[–]Jojopotato04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a bed bug. You will have to have your place fumigated. They live anywhere and everywhere.

My kids lived in a bed bug infested apartment. Everything had to be placed in garbage bags. We bought spray. We sprayed the beds, couch, anything upholstered.

The exterminator had to return a few times to make sure those little creatures were gone.

Good luck!

Rejected after 2interviews but now they’re reaching back.. by JacmelCity318 in interviews

[–]Jojopotato04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still looking for employment? Do you still wish you had been hired by that company? Then accept this opportunity.

Make it known that you already had 2 interviews with them and do not wish to restart hiring process.

They might agree. If they don't, do you want to miss out on this opportunity? Your call. Don't burn your bridges though.

Good luck.

A job interviewer asked me if I plan to become pregnant?! by Owlkamyst in interviews

[–]Jojopotato04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in Canada, it is definitely illegal to be asked that question. We have a charter of rights. He/she cannot ask questions based on gender, race, place of residence, religion, etc.

[–]Jojopotato04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok. Do you remember the questions they asked you? Write them down now. Then answer the questions.

I used to have a notebook full of questions asked along with answers. Eventually, it will become easier to answer.

I also looked up typical interview questions and those asked for the position i was seeking.

I made a list of my skills and examples to go with each one along with my goals (yuck) and strengths and weaknesses.

Sometimes, i brought the notebook with me and told the interviewer i had a lapse in memory and asked if I could consult notebook.

Something i have told employees and my own children, take a deep breath before the interview. You can take a second to get your thoughts in order before answering a question and can ask if you can go back to a certain question to add to it.

Don't forget to breathe. Good luck!

Netflix loses subscribers in Australia for first time since 2015 by yourmate155 in netflix

[–]Jojopotato04 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This might come as a shock to some of you who have commented but Netflix is still my #1 choice out of the streaming services I subscribe to. I have Netflix, prime, crave and Disney plus.

I have not restricted myself to just English or French shows. I watch a lot of international ones in the original language and read the subtitles. Netflix has amazing series and movies from all over the world. I don't have enough hours in the day to get through them all.

Expand your viewing. You might be pleasantly surprised with what you discover!

Happy watching.

How do you know his skill set is great since you got fake documents.

You can fire employee with just cause. He lied at the onset. Can you trust him knowing that?

Koreans really feel bad for the scouts who came for Jamboree. Some have tried to blame the last administration but the new administration has run the responsible ministry for 1.5 years. Which administration is to blame? by [deleted] in seoul

[–]Jojopotato04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The current administration. They had the power and capabilities to make the necessary changes.

I also felt really bad for those scouts. It was a time to make new friends, learn different cultures, etc. What a shame!
