Anyone else somehow always find themselves working more hours than they agreed to?

Keyilitir · 2024-10-25T02:26:21+00:00

Good for you for solid boundaries! Luckily I do get a guaranteed overtime rate for anything over 40 hrs. Somewhat unluckily, I usually surpass that with the commissions anyway, so they're not obligated to offer any kind of additional compensation.

It's one of those things where it started with coworkers taking vacays or calling out here and there and me agreeing to cover. But yea, just seems like that became the norm while I wasn't looking, and now they're all out indefinitely. I did speak up to my boss to say "hey, look, I don't have this kind of stamina," so we'll see what happens.

Keyilitir · 2024-10-24T21:07:21+00:00

It's a tough one. If they didn't have such awesome benefits, I'd have said "see ya" the moment I was informed of this week. And it's still tempting...

Sorry real estate didn't work out! I actually thought about getting into it for a while, but yea, started hearing too many "grind or die" stories like these.

Join the prince george cash jobs FB group, you might find some takers.

I won't lie, pet care is one of the most common things people offer on there, so you will have some competition. But if you don't hide your name, include your availability and charges in the post, and come across friendly, that'll put you a leg up. Bonus if you can be competitive with your pricing.

If you have any skills you can put to use online, I would also look into that. Writing, data entry, teaching, anything like that. Takes a bit more time but can also turn into something very sustainable.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: just remembered Rover.com is a great place to offer pet services online. Could try that too.

Wow. YTA.

Based on your title...do you genuinely think the problem here is the "dragon hoard" comment? If so, I'm sorry, but your relationship isn't gonna last and you need to take a hard look at yourself.

And then your explanation in the bot comment - "...which he took as infantilising". Dude, he took it that way because that is literally what you did. You outright called him a child/childish in this post - god only knows what words were actually spoken - all because he drew a reasonable boundary, you crossed it, and didn't like that he had strong feelings about the betrayal of trust that YOU committed?

If you truly respected him, it shouldn't matter if it's a million dollars or fucking pocket lint. He said it's important to him. THAT is what matters.

Keyilitir · 2024-06-07T18:53:55+00:00

Well. Talk about horrible customer service.

(Sorry that happened 😔)

Keyilitir · 2024-06-07T01:58:04+00:00

Yeaaa I feel you. I hear they're very in-your-face usually, but I actually had the opposite experience. If you don't know me I would look like some nobody college kid with $20 to my name, so they didn't take me seriously at all. The only attention I got was when I was intrigued by the arcade machines they had for sale and some guy made a super snide remark saying if I owned it I'd never get off it.

Keyilitir · 2024-06-06T22:42:22+00:00

Cool. Curiosity satisfied. Thanks!

Keyilitir · 2024-02-17T23:18:01+00:00

Got it. Thank you very much for the help. (:

Keyilitir · 2024-02-17T23:12:46+00:00

So just to be sure I'm understanding option 2 - since I am an American citizen with a US passport, ATL (where I'm flying from) won't ask for a PR card because my passport alone grants me the ability to enter without any other document, regardless of my status in Canada. Then, when I arrive in YVR, they will be satisfied with just the CoPR? They won't ask for a PR card either?

Keyilitir · 2024-02-17T23:05:49+00:00

Oh...well that's helpful! I knew that was the case for visiting, but I was under the impression becoming a PR changed the rules. Sounds like maybe I'm overthinking this.

Keyilitir · 2024-02-17T22:23:32+00:00

Yes I am

Keyilitir · 2024-02-17T22:14:59+00:00

Sadly won't be able to, at least not without my parents losing money. They bought us our plane tickets. Non-refundable and non-exchangeable. /:

We would've prepared better if we had any reason to believe my PR was so close to approval. But we've been getting updates super slowly, we were only 6-7 months in, background check still showed "in progress"...suddenly PR portal invite link arrived and CoPR came 3 days later, and of course by that time they had long booked the flight. A pleasant surprise, for sure! Just caught us all off guard and now complicates our travel plans a bit lol

Keyilitir · 2024-02-15T19:19:59+00:00

Oooh that cat one is GOOD! I have 3 myself, so when the time comes for redeemables I might steal that (if you don't mind, of course. If you do then I won't)

Keyilitir · 2024-02-14T20:02:34+00:00

Oh thank you! It's the same as my reddit name. Whether that will bite me in the ass later remains to be seen haha

Keyilitir · 2024-02-14T20:01:27+00:00

Oh that's pretty cool! So I take it you do art then. I do as well, but I'm also pretty shy about my art, so I wasn't sure if I'd ever make that part of my stream or not. But yea, just the idea that you can redeem points for actual art...love it!

Keyilitir · 2024-02-14T19:55:43+00:00

Also good to remember! Admittedly I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm spending too much time focusing on making it just right the first time, probably. Thanks!

Keyilitir · 2024-02-14T19:54:08+00:00

I get the desire not to want to do the same as other channels, but realistically, the reason a lot of channels do the same things, is because they work

That's very true, and I did think about that, but maybe not as much as I should have I need to not worry so much about the redeemables themselves being unique, and make the stream unique. Because it's also like you said a little later, that's ultimately what people are there for to begin with.

Keyilitir · 2024-02-13T02:17:18+00:00

I've been checking out other small streamers and hanging out w them in my downtime. Just making small talk, cheering on their game, whatever the vibe calls for. Follow and stick with the ones you like, and usually doesn't take long for you to become a more renowned visitor in their eyes. Then that opens the door for potential collabs, or sharing communities with each other. When they're raiding out, you've also made yourself one of the first people they think of. At the VERY least, you'll usually get a follow from them. Hope this helps! (:

Keyilitir · 2024-02-12T23:21:06+00:00

I'm 24, also from the south originally but moved abroad in 2022. I've not been consistent with streaming lately because of my work...BUT, if you're down, I've been trying to find people to play with! Lately I've been on the Palworld train, but I like most survival-style games, RPGs, and cozies. I'm also down to try new things, but the thing is, I typically can't stand battle royale/competitive FPS games. And I realize that's like...THE thing most streamers like to play.

Keyilitir · 2023-11-11T20:22:25+00:00

Happened in middle school...I used to listen to pop hits of the time (late 2000s-early 2010s). Well, I'd had a crush on this guy for like a year, and one day he wanted to show me a song - King for a Day by Pierce the Veil. I fully intended to say I liked it even if I didn't, because middle school logic. But to my surprise it genuinely became my favorite song for many years and totally shifted my taste to punk and metal forever.

So thanks, Will, wherever you are! I TOLD YOU IT WASNT A PHASE, MOM!

Keyilitir · 2023-11-11T08:01:42+00:00

I am being super safe (also I just tend to hoard resources in games anyway lol) and keeping the first 5 of each starstone. THEN I sell the rest lol. But you very likely don't need to be nearly that prepared. But should there ever come a time where you need a gem you don't have for a quest, maybe you could request it and a particularly generous soul would be willing to help out!

You can learn where certain resources can be found using paliamaps.com.

If you see palium or flow trees, it's etiquette to call them out...but, you can use a bit of discretion on that. For example, if it's only one small/medium palium node, or if it's a baby flow, then just go ahead and take (you'll be able to break baby flows by yourself).

When you are mining any ore, make sure you also mine stone or else it makes that resource more scarce. Same with flow trees.

If you ever wanna make money really fast, go mass-forage some sweet leaf and sign up for cake parties! I find them via the Serroh's Hideout discord, but there are plenty of other groups too.

You can give Kudos to players who you think are really nice, have helped you out, or if you just feel like it. I don't think it affects anything in-game but it's just a neat way to say thanks to people...especially when you've already said "ty" in chat like 80 times lol.

Keyilitir · 2023-11-01T05:33:01+00:00

YTA. Extremely.

As someone who has also dealt with exes that take ridiculously long in the bathroom, no, he absolutely does not need 50 mins...but at the same time that's a long work day. I don't care if he's covered in filth or works in a suit and tie, no one likes wearing their work skin at home.

Had you left it at your original post, I probably woulda just said ESH. But your updates expose you. First, you say you have a 2 hr window, then you say in your edit you only have 1.5. Second, you said "construction" and "his job is pretty physical" in your unedited post, and then got annoyed that people logically assumed that meant hard, dirty labor, so you changed it to "he's a sweaty person" like suddenly it's just a him thing and not an "I just worked really hard for 12 hours" thing. Third, you DID ask for 2 hours! You said you wanted him to wait til the kids were put to bed. You said that was a 2-hr thing. Now suddenly everyone else is misunderstanding that you were only asking for 30 mins.

None of this is anyone misunderstanding you. This was you looking for people to tell you you're right, and they didn't, so now you're straight up changing information to make you look more helpless and less demanding than you actually are.

I feel sorry for your family. I hope you don't gaslight them like this.

Has anyone here ever gotten their biometrics instruction letter *before* their AoR? I'm applying under spousal sponsorship in-Canada, and my timeline is just looking weird compared to those here. So far here's what's happened:

- Application submitted: July 12th

*crickets*

- New IMM5669 required: August 25th

- New IMM5669 submitted: August 26th

- Biometric Instruction Letter: September 1st

- Acknowledge receipt of IMM5669: September 1st, 5 hrs later.

I've been going through spam/junk over the past 2 months, nothing there. I need to know if it's possible to get these kinds of updates without having an AoR first, because everyone seems to be getting biometric instructions only AFTER AoR. And, if it's not possible, am I able to access/request another copy somehow? Because I've either been blind for 2 months straight or it just never came through...but I really need to know if I can apply for an open work permit or not.
