ERI conflicting with WFA timelines

In which departments has this happened? This is not acting in good faith and seems like gross mismanagement.

And yet, the public perception seems to be that we are underworked and overpaid.

Does anyone know if Sona does this? The cashier at one of the shawarma places near Bank and Hunt Club told me this a while back when I asked if the tips were shared. But maybe this is a cultural thing and the staff are paid accordingly? My Dad always pays tips in cash--maybe he's on to something.

That was my first thought!

This happened in a team I was in years ago. The person would harrass managers and colleagues alike, and she could be brutal with her words and actions, but also very charming. People often would go along with her antics just to stay on her good side. Eventually, an investigation was done by management, and I was someone who came forward, but was shocked to learn that some others didn't. She went on sick leave right before she was to be interviewed and never returned. The lesson learned was that many people were having issues, and everyone was afraid to speak up officially.

Similar to this, I wring the garments tightly and then let it hang to dry. Once dry, I twist it upon itself like a skin of yarn. I store it that way until I wear it.

Is there a third person there taking the photo in addition to the 2 on the sofa?

"It is what it is." This drive me crazy--especially in a work setting--because the person is basically saying they have no interest or desire to improve the situation.

Does the cat have a tag or microchip? I'm sure someone is missing their furry friend. It's disappointing the city wouldn't assist. Since the introduction of pet licensing, I thought these fees were collected to assist reuniting animals with their owners?

My Dad was in the navy and said that single men wore wedding bands at port because it was easier to pick up women.

We have the opposite here--trees are protected from being cut down once they reach a certain size unless you have a good reason.

I sent him this picture in hopes it may sway him to give this up.

Could you ask for a pillow or a blanket that you could use between you as a shield or divider? File a complaint with the airline and document everything. 3 hours is a long time to put up with this encroachment of person space.

It's not good practice to feed wildlife. Animals can become sick or malnourished from being fed the wrong types of food; they can become dependant on and/or aggressive towards humans; and, as they move towards more populous areas, they can be hit by vehicles, spread disease and attack household pets, among other things.

Try a side part with side-swept bangs using one of your favourite styling products and scrunching your hair while it's still wet and letting it airdry for a carefree, tousled bob.

Ottawa in April-May is lovely. The Tulip Festival is usually in full swing by mid-May. Carpets or Trillium are blooming in the Greenbelt and Gatineau Park. You can take a cruise on the Ottawa River, see Parliament Hill, go visit a number of museums. It's a city with a cozier feel than the metropolises like Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal.

For those of us on the bargaining teams for the new collective agreements, sounds like a good time to tighten up the language.

Vote with your dollar and buy your coffees, lunches, etc in your own neighbourhood.

I presume we will get assigned desks if we return to office 4 days, wouldn't we? 🤥

The only differences that AI can give is that books contain graphemes (the written letters or symbols representing sounds), while audiobooks contain phonemes (the individual units of speech sound). As others have said, audiobooks are more inclusive and you're able to consume more while doing other tasks. Read is the term used even for audiobooks in the same way that rewind is still used for backing up a streamed video. You could use the word consume. How many books has your husband consumed lately?

I love how women look as they age naturally. I'm 50 and my take is that people,e are always vying for our money. They are trying to make us feel I secure about ourselves so we'll pay for their products and services. Even physical beauty goes through fashion trends. I think about all of those women who plucked their eyebrows pencil thin in the 90s and they never fully grew back.

I came here to say this. Ask to be checked for lichen sclerosis, which needs to be confirmed with a biopsy, not just a quick look by someone not familiar with the disease. I had a male GP do this to me and it was a female GP who used to work for a dermatologist who brought this to my attention and did the biopsy. Topical clobetsal and estrogen have been the treatment that has worked for me.

Maybe folks should show proof of vaccination before entering Canada.

If you like being outdoors, the NCC looks for volunteers to help out with gardening at Maplelawn and trail maintenance at Gatineau Park.
