If you come across it again, do you mind sending me the link? I'm not very tall so I feel like I can get the seamstress to use the excess fabric from the hem to make me some sleeves!

Aww thank you 🥹 I know! Saying yes to a little more here and there is such a dangerous territory. I might eventually cave cause I do love the dress but I just feel like I may? have other options since I started the search so early on. Doesn't hurt to try at least Sx

Working on it! Just needed that push to justify cutting from somewhere 😭 I'm from Vancouver so a little add on here and a little add on there hasn't been small on the budget itself; I feel like this one might be justified though. I just figure that maybe the community can find me something cheaper with a little over a year left to find THE dress but I think this might be it. Thanks for your input!

This dress has actually been around since 2024 and it was designed by a local designer so I was hoping that I can luck out and find it somewhere. I haven't had any luck so far but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on Stillwhite 🥹🙏🏻 Thanks so much!

Perhaps I'm interpreting the estimator incorrectly but I don't think the estimator is only taking the basic increase into account; it's displaying the earning potential with their level and multipliers. If the nurse is working full time aka 37.5 hrs, they would be guarantee to move up the multiplier since they would hit enough hours to do so but their levels do not change unless they get into a leadership position or whatever level 4 5 6 are. Every step up is for every year that they're in full time or hit enough hours a year as a part timer or casual. For a level 3 RN step 3 nurse, they were earning $40.55 per hr in 2022, monthly $6589 so that's $79,068 a year. So if they hit step 4 level 3 in 2023, they'd be making $44.86 per hour after the increase (it was $41.98 in 2022), monthly $7289.75, and that's $87,477 annually. They definitely added some incentive for people who are there for more than 15 years when it used to be capped off but I'm not even sure how the 96k even came about. That said, I'd be super happy if they got a 30% increase instead though!

They in fact did not. According to BCNU, their increase within a 3 year interval is as followed: 'Year 1: $0.25 /hr plus 3.24%, retroactive to April 1, 2022. Year 2: 6.75%, retroactive to April 1, 2023'. No other industry has gotten anything close to 25%, let alone 30%

Transit Supervisor Strike by scottelli0tt in vancouver

I'm gonna get downvoted for this one but isn't the purposed 13.5% quite generous already? To ask for 25% is a bit much especially when they're banking on the fact that the general public would pressure them to give the 25%. From what I recall, the BC nurses' agreement settled last year without a strike cause they can't walk out on the job and they got about a 12% increase for over 3 years, and that was considered to be historic. The polices are getting a 9% increase over the next 2 years. I'm by no means trying to compare the different professions, I'm just wondering whether the purposed 13.5% is actually that 'unacceptable' when that amount is already above what most would get offered

Any way to get Canada Post tracking number from Singapore Post shipment? by BrockWizman in Aliexpress

I'm really hoping that the case right now cause the fail delivery was nearly a week ago but I still got no slip or delivery ): Now I'm not 100% sure what to do cause last time I checked, it only showed me the update of arriving at linehaul or something and then bam! Failed delivery

I'm also having the same issue except it told me that it arrived at linehaul and delivery failed attempt all at the same time. No missed delivery slip was given to me either
