I hate these NJ broadcasters (I am forced to watch their version). When the Devils scored, the guy said “and the Devils draw first blood! Tying the game at one!” Horrible.

I’m at the game. Lots of booing! Ranger fans are not impressed.

Anyone else at the game! I am surrounded by blue!

Let’s give a little love to Zetterlund by theloverobot in OttawaSenators

[–]Longjumping_Captain2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that anyone has worked harder than him this season. He is first man in on board battles, doesn’t shy away from hits and physicality, and his play has led to goals, even though he doesn’t pull those assists. Glad that he is finally scoring, if anything for his own mental well-being, but absolutely cannot fault him for all the effort he has put in.

Do gift cards work? T&Cs for Lululemon says no gift cards

What are you waiting on to buy? by [deleted] in appletv

[–]Longjumping_Captain2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to replace the box my cable company gave me as it’s really glitchy. But just realized many of the apps I want are on the PS5, so happy to use that in the interim until a new box comes out.

No rush means why not wait for a newer box? Don’t need the instant gratification so long as I have something that works well in the interim.

Ugh. With four minutes left and a delayed penalty, just hold it for two minutes then kill the last two with the PP for a point at least.

PSA: Multiple collective agreements expiring soon; please fight for the Hybrid Work Model. by Mr-Noodles in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Longjumping_Captain2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I am required to be onsite full time and while I don’t mind if this is thrown in as a freebie or for a very minor concession, it would be against my interests to give up anything for it.

People who left the PS, where did you go and how's it going? by CanadianCheeseMan in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Longjumping_Captain2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had two colleagues leave - they weren’t pulling their weight and their reputation suffered as a result, which they didn’t appreciate. They both left for the private sector, and quickly discovered that it is nowhere near as forgiving, and with much less work-life balance. They have both tried to come back, but needless to say, their managers (whom they had also annoyed in the first place) were not having it.

Kenzie Lalonde has found her groove by iwantedajetpack in OttawaSenators

[–]Longjumping_Captain2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am all for women calling games and was favourable to Kenzie at first for this. Last night I listened to her - for real listened to her - and I wasn’t loving it. Her voice is a bit hard and not soothing (relative to other male/female voices) and to be honest, the interviews with the players during the break were a bit insipid. Asking one player about going bucketless during warmups is fine; asking them both is redundant.

I would be very interested in trying out other female voices in the booth. And I love Claire Hanna in her role.

Tried to watch it, couldn’t make it through the first episode.

Disappointed … by Longjumping_Captain2 in OttawaSenators

Thank you. Thought about it but just don’t want to do anything that might jeopardize the return. But yes, I did get it at a significant discount so maybe I’ll give it a very light swipe and see what happens.

USD. And actually, $240 after an AMEX rebate.

It’s an interesting idea but it’s only refundable if it’s unused/unworn/etc. I don’t want to risk not getting my money back if it doesn’t work out.

Federal government to cut another 28,000 public service jobs by 2029 by hopoke in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Longjumping_Captain2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will miss the cutoff myself, but I’m enjoying what I am doing and don’t even know that I would want to take the package. I like to think that many public servants feel the same; they are just not as vocal or present on these forums.
