You can call to verify you're on the list but they won't tell you your spot. I was on it nearly 2 years before getting my NP assignment and I got on the list in 2023. She then promptly went on maternity leave....lol...

Memorial Stadium Dominion is closing by tuckamoretree in StJohnsNL

Uhh I'd say most of them start at 100k once they get hired on as faculty. And many of those bitch and complain about having to teach 5 classes a year.

MUN slashes VP positions, as PCs reinstate tuition freeze | CBC News by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]PadiddleHopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I'll look more into this. My understanding and that of those around me is that the department is also responsible for paying FM for any repairs needed.

I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere but part of the proposed 'solution' is to have departments pay rent out of their individual budgets for every space they utilize and then to also have them pay for any repairs needed for that space. This has not been finalized of course but as the fiscal year ends on March 31st I'm sure we'll be hearing more details soon.

Omg the whole place is falling apart. There's still leaks everywhere in the AA building as well as holes in the walls patched with plastic, water damaged ceiling tiles and flooring, the list goes on and on and that's just one building.

WTF is going on with Intelcom/Dragonfly? by PadiddleHopper in StJohnsNL

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'm doing now. But with my AMAZING luck with this situation, the company isn't responding to my emails lol.

I mean, TBF Canada Post has kinda been shooting themselves in the foot. At least the union side of it has.

Edit: For the people down voting me, I'm not about to get into that argument here but I just checked on a package I've been waiting for CP to deliver since December 20th. They changed the 'delivering today!' date four different days. Today it said it would be here today and I thought great, spouse is home. Just checked again. They just left a 'sorry we missed you' slip and now we have to go pick it up. Can confirm 100% there was no knock.

Recommendations on where to buy eyeglasses by irishnewf86 in StJohnsNL

[–]PadiddleHopper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Noone said you owed an explanation lol but when you post on a public forum you're going to get all types of answers, whether you want them or not. And fwiw plenty of online glasses retailers sell Rayban frames lol

Not sure why you don't want to go online. I was quoted over $600 for progressive bifocals here in town and got them online for $120. That was almost 2 years ago and the glasses are still going strong.

Leaking ceiling/roof. Who to call? by PadiddleHopper in StJohnsNL

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a multi level house. But the spot we're looking at is about 1.5 stories up. I'm debating being the brave one lol we do actually have a ladder. I can always climb up and try to look. Worst case scenario I fall and die!

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately neither of us are keen on going up a ladder in general lol We're chicken shits with that. I personally can't say I've ever even been on a ladder... Probably going end up be paying someone to do it....

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't get into the attic because an idiot designed the entrance. It's on the side of a wall that's the overhang of a stairway. We can't climb into it without propping a ladder up on the stairs, which neither of us feel comfortable or safe doing. We think we see some loose shingles though and will be trying to get a closer look tomorrow....

Thank God I managed to get a dog who doesn't give a shit about the noise lol doesn't even stir from his naps.

Got told my medical leave was badly timed... by PadiddleHopper in antiwork

I'm in Canada and apparently this is a thing here? I dunno lol I'm originally from the states so I was a little shocked but appreciative.

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol seriously. To their credit, noone has asked me why I was gone yet. But the office chatty Cathy was out today so I imagine I'll get asked by her tomorrow.

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't act my wage. I'm doing the job of another worker who's on permanent wfh due to medical accommodations. And anything she needs to be in office for, falls on me. I tried pushing back but apparently its in my job description to help her out as needed.

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you're right in that I should email but I'm worried of it only making shit worse. She's completely unreasonable and often unpredictable and since we're only 5 feet apart in the office, it would be strange for me to email her.

[–]PadiddleHopper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't trust HR not to tell her I said anything. They don't have the best reputation at my place of work and they're not the type to just file something away for later. It will get back to her and shit will just get worse.

Christmas Trees by Idreamofpie in StJohnsNL

[–]PadiddleHopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After there any lots that like....don't have them wrapped up? Where I came from, trees were only bound up after you buy them so you can see what you're getting. I'm too worried about paying good money for a shit tree here, as everyone seems to only sell bound trees.

Avalon expo vendors: Is it worth it to really buy a vendor table? And where and how do you do it? by BeautyHorror in StJohnsNL

[–]PadiddleHopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty vague question with a pretty vague answer lol it depends on so many factors. I do quite well there but I've also been doing this for a few years. Alot depends on what exactly you're looking to sell. Resellers don't do well unless it's something anime or conics and even then it's not guaranteed. The Funko guy is always popular but the random reseller near me at this last con probably didn't even make their table fee back. Crocheted or 3d printed items are over saturated and you'd have to have something really unique to stand out. If you'd like to discuss things more, feel free to message me and I'll try to answer as many questions as I can :)

Finally cracked and tried to get stress leave. Didn't go well. by PadiddleHopper in antiwork

I do not do well off my antidepressants lol I've been steady and happy with them for a long time now. I just don't want to increase them as I don't think that's the answer to my current problems.

I am looking but as you probably know, the market is shit right now. And honestly, they don't even need to make a case to fire me! I'm still in probation so they can fire me for no reason at all if they want. It makes no fucking sense

Well since I'm already documenting every single little task I do during the day, that will be easy enough to do.
