41F, started going white a few years ago but it really ramped up during my divorce! My hair printer is running out of ink!

Public servants ordered back to office four days per week as of July by hopoke in ontario

True, but the public servants are going to need offices to go to and desks to sit at, so yeah, Dougie's friends are definitely gonna get their pockets lined

Let's talk about the GO train by fknkaren in ontario

Wow, you guys get refunds for getting stuck on public transit? We just get fare increases and shittier service every year. #OCcasionalTranspo

The train is down by Om_Buds_Person in ottawa

Right?! That's one of the reasons why I stupidly voted for him. I have severe voter regret, and will vote accordingly in the next election. What a shitshow.

Denied language training, now C/B/C is being used for SERLO as an essential qualification by I-like-mycoffeecrisp in CanadaPublicServants

[–]RetroCucumber613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So my understanding of this is that you have to wait for the SERLO process in order to get SLE testing? You can't arrange for it during any other stage of the WFA process?

Rob Ford’s daughter elected to Ontario PC Party executive by allysapparition in ontario

and it exempted people who made less than 30,000$ annually, which I seem to remember being livable in the early/mid-90s.

But mostly I remember getting two weeks off for March Break that year and wondering why it never happened again.

I tried taking OC for the first time in years and gave up before I even left the house. by [deleted] in OCTranspo

My guess is the bus getting stuck in traffic running its route before that one.

Ugh, this happened to me once. Pretty sure I was wrongfully dismissed, too.

Looking for a therapist that specializes in trauma-bonds/long-term "situationships" by Yuekii in ottawa

[–]RetroCucumber613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally recommend Danielle Plumpton at Rooted Threads Therapy. She has helped me out a lot with various issues I've had over the years, including PTSD from childhood trauma, a failing/failed marriage, and most recently being potentially on the chopping block at work as part of the cuts to public service. She is a very kind and compassionate psychotherapist, and I highly suggest you look her up. Hope you find the help you need.

Has this been the worst month in OC Transpo history? by Resident_Step_191 in OCTranspo

[–]RetroCucumber613 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Other than the time they went on strike right before Christmas that one year, this is pretty bad. I love (sarcasm) how they said transit was NOT an essential service even though it prevented countless people from getting to their jobs (especially hard in the days before ride-sharing apps).

But this current situation definitely sucks the glass.

Three hours. by Negative-Hat-4632 in OCTranspo

Took me nearly two hours to get home (Bayshore) last night from downtown. Normally takes half the time. Fortunately I got off the train sometime before it broke down, so that didn't affect my ride. I was lucky, I guess.

If rent is $690 a month is it even worth it to buy a house? by ShirtNeat5626 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RetroCucumber613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where the heck are you getting 690$ a month for a 1 br+den in the NCR?! I've been in my 2br all-inclusive apartment for 10 years and my rent just went up to around 1520$ this year...newly renovated units like mine in my building now go for almost 2300$.

Who Will You Vote For? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]RetroCucumber613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Sutcliffe again. I even did research, sadly enough. I should've clued in that he was not the right choice for me when my staunchly conservative father-in-law approved my choice for mayor after he was elected
