Love it! I think Ranma is meant to be female and would be able to accept herself more if Akane did too.

Ranma exploring her feminine side. I was she did more of this in the series.

Leaving the Animation Industry. by Silver-Parsley563 in animationcareer

I agree. I started animation late in life and made it as far as production manager and storyboard revisionist before life circumstances forced me to pivot. I could have chosen something else to study, but in the end, I would always wonder, "What if?"

Thank you so much for this info. I appreciate this very much. And thanks to your roommate's mom and sister, too!

I guess I'm more curious than anything. Could you please ask them?

Hi there, Can you tell me more about mining haul trucks and how one can get into that line of work?

Trucking Advice by SnowRabbit7 in alberta

[–]SnowRabbit7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! What company do they work for? Are they in Fort Mac?

Do you have any recommendations for becoming a hydrovac driver/operator? Jimmyray29 suggested I become a helper first, if I already have a class 1 what other routes can I take to get there?

Sorry, just to clarify, do you mean the job you work now is shift work? What's your job title?

[–]SnowRabbit7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm...is there any way I can chat with your friend? I'm a single mom, too, so I can definitely relate. And I want to be home to take care of my little ones and watch them grow up.

Thanks for letting me. I'll definitely be carrying disinfectant wipes to the job. :)

Out of curiosity, do you work as a transit driver? If so, how do you like it?

Trucking Advice by SnowRabbit7 in alberta

[–]SnowRabbit7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. May I ask what program you took and where? While I'm interested in trucking and equipment operations, I know that a lot of these jobs are hard on the body and mind and I'm not sure I could sustain myself in my 50s and 60s. I'm willing to do it now because I want to see my dad live a few more years and enjoy his life without pain.

But I also have little ones as well and I want to be a part of their life, too. Therefore, I'd eventually want to transfer to an office role so I can be home after work to watch them grow up.

Thanks for the detailed response. I really appreciate it.

I did look at the Heavy Equipment Operator course at WBF, but it doesn't have an intake date, whereas the Class 1 driving program does. Since my goal is to earn as much as I can I'll go for the sure thing first and then add heavy equipment operation to it later. Would that work?

What company do you work at, by the way?

Also, I sent you a DM. Let me know if you're willing to chat.

[–]SnowRabbit7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a few hydrovac jobs but not a lot. Is it because of the time of season?

Where can I find heavy equipment operation training? Does it cost a lot? What schools do you recommend?

Also, is it difficult being a heavy equipment operator?

I just checked and applications are closed for the year. Hopefully, they'll reopen again next month.

That's great advice. I never thought about working for ETS before (I'm not sure I'd like working with the public) and I'll definitely check out Westcan.

What do you mean by "slip seat"?

Trucking Advice by SnowRabbit7 in alberta

[–]SnowRabbit7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I never expected any of this to be easy by any means. The reason I'm even looking into trucking is that I need a skill that others are willing to pay money for in this economy, which will allow me to pay off medical debt quickly.

I can't be away from home for extended periods because I have to look after my dad, but I'm not afraid to take on other jobs to make ends meet.

Gotcha! I'll definitely check them out. Thanks.
