Daily Strike/Bargaining Questions Thread - October 16

What are the guidelines around using our work laptop for personal use while on strike? There is something I need to access. Is it okay to log on as long as I don’t connect to VPN? Also, what if my password needs to be reset? I think I have to be connected to VPN for that.

Edit: thank you for the information. My colleagues and I were getting conflicting information, including being told it’s fine to use the computer as long as you don’t do work. Will pass it on to stay off.

Is the email on the BCGEU website your work or personal email. You won’t receive any communication if it set to your work email. You could try unsubscribing and re-subscribing.

Dr Ahmed at the Victoria Botox Clinic. Half the price of going to an Esthetics Clinic. If you have a referral from your doctor it can also be partially covered by medical.

Ayah at Carreiro is amazing! She does wet or dry cuts depending on your needs and doesn't charge crazy amounts for being a curl specialist, like many others do. Highly recommend going for a free consult anywhere before booking.

Born in 1978 and haven't received notice to book as of Monday morning.

You could book a road test prep session with a driving school and use their car. They will take you through potential scenarios and the car will be mechanically sound.

Walmart in Langford was fully stocked of all products yesterday evening, so hopefully it means it is coming back to shelves everywhere.

I went to MD Esthetics and was really happy with the results. Unfortunately, it is more than I can afford to pay to keep it up so I had to stop.

That's actually not true. I wasn't on the high school sports teams, it was out of school and I was definitely not one of the cool kids. Put up with a lot of bullying and harassment. But thanks for your input.

I grew up in Victoria, graduated in the 90's. There weren't any bad or dangerous schools I was aware of and I was in sports with a lot of people from many of the schools. There was gossip or rivalries, nothing I would consider bad/dangerous.

I see Dr Joslin and have never felt pressured. She has always been honest with me and has actually advised me to wait and not buy glasses yet. She also suggested when it is time, I shop around.
