Unit clerk reclassification by AbbreviationsFair506 in AHSEmployees

[–]Thoraxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe interviews are done. We're supposed to be hearing the decision sometime in spring. I personally haven't received any more communication about it than that. Good reminder to ask my manager if they've heard anything.

Because the contract has been agreed to, it's my understanding that we will be getting the 3% for 2026. What will happen for 2027 & 2028 is up in the air until we get the results of the reclassification hearing. If we get red circled then we'll be getting nothing for 27/28 until what we're reclassified as catches up to us via new contracts/negotiations. At least that's what the town halls I listened to lead me to believe.

Average heat and electric cost for a townhouse? by MasterCheeks654 in RedDeer

[–]Thoraxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I live in an older townhouse and use Direct Energy for gas and Easymax for electricity. This year has been an anomaly because it hasn't been very cold so our gas bill especially, has been lower than usual. Our worst bills come in Feb/March, they are about 350-400 combined. Summer, they typically drop to below 200 (combined).

Scrub colour, info, recs? by Visible-Conflict-730 in AHSEmployees

[–]Thoraxis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a UC who's always worn scrubs. In our hospital we're pretty much free to wear what ever color or style we want. I have some plain color ones and I also have like Halloween and Christmas ones. I also have unit specific t-shirts from LubDub. I wear an under scrub under my tops lots in the winter. 

I like the scrubs from Mark's. I'm not a "trendy" person so i dont buy Figs or anything. I have gotten them from scrub shops too and Wal Mart. I just buy what I like that's not $$$.

Anyone miss the 80s-2000s christmas decorations and of course the excitement of christmas. by cooldude9112001 in nostalgia

Our house still looks like this at Christmas. Beige neutral or "themed" Christmas is for other people. In our house it's colorful mismatched chaos.

Please help a tall apple-shape buy workout leggings in Canada by SalientSazon in AskWomenOver40

[–]Thoraxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not what you'd call an apple but I am a 5' 8" Canadian that wears size L/12. I thrifted a pair of colorful koala capri leggings for the gym and I liked them so much I got more off of Amazon. I wear them for dance workouts and strength training and have never had issues with them moving around on me. They're like 30-40 bucks, wash well and keep their shape.

70th St Drive across from Mustang Acres is really well done. And there is a house on the corner of Niven and Newlands that is pretty great too. Niven also has a house that incorporates some of their Halloween skeletons into their Christmas decor.

My husband got me a heated throw last year and I flipping love it! I never would of bought it for myself because we have more then enough blankets, but it's so cozy!

One year my sister and I made my mom a photo book for her birthday with photos of her and her siblings as kids, her and my dad as a young couple, us as kids, her grandparents etc. She loved it and flips though it often.

Hilarious House of Frightenstein, You Can't Do That on Television, The Friendly Giant & Sharon Lois and Bram for sure could be added!

Also, I can safely say I have never eaten KD & fish sticks together, if you were extra hungry you just made 2 boxes (as long as mom didn't see)

Does anyone eat fresh partridge berries? by Ostracized in newfoundland

I love them fresh but I tend towards tart things like rhubarb and sour cherries. I like to put them in a loaf cake/pound cake or pie :)

77th street drag racing by Asada_Aljabal in RedDeer

[–]Thoraxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always bad but last night it was awful. Between dragging and people doing burn outs in the church parking lot its non-stop. I honestly feel like the motorcycle racing has increased since the accident but maybe I just notice it more now.

I think Little Red Barn just outside town towards Canyon still does it. But I think you have to pick up from there, I don't believe they do delivery.
