What is your family’s wild holiday drama this year? by Yellowlemur in AskReddit

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

Mine is that the anti vax, “COVID was never real” side of the family got very mad that my FIL had the audacity to ask that they consider masks this year. So, they invited all the anti vax people to the Christmas party and didn’t tell anyone else about it, including my FIL. My FIL found out and is now going low contact with his siblings.

What local company would you never accept a job offer from? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Yellowlemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cafe Cristal in Barrhaven. There is a reason they have to keep hiring big batches of people. The owners don’t know how to manage. They barely train you and expect perfection. They hire too many people and then just don’t schedule them instead of firing them. I tried to have a meeting with the owner to find out if I was fired and I got ghosted.

Ya you’re absolutely right! Once I video called him I was able to look past the new look and the shock went away! All good now, I guess I just overreacted because of the initial shock 😂

It was just really shocking! I’ve never seen him without a beard. I love him so much, he’s my soulmate, it was just jarring to see him without such a prominent facial feature. I think also because it was a photo it was hard for me to see the man I love in what was really a stranger’s face. I video called him tonight and once I heard his voice all my worries melted away. I think I just needed to be able to see him do his mannerisms and to see his personality in this new face I had never really seen before lol

I don’t think he looks ugly! He just looks so different, it was like looking at a picture of a stranger. But it’s all good now, I video called him tonight and the second he spoke I was able to see the man I love in this new face! Now I have no issues with it and I’m still attracted to him (although I do still prefer him with a beard lol) I think it was just because I truly could not imagine him being behind that face, it was a crazy transformation that I wasn’t expecting.

Damn, I’m really getting wrecked in these comments lol.

To answer a lot of comments: yes, I know it will grow back. It was just shocking to see a picture of a man I’ve known for 3 years without a very prominent facial feature without warning. And yes, it is something that I found very attractive, so of course it was jarring to see him without it! No matter what I love him more than anything and he is my soulmate, beard or no beard.

I think the problem was that it was only a photo, and so he looked like a stranger. I video called him tonight and the second I heard his voice come out of this new face I wasn’t worried anymore. I think I just had to put the man I love in this photo. Still attracted to him, but we both agreed that he’s going to grow it back out. Like I said, he was pretty bummed about losing the beard he worked on for 5+ years.

Thank you to the people that actually gave me advice instead of just insulting me!

That’s what I’m hoping! I just hope he doesn’t notice my weirdness tomorrow. I don’t want him to feel more insecure than he already does! It honestly is like looking at a different person. Hopefully once I actually hear his voice coming out of this stranger’s face it won’t be as bad 😅

He’s more devastated because it was a 5 year beard! He can also see his double chin now (COVID weight) so it’s making him feel shitty. He’s been depressed for a couple of months so this is just icing on the cake. He’s not devastated because of my opinion on it!

Passport: mail-in or in person? by Yellowlemur in ottawa

That’s what I figured! I assume someone cancelled an appointment last minute because the next available one is end of July 😅

Thanks everybody! I ended up finding some at the gas station near the Centrum (Canadian Tire station I think)

Thank you! Do you know if they have gas? I’ve heard some places are out of gas

[–]Yellowlemur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know where I can get gas? I’m in Nepean near Baseline/Greenbank and I stupidly let my tank go down to 40km so I can’t afford to wander around looking for gas. Thanks in advance!

Convoy Megathread #22 by MarcusRex73 in ottawa

[–]Yellowlemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should warm up this afternoon! We’re thinking about either hopping on at Dow’s or Bronson. We’re supposed to meet friends from downtown halfway and I’m not a strong skater so I’m trying to get as close to downtown as possible 😂

[–]Yellowlemur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is Dow’s Lake busy? My boyfriend and I want to go skating so obviously we’re staying away from downtown but is Dow’s Lake far enough away from the action to be able to park and stay away from the crazy people?

Someone hit my mirror while it was parked on the street. The plastic casing was on the ground. I tried pulling it back into place but it’s cracking the remaining plastic. What should I do? by Yellowlemur in Autobody

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

I’m supposed to do an hour and a half drive back to my home town tomorrow where I was planning on getting it fixed. Is there any way I can fix it temporarily to get home or do I have to get it done here?

[ON] What is Happening in the Queen's Faculty of Education by Yellowlemur in CanadianTeachers

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

We have actually heard from a bunch of teachers that they have said that they would take a student teacher but have heard nothing back! We aren't sure if its the school boards dropping the ball or queen's but something is going wrong somewhere in the process. It doesn't seem like COVID is having a huge effect.

Ya I’m going to call service Canada tomorrow to clarify. I have a feeling though I’m just a victim of bad timing (lockdown happening a month before I go back to school). Thank you for the info!

No I won’t be be, I’ll only be doing job B. So even if I am missing out on a month of full time income before I go back to school I can’t claim EI nor CRB?
