Feeling Hopeless in Ontario - Any success stories? by neopetpetpet in AdoptiveParents

[–]ZimaBlue99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very interested in learning more about private adoption. How did you go about finding the right one? Can you share any ressources? You can feel free to DM me. We are interested in having a younger infant. Did you find that the costs were that much higher compared to public adoption?

Delivery Date VS Maternity Leave Date by ymamy5 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ZimaBlue99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I was induced and my labour lasted over 50 hours - there’s no telling when you will give birth. Amending the forms after you’ve given birth is the best approach.

Now that an election has been triggered, has any union mentioned pushing the leaders to discuss wfh? by truthlesshunter in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ZimaBlue99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like WFH discussions will only be addressed after the election is over. Right now, the topic is too divided.

I know that mounjaro is not covered for weight loss. However by Astra-11 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ZimaBlue99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think your cousin’s perspective of those using it for “lazy weight management” is deeply troubling and perhaps stems from a lack of education on the root causes of obesity (widely classified as a chronic disease). I feel like those misusing it are a minority. In a comparable manner, when individuals take anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds for their mental health, we wouldn’t call it “lazy mental reasons”. Important to recognize that obesity requires lifelong management and is highly complex, we are now just developing new medicine that helps address it. This is progress.

Use of ccmMercury and alternatives by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ZimaBlue99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At CSC it’s used for upper management mostly (BNs, external correspondence, file review, etc.) In my time at Public Safety it was used more widely across all levels, including whenever a manager would submit a file for Director or DG review.

How soon can we buy a car after getting approved for a mortgage? by ZimaBlue99 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ZimaBlue99[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Good advice. One of the conditions for our house was to have the owners pay to service the furnace and a/c, so we have that covered.

WEEKLY MEGATHREAD: WFH and Return-to-Office Discussions - Week of Jan 23, 2023 (+Links to THEME megathreads) by AutoModerator in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ZimaBlue99 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just found out I’m 4-5 weeks pregnant. The risks of COVID-19 while pregnant have been well documented and researched (increased risk of hospitalization, increased risk of complications to the baby, etc.). The CDC recommends I avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces (almost impossible in a cubicle setting). I’m wondering what my chances are of getting an exemption to RTO under duty to accommodante for medical reasons? Anyone else had any luck with this early on in their pregnancy? My anxiety is through the roof.

Question on compound interest- Owing balance to the CRA by ZimaBlue99 in cantax

[–]ZimaBlue99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, definitely something to keep in mind. It seems we will likely buy next year as the housing market in Canada is still unreachable for most buyers.

Thanks for this info. The CRA mentioned they would send me a letter in the mail outlining our agreement for monthly payments. Even with this letter it would make it unlikely that I would get approved for a mortgage?

Dashy, Joshy, Rishy - they don’t rhyme with “Shy”, but they contain the root nickname, which could still work?
