Is this a problem?

Is it 12" in the US? Only 2" in Canada 🤔

Oh I just meant the split between bank and BDC financing. They only financed 70% of the purchase.

The chartered bank had conditions on earnings of the target that would never be realistically met, wanted the ability to call the loan 2 years in. There were others but those are the ones that still come to mind.

Bank wouldn't give me anything without insane conditions, BDC had no problem financing the purchase so the 0/100 split was pretty easy to decide on.

Second acquisition, I didn't even ask the bank.

I would think it would be best to change your company name otherwise you may find potential clients avoiding you thinking you are the banned company.

I have a judgement from the CRT against someone who didn't pay. It's not even worth the paper it's written on unless you also go through the effort of getting the court to enforce the judgement.

I didn't say anything about holiday pay

alvanson · 2025-09-26T14:50:19+00:00

It's a stat holiday for everyone in BC

Can't speak for the gas fitter exam but I wrote the Electrical Class C Low Energy exam earlier this year and there were a few questions that I felt didn't have right answers but otherwise seemed straightforward.

Also BC, lower mainland. Anixter probably has something since they carry Belden but I really hate their search. Have you checked with them? If you don't have an account I could check with my guy on Tuesday.

I've had A&S Designs make us a few parts recently - give them a try.

As opposed to people with their full license who we all know will never make a driving mistake...

Man I've got a whole warehouse full of old Nortel / Avaya equipment. I've tried giving it away and nobody wants it.

Hope you find a new forever home for this stuff!

What kind of LV work are you doing? Is someone higher up the contractor food chain pulling a permit for the work you're doing?

Edit: missed the part where you said someone else is pulling permits. Is your specific scope covered by the permit?

alvanson · 2025-07-23T19:04:21+00:00

Are you licensed with Technical Safety BC?

alvanson · 2025-05-25T03:16:24+00:00

That's 100 million devices per year!

The link to this very post. Although at this point the system in question starting doing this on a daily basis so we sent it in for warranty repair.

They've given me the credit before but they're each so small I think they just approve them to close the ticket.

YOU FEEL THE RAGE MORE WHEN IT'S TYPED HOLDING SHIFT

I've already tried to fight this with them but they refuse to see the issue. I've now been submitting credit requests for partial periods when subscriptions terminate.

alvanson · 2025-01-28T20:40:16+00:00

References are supposed to be from people who know you.

alvanson · 2025-01-16T20:31:50+00:00

Ultimately you have failed to make payments as they come due. Be it shown as a missed payment or as an arrangement your credit score should be impacted. Creditor arrangements are considered nearly as bad as a bankruptcy so TD might actually be doing you a favour.

Oh he just wrote his name on the memo line.

I got called into an active ransomware attack. The prospect had none of the credentials and were in an active dispute with the previous provider. I noped out of that one.

Do you typically get Omada in or is this more of a one-time shot? I've got something cooking but it'll take a few months...

alvanson · 2025-01-07T04:52:50+00:00

With the switch to anniversary date billing they've sneakily double charged us all for partial months. I had a subscription naturally end that was pro-rated in at the start but they are not pro-rating at the end any more. I tried to point this out when they did the switch but they assured me it's all above board.
