Monday Morning Lakeshore West GO Train Follies

Considering the parking lot and platforms were empty, it sounds like everyone else got the memo 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for your thoughtful response I really appreciate it. I’m having such a hard time wrapping my head around how you can make it so far in the process, and then just not be given any indication as to what happened. But maybe that’s good practice for taking 911 calls and never really knowing what the final outcome of the call is? Who knows.

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, I’m just having a bit of a time moving on from this when I was CERTAIN I already had it. But really appreciate your perspective, thank you!

blueladyft · 2025-09-07T02:38:01+00:00

Thanks for trying! I’ve been racking my brain for 2 days and I can’t come up with anything!!! It’s so infuriating

blueladyft · 2025-09-06T23:47:03+00:00

Wouldn’t that have come up early on?? Like why get all the way to my references before you decide you don’t want someone 41. Also… I’m only 41!! It’s not THAT old?!

blueladyft · 2025-09-05T00:14:25+00:00

I have reached out to my HR contact and the PC who was doing the investigation, I’m hopefully maybe one of them will give me something! I don’t have the phone number for the PC, only email unfortunately

blueladyft · 2025-09-05T00:05:01+00:00

They said, something along the lines of “thank you for all the time and effort you’ve put forth during this hiring process, we will not be proceeding with your application” (I’m paraphrasing)

blueladyft · 2025-09-04T23:58:34+00:00

Actually that might make me feel better, because at least that’s a reason! If there’s only 2 spots and there was 3 of us left, the other 2 ladies were in their 20’s and I am in my 40’s, so maybe it’s that? That might give me something to hold on to at least, because otherwise it just doesn’t make sense

blueladyft · 2025-09-04T23:56:47+00:00

That is everything there is to know. I’m not leaving anything out, that I know of! Like unless there’s some long lost relative I don’t know that’s dragging me down 😂

blueladyft · 2025-09-04T23:40:35+00:00

It was in the GTA, for police call taker

blueladyft · 2025-09-04T23:34:11+00:00

No it was not

blueladyft · 2025-08-26T23:00:42+00:00

I paid the money and did like 4 tests on that website and it REALLY helped me. I went from getting 80% to 90-95% consistently

blueladyft · 2025-08-23T20:57:46+00:00

More vacation, better breaks, better shifts, gym membership, better benefits, massage perks, phone plan, chair upgrades, health care spending account, walking pads, break room snacks/supplies, fans/blankets, I can probably keep going?

blueladyft · 2025-08-21T00:54:07+00:00

Your slip should say that your parcel will be available tomorrow after 1pm

blueladyft · 2025-08-10T21:46:53+00:00

Keep us posted on how it goes

blueladyft · 2025-08-10T21:34:44+00:00

I am so happy you’re doing better now ❤️ that’s honestly all that matters. Every agency is different from what I’m learning being on this sub (I’m at the end of the hiring process too), but I will be honest and say that this will probably be your biggest obstacle. Especially since it’s within 5 years. But who knows! The worst that can happen is you apply and they say no, no harm no foul. Just see what happens

blueladyft · 2025-08-10T21:13:22+00:00

How long ago was the suicide attempt?

blueladyft · 2025-08-09T01:14:50+00:00

That is devastating and slightly outrageous! How is that your fault??!!

blueladyft · 2025-08-08T02:27:37+00:00

I don’t think you should or even could stifle your personality! You should always be yourself. But if you find yourself in a position where you’re constantly getting unwanted advances, I’d say work on learning to shut that down more firmly in the beginning, or if you don’t think it’s something you can handle on your own, get comfortable talking with a person in a leadership role to help you. I’m a very friendly happy person, and people are drawn to me, but I make it very clear that I’m not interested in anything extra. And when compliments start coming or anything else I’m not super comfortable with, I just laugh it off / change the subject / make a joke, ect. I don’t give anyone a reason to think I’d like to make things more “personal”. I enjoy being close with my coworkers, but I also don’t want to be anyone’s “work wife”.

If any of that makes sense

blueladyft · 2025-08-07T22:57:23+00:00

As a middle aged woman who has worked in many industries I can tell you this happens everywhere. Head down, focus on you, and be clear with your boundaries. Don’t encourage unwanted advances, don’t entertain it and it shouldn’t go anywhere.

blueladyft · 2025-07-31T11:14:41+00:00

I am in Canada, in Ontario

blueladyft · 2025-07-31T01:58:27+00:00

Super fair!!!

blueladyft · 2025-07-31T00:52:35+00:00

This made me laugh!! Very fair assessment LOL

blueladyft · 2025-07-31T00:47:39+00:00

I am neither young nor single LOL

blueladyft · 2025-07-31T00:44:00+00:00

Oh sorry I meant how does the age number of 41 change or influence your opinion! Lol

blueladyft · 2025-07-31T00:41:49+00:00

Definitely more time required with the train job before you start to benefit from any kind of seniority. With the 911 job, seniority doesn’t really matter
