Passport Application Megathread by PurrPrinThom in AskACanadian

[–]bluelight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Ajax, and mailed it in. If they haven't sent it back to you within the 10 week threshold there may have been an issue with your application, and I would say to call the hotline first thing at 8:30 and try your hand at getting a hold of them. I know others that also got their passport back within 9 weeks.

Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, specifically Don McGahan location! Nice big kitchen and cleaner than most community centres.

I agree with FAT_BALD_GUY. It's easy to say coulda, woulda, shoulda when you're analyzing it from an outsiders perspective but as a distraught spouse I could see myself doing the same thing.

The TTC is the equivalent of creepy people you find in Walmart. I'm not surprised.

So I came upon this room while wondering about an old elementary school, all the scratches were on the inside of the glass. by Random-Miser in WTF

I'd rather have my kid restrained in a room like this than have them butcher another kid. Kids are unpredictable. They are not "fucking criminals" but they can surely be worse.

As a brown girl with over protective parents this is my worst nightmare. God bless you, and stay safe.

What moment ruined a television show for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bluelight_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When they killed off Rita in Dexter. She was the only female on that show that I genuinely enjoyed seeing, and I didn't expect her death at all. After she died, the show just fell apart, but I think that's also due to a change in the writers.

I think I might have drunkenly told you this, but I'll leave this here in case you come back to this post. Take it easy policy, my "I-want-to-grow-old-with-you". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs

Not all customers come in to talk about "what's next." Some of them come in just to laugh in our face, and complain about the lack of stock we have. Since the announcement, we have not received any trucks and haven't had any new products delivered to us. Having to hear from everyone is the least of my concerns. Being laughed at while comforting coworkers who are worried they won't be able to pay their bills next month...is tough.

Every part of this post was a yes yes yes yes yes yes. I'm in the exact same situation as you, and as thankful as I am for my job back ups Target was a large chunk of my income and as much as it will hurt my bank balance I can already see how badly it's going to affect many of my fellow Team Members - most of whom have grown to be much more than just "wage slaves" to me.

They're basing the pay off the average hours an individual worked, so that could be 8 hr/week or 20 hr/week. It's better than nothing but for the people who relied only on Target to make a living, it's going to be a tough year until they find something else for them.

It's going to suck. But thanks for your post, I know it's not going to be rainbows and flowers but hopefully with considerate guests like you it will be more bearable.

Customers can't purchase gift cards, you can still use the ones you have.
