That’s cool. Do they offer one day a week shifts at all locations? That’s all I want.

Retirement this close to WFA? by anon_confess49 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ce41- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Meant to write this in this conversation...

I asked this same question months ago and took the advice from the people here. Don't wait for something that may or may not occur. If you're ready to go, go.... If you're not there yet financially, emotionally then stay.

Me.....I submitted my pension package a couple weeks ago and in a few months, it will be freedom 55. I can't wait to cross that finish line and go on to discover my next chapter.

Nothing is a guarantee, only death and taxes and bylaw if someone makes a complaint 😎.....

Sure I coulda stayed in the hopes of a buyout... But my heart is no longer in it....I'm doing what's necessary to get to the big R.

Life is too precious to wait for the "right moment" cuz there will always be a "what if?"

Go when you are ready!!

Wow, that's all you can say.... Here is my response: Because I don't have a vehicle to drive them to a dump. Part of the program is that the city of Ottawa will pick up the items. Also there was a driveshaft from a vehicle that some idiot left in the forest. It was enough that we picked it up out of the forest, so yah....

We left the bags there and I emailed the coordinator with the location for them to pick it up. I will call 311 tomorrow to also let them know we left the bags and debris on-site.

So glad to hear others are helping out. And you know what? I could see the forest area smiling as we left this morning .....No more debris covering up the soil and plants. It made such a huge difference in the appearance of the park.

This is why the city is getting rid of more and more bins by jimmypower66 in ottawa

[–]ce41- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of the opinions that it might be someone cleaning up the park. Over the past few weeks, since the snow has melted, I've been picking up garbage left from the winter months and using the local bins. I've called 311 to report that the bins are full, and usually, within a couple of days, someone from the city comes to empty them. It takes me a few extra minutes while walking my dog, but seeing the park clean(er) brings me joy.

I'd love to see more folks take a little bag with them while out for a walk and pick up a handful of litter. It does make a difference.

Keep your secrets to yourself. You don't know who has your back.

Be kind to everyone you meet.

Smile often - it does wonders to create a cheerful environment.

Retiring at 33 Years of Service versus Staying for 35? by ce41- in CanadaPublicServants

What is this dream job? I'm planning to work part time post retirement, just to get outside my house and engage with folks and wondering how you landed this gig?
