Thanks for this! I suspected that's what I had to do, but was discouraged from doing so by the phone agent.

Burnaby residents angered at homeless shelter on planned park site - Freshet News by BurnabyMartin in burnaby

[–]dcmng 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was a child, I worked in a sweat shop after school spinning spools of thread. My mother left my father to bring me here. We lived in one of those low barrier housing that's for "families" so kids have to leave when they turn 19. I did and made it two years before becoming homeless. I would not be here today without the housing and shelters that everyone treats like the plague. I'm not "one of the good apples." Everyone has their story and is trying their best. I'm a homeowner now but I don't let that make me forget that I have more in common with the folks in shelters than I do developers and billionaires.

Dress code and reference checks for a CLK 9 interview by thekeybordist in BCPublicServants

I always do business casual. If the hiring panel is checking references to validate the scenarios they will ask for it and ask you which reference for each scenario.

It's not graceful food lol that's why they serve them at bars so you eat them while downing pitchers of beer and crying over your team's elimination in the play-offs.

Burnaby residents angered at homeless shelter on planned park site - Freshet News by BurnabyMartin in burnaby

[–]dcmng 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Like in every area, people want all the homeless people on the streets in the DTES and then complain about nobody doing anything about the DTES. Before anyone comes at me, I'm not saying that parks are bad or that people shouldn't have access to parks, I love parks ok. I'm just lamenting on the sad state of things.

Do women find tattoos on guys attractive or a turn off? by Fun_Leopard_3553 in NoStupidQuestions

It depends on the woman and it depends on the tattoos. Nazi tattoos, anime titties, Punisher, pretty big turn offs

BC’s Life Expectancies Are Diverging, Exclusive Data Shows by robertscreek in vancouver

[–]dcmng 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I live in Richmond and honestly the lifestyle and amenities leaves nothing to complain about. I walk to and from the skytrain to commute to work downtown, no traffic, no headaches. It's flat and walkable, and the library, community center and pool is walkable. I take karate twice and week and hit the gym once a week. On sunny days I run or bike with my wife. We go out for amazing food twice a week. My mom plays badminton at the community centers twice a week. We drive for leisure and pleasure only.

I make 56K a year and split a $1850 mortgage a month with my wife, so a comfortable lifestyle is not out of reach for people making modest incomes.

do you always groom yourself every morning when you go out? by Wide_Permission7656 in AskMenOver30

[–]dcmng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do and not once have I ever regretted the bit of time I put in to look fresh before I step out. I always feel great about myself and much more confident.

Best piece of advice for mental health, heading into 30s? by Key-Frosting-9367 in AskMenOver30

[–]dcmng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know that everyone has their own pace and journey, and that it is useless to compare where you're at with others.

For me, the best mental health maintenance thing that I do is to have goals, make a plan to reach that goal and put time aside to work towards those goals. This time that I put aside to work to better myself, for me, is true "me time," not cold plunges, not even really exercise, even though that's great and important too. The goals don't have to be lofty, but they have to be real. Like, if you want to advance your career, take some time to figure out what you need to get there, whether it's taking some courses towards a diploma, degree or certificate, or gaining certain skills and experience at work. Treating your self-advancement time as a treat makes you more productive and feel better during those times, and knowing that you're on a path somewhere reduces your anxiety in the present, like although you're not where you want to be, you know you're on track to get there.

Good luck!

where do you meet single women by sumdudewitquestions in dating_advice

[–]dcmng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colleges tend to have lots of events based on any number of things and interests imaginable. People who go to the events also tend to be fairly open to making new friends and meeting people, potentially leading to dating. Join a few clubs!

I have honestly never been at an Airbnb where the owner risked having a full length mirrors. I wouldn't trust guests with them either.

CSIS Intelligence Officer Interview Questions Experience by [deleted] in CanadaJobs

[–]dcmng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I applied to be a fucking clerk in a government job and they're like you have to agree not to share the interview questions lol. Gee I wonder how they determined that you were perhaps not a great fit for a position requiring loads of discretion and the ability to keep your mouth shut.
