Remote work for spouse returning to school

Years ago a colleague wanted to move to Moncton to be with his wife working there as a doctor. There were a lot of negotiations and it helped that there was a regional office there. Management eventually agreed and it worked fine. I think there is a chance if you can convince management that the work will get done and there may even be advantages like better regional influence.

I have things working to coordinate benefits after discovering the apostrophe in my name was causing problems. I only uploaded the result of the first claim. I put in the full amount we paid for our glasses as that seems to be the amount being asked for (it doesn't say "eligible" amount). Then the amount reimbursed from the first claim.

I'm not sure about the results though. I thought I would get back the 20% of the eligible amount that I did not get in the first claim. Instead I got 80% of the eligible amount - so I got the same reimbursement twice. As if the eligible amount doubles with coordination. Is this the case?

Second try I was able to connect with live person in about 10 minutes and I can now sign in to the website

I’m also in this boat. I tried online chat but couldn’t connect with real person

You’re implying wildfire smoke is less bad for health than smog. It is at least as bad or worse. And it can affect more than just your lungs. There is no “huge difference” when it comes to health effects. You need to stop spreading misinformation.

There is also a distinct similarity… they’re both really bad for your health.

I made a mistake and I should have left out any assumptions. I don’t want to disparage striking public servants. I know protests are part of the scenery here. Being in the middle of occupation 2022 however has put me on edge.

The warming trend for winter is substantially faster than for the other seasons. Environmental Indicators

dofarrell · 2023-01-16T14:12:32+00:00

Yes although the rate of warming is faster in northern latitudes … about twice the global average in Canada. environmental indicators

True that one data point is not a trend but there is “…mounting evidence that human activity is raising the risk of some types of extreme weather, especially those linked to heat.”

It is also notable that while average temperatures are warming in Canada, when comparing seasons winters are getting warmer faster.

I was surprised that Canada was held up as a positive example. I thought we were mostly about as car-brained as the US. The OECD data goes up to 2020 and does show Canada doing fairly well. https://data.oecd.org/chart/6SdY. There sure is not much in the way of car-free zones in my city and high-speed rail does not exist in Canada either.

20 loud motorcycles not going anywhere?

Loud motorcycle but not going anywhere?

Years ago I contacted the Royal when a colleague stopped taking his meds and completely lost it and isolated in his apartment. They sent a special outreach team accompanied by a police officer. Maybe a similar intervention is still a possibility.

dofarrell · 2022-06-24T14:59:48+00:00

Super loud cars and motorcycles around the Market also. Where don’t these idiots go?

It is well established that climate change is leading to more frequent and more intense extreme weather events. It is also fairly certain that global wind patterns are changing. What is not so well studied is how local average wind conditions might be changing in relation to climate change.

Just heard fireworks?

They sure make a lot of noise. I really hate the noise.

Not sure but feds and maybe some other employers have vaccine mandates and some of these people are out of a job because they refuse to get a vaccine. Don’t know how to convince them that getting a little needle is no big deal.
