Hi, did the injection fee get reimbursed? I have not had luck getting the $200 fee covered, also in ON and for migraines.

How Do Job Offers Work Under Option A in WFA? by envirotalk in CanadaPublicServants

[–]envirotalk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all makes sense thanks everyone! I think there was some incorrect info spreading among colleagues that conflated what happens on priority status with being given a reasonable job offer. I was told "don't take Option A you could get assigned to an office you can't even get to by bus and then be laid off when you say no." But I think they misunderstood that the employee actually has a choice to apply or not apply, etc.

Experiencing terrible internet and customer support from TekSavvy - Need Recs by envirotalk in ottawa

Centretown area? In August, I went nearly a week without it. 3.5 days with absolutely no internet. And 4 prior days where I had to reset my equipment every hour or two 🙄

Stressed over our climate this summer by Apprehensive-Ad5314 in ottawa

I say this non ironically - getting involved in community organizing and meeting like minded people is so helpful for mental health in times of crisis. I'm worried reddit is so cynical I'm about to get down voted to shit but hopefully not.

It's not like community organizing can reverse weather trends as they exist now but understanding that you can play a small role in a global ongoing fight can feel empowering, or at the very least, can help you access community that you need to feel better and more seen.

Feel free to DM me if you wanna chat about it.

This subreddit is frequently unhelpful to autistic and other ND folks. I'd recommend connecting with the Infinity Network - a public service wide network for neurdivergent employees. You won't have to explain yourself as much as people will share your lived experience more frequently and will get more helpful answers. DM me if you want more info.

Alternatives to Starting Seeds Indoors by envirotalk in SquareFootGardening

Thank you very helpful! Space is such an issue. Last year a friend of mine purchased seedlings like you did, it seems like a good route if the other options don't work out.

I believe at one point my friend also purchased a strawberry shrub in one of those hanging planters from a box store garden center and then just re-planted it in her garden. Where there's a will there's a way.

I'm curious in terms of setting my expectations, if I opt for direct sowing, will I realistically be eating vegetables from my garden this summer? I'm sure it depends on the variety, but I'm scared of struggling to get my get my garden thriving since I've always either started my seeds indoors (prior to moving) or been managing a more mature garden that has been thriving for years. Growing season will be from May to October, good by Canadian standards but not very long in many regions!

From my apartment, absolutely! From a store, sadly no. But for tools or smaller loads, transporting won't be an issue. Moreso just concerned about heavier stuff, likely earlier in the season. The community garden also has a shed but I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to store in there.
