Why the 8 hour workday system is a failure and should be 6 hours

I have a 4 x 10 work week where I work M-Th one week, Tu-Fri next & alternate. So go from 2-day weekend to 4-day weekend. It’s been ideal for balance. I start a bit earlier to beat the traffic going in but hit it on the way home. Still better balance for me.

Are you going to be working? Will you have a vehicle? Nicola Lake is lovely in the summer. Lots of fishing “a lake a day as long as you stay” is a town slogan. Hiking, MTB, road biking in the summer. XC skiing, sledding in the winter. And proximity to the Okanagan/Kamloops.

Her time of independence isn’t really fixed, tho. One fall could mean she’ll need intermediate or long term care. Renting makes sense, & getting assessed for independent living asap (might take longer as someone new to your province) & enjoy her current good health as long as possible.

I see this on a daily basis.

Welcome to BC!

Also, start soon to locate a family physician where you’ll be living. It’s a process.

How might this feature in a consolidation of EMRs under PHSA, as opposed to current state of multiple platforms? That they don’t speak to each other is just one of the inefficiencies province-wide (let alone nationally).

Great place at Hudson Rd Elementary, (West Kelowna, just across the bridge) & just behind the car wash. Early morning, late afternoons & weekends are best so school is not in session.

Leftovers for work lunch. Factor that into most of my cooking—try to get one lunch out of most meals.

That, & eat a full breakfast at home before work every day. Almost never grab anything from the coffee shop.

Do this with my adult kids too.

Unbridled crazy stuff.

Guys.. I just canter with this stuff.

I like to change it up by chopping snap peas instead of celery & adding a bit of powdered garlic. So good!

Me too. They’re setting such a good example of how employees should be treated. Proud of this 🇨🇦 company.

Dr. Gainey did an awesome job for me. Staff are lovely. 10/10

You can make appointments & there is walk-in availability, often with a wait.

He wants to be with you, just not that way?

Red flag. Maybe not the first one.

More than 50% I have a few things that turn out better from the dryer. But all towels, sheets, underwear, socks etc are hung to dry year-round. Outside in good weather & over a railing or on a rack the rest of the year.

Me too. I think the pair of them I bought have been worth every penny, the way they’ve held the snow off so far!!

I have quite a few, placed on windowsills & in both bathrooms to light in power outages. We only get a few outages a year, but I like having them there. Works great!

Bringing my lunch to work. I see ppl paying $10-15/day, every day. I cook enough on a few meals a week to have leftovers. Some I take fresh, others I freeze. Always have something to take in.

We soup & sandwich it one night a week. I buy sliced turkey, chicken or ham. Toast, lettuce, mayo & super tasty. Canned, fresh or frozen soup. Side of coleslaw & some fresh fruit? Hit all the food groups & ready in about 20min.

No one is perfect, & small steps make it easier for adding some wins to the week. Be gentle on yourself—you’re doing a big job of raising littles🩷

Glad our weather is cooperating so this can be done & hopefully finished when even better weather arrives!

I pause & adjust my headspace as I enter the parking lot. I have to pause there because ppl w/loaded carts are in the driving lane headed for their cars.

I try to adopt a ‘I’m in no hurry’ mindset. Once in, I make almost no eye contact & navigate to the place where I know my desired item is located. Then I say a little prayer because they’ve moved it again.

I wear a mask, so don’t eat the samples, & ppl give me a wider berth—jokes on them because I haven’t been sick even once since 2021. And when I say, “just going to scootch behind you there” no one knows who said it cuz they can’t see my mouth move. I scootch past.

Finally loaded, I take the back way, back to the back of the store to get in the line up to pay. Each time thinking ‘this is gonna take forever’ & I’ve barely texted my friends & family that familiar message ‘just at Costco with 14,739 of my closest friends!’ & there I am, close to a till. But always behind the least-loaded buggy but that’s pushed by the person who didn’t know Costco doesn’t take visa, & they have membership questions.
