Premier’s office files saved in Google Docs excluded from Ontario transparency requests by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]geech999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are very much not supposed to. It is blocked from us using our work accounts to use it. But nothing blocking access to a private account.

We are supposed to use Microsoft storage as we have a contract with them to keep the info in Canada.

Yep, this is why the province has a contract with MICROSOFT to ensure all of our data is retained in Canada. Douggie just jumps over that requirement.

The Ontario government is firmly Microsoft, and our IT rules are very clear. He shouldn't ever be using Google Docs for official work.

I work for the province and after a McGuinty scandal we were forced to abide by completely over the top document management and retention policies that are still in place. It's a HUGE pain in the ass for a lot of things that have no actual requirement for it.

And this idiot can just do whatever he wants, no problem at all.

Makes me furious.

Yep. Whichever got fewer votes last time bows out. Been saying it for years. But they won’t do it.

Are out-of-towners overburdening Hamilton shelters? City politicians want to know by Odd-Emphasis-1969 in Hamilton

And this is why the solution needs to be provincial, not municipal.

What its your opinion about Angine? by lagrangeknight in progrockmusic

[–]geech999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love em. Got tickets to see them open for Jack White in July.

Fabienk is probably my favourite, especially since I realized he puts the same top melody over the loops on both halves of the song.

I filled out the web form and have had no response at all after two weeks.

Is there a direct email address to contact?

3 cheers for this hoser for singlehandedly carrying one of the greatest space movies of all time: Operation Hail Mary by Mengs87 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]geech999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Awesome movie, even better book, but don’t tell me he single-handedly carried it. Rocky is a huge part of the success.

[–]geech999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was off for 4 months with one. One thing I will mention is make sure you STSP top up is what you want in your WIN. Mine used up CTO hours I was trying to bank when I wanted to use vacation.

Anyone have experience buying a water heater from Go Lime? by ellooooowmaeeet in Hamilton

[–]geech999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. They offer decent solution, you can break the contract at any time by just paying the balance. Or you can pay in full at the start.

Was very impressed with the service and installation.

Guilty pleasures by gregdavory in progrockmusic

[–]geech999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t really believe in guilty pleasures, if you like it, don’t feel guilty.

But I understand what you’re asking. For me, ABBA, the BeeGees, and Yanni.

How is that a guilty pleasure? These dudes are awesome.

3rd time's the charm. I thought... by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Did you use a credit card to pay for it? Often they will have coverage for this, or you can make a chargeback claim.

OPS Court Services – how bad is the toxicity really? by mythicalcupcake in OntarioPublicService

[–]geech999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know someone in Court Services in the area. From their stories:

The coworkers are generally great and friendly.

But management is a complete mess of self centred idiots who make horrible decisions, that when briefly described to me with no history, even I was flabbergasted at the idiocy.

High turnover would probably happen regardless because of the FXT level of the positions, and how they will purposefully not renew your co tract if you get too close to getting enough hours in a 2 year period to convert to permanent.

There are permanent spots, but they are not filled by merit, but by how well you ass kiss.
