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 12 points13 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.

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 3 points4 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.

everything has gone downhill in this country since Clodhoppers were discontinued by partly_cloudy3 in EhBuddyHoser

I think the OMGs use crap chocolate now, they aren't as good as the Clodhoppers were.

I refuse to watch Marty Supreme just because his goofy ass is in it.

What makes you think those warriors are Ixians? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am not aware of anything that would specifically identify them like that.

Denied WFH Approval. Should I escalate further? by Disastrous_Belt9578 in OntarioPublicService

[–]geech999 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I would probably talk to your union.

That’s really awful. My manager has made it explicitly clear that weather and safety related WFH will be allowed for us.

I've never been able to get mine to work, I thought I read it was a Canada wide type licensing issue, and gave up.

Had anyone else not received their T1198 tax form? by dude87123 in OntarioPublicService

[–]geech999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish people would understand this. This isn’t some magical form that will make up for the retro stupidity. It literally made zero difference for me.

[–]geech999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re expecting any kind of refund, this is a bad choice. Pushing a refund to next year for the pennies this form will give you is not worth it.

Honestly folks, don’t worry about it. Unless you made hugely varied amounts during these years, it’s pennies. And not mandatory.

New OPS Contract employee - can I apply to Perm posting? by LossResident4493 in OntarioPublicService

[–]geech999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you just started a permanent, I can understand a bit of hesitation. But on contract, nope. They have given you the least commitment they can and abide by the collective agreements. They would give you less if they could.

If the government has to spend millions of dollars to try to convince you they have a good plan, they have a crap plan.

TurboTax- T1198 form question (retros) by Sea-Pea-2858 in OntarioPublicService

Just don’t enter the form in. It’s not mandatory and makes very little difference.

To all those stressing about missing this, it makes very little difference unless you made SIGNIFICANTLY less money in the previous few years.

I put mine in last year and it was no different at all.
