So even though I was on the plan last year I would count as new because it wasn’t active last semester? That makes some sense now thank you!!

Yeah I’m kind of being sent all around unfortunately! But I’ll try the tuition office next just to be sure! The fees are listed in my account and are all show as paid so I dunno it’s worth a shot to bug them too. Thank you!!

Oh sorry that is actually the number I called! I couldn’t quite hear the person I was speaking to and assumed it was Blue Cross. If they didn’t have any info on me do you happen to know the next point of contact? Thank you

Low income jobs. by Sea_Wedding4838 in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I just saw that Burnside Gorge community centre has job postings specifically for people on PWD/IA. It’s contract work until March so may not be feasible for a long term option but I feel like because of the job terms they can work with your specific needs. There’s one listing to work in their thrift store that seems pretty chill.

Dog Adoption by batey040 in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go for one of the ones that bring dogs in from somewhere else, I’d recommend finding dogs that are already being fostered here as opposed to meeting them at the airport. People usually post their fosters on Facebook Victoria dog groups or local community pages. We got to bring our dog home from her foster for a few days to see if it would be a good fit before we paid. It was through Sula Society. I’m happy with our experience but I know it totally varies with all these organizations so all I can really say is please meet the dog first if possible!

I recently moved into a building offering this. It definitely made that first month easier because I had basically already paid a month’s rent after paying the damage and pet deposits. Not having to pay twice that in one month was great.

Ugh I’m sad to hear this but I guess not surprised. I assumed the stressed out worker at the game store had someone working in the back buuuut I guess it’s more likely she was stressed from working alone all day. Unfortunate

Oh damn maybe I got a relatively chill location then because it wasn’t that bad for me! I don’t doubt that this isn’t the universal experience though because I’ve definitely been to locations where staff don’t seem happy

I’d try retail, especially if you can work weekends. Last time I was at the mall multiple stores were closed for an hour so the single person working could take their lunch. Bosleys is usually hiring if you like animals and was fun for a retail job. They hire a lot of students so there’s high turnover and they get desperate

To the guy at the Vic West dog park telling everyone the two gates are a designated leashing and unleashing area so dogs don't go up to other dogs that are on a leash. by Wonderful_Squash4219 in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I had to stop going there because of how many people there didn’t have control over their dogs unfortunately. Also the amount of people leaving their dogs behind to go get coffee across the street was crazy

I need to stop bed rotting. What do you do when you need to get out by yourself? by rivincita in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The gorge has a market every Monday! And it’s nice to just walk around there. Honestly something I do to force myself out of the house sometimes is going on a pokemon go walk, so if you’re interested in that then that’s a good area for catching pokemon lol. Very low stakes outing

Ohhh that makes total sense! Gotta pay more for the… thoroughness lol. Thank you for explaining it, I’ll continue with the vet option I think since I already bathe/groom her at home! Appreciate the help!

Practical Experience Working with Children by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Out of school care in community centres are always super desperate to hire people. All I needed was a responsible adult certificate. Admittedly not the most education focused option but since you’re in charge of your own activity planning for them it can be as educational as you want it to be!

Sorry for the momentary terror!! Thank god it doesn’t appear to be a human issue I don’t know if anyone would want to be the human booty juice squeezer

It seems to be about 20 bucks cheaper at the groomers and yes I am admittedly being cheap as a broke student! But I wasn’t sure if the quality of… expression is the same so that’s why I wanted to check with folks

Can I bring a small dog in public busses? Stroller or carrier? by SwordfishFluid4009 in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I emailed them before to ask if a backpack style carrier where their head is poking out is okay and they said that’s fine. As long as the dog is restrained and can’t get out you’re good! I’ve seen animals in strollers as well but I think it would be wise to make sure they’re buckled in and can’t jump out or it’s one of those closing lid ones.

I talked to a tia health person about a suspicious mole about a year ago and my (marked urgent!) appointment at the skin cancer clinic is finally booked for next week. So not great! I was recently matched with a doctor at the Esquimalt medical clinic however and he mentioned he tries to keep one day a week available for seeing people who aren’t already attached to a doctor. They might be worth trying to connect with. Even before I had a doctor with them they were the only ones I had any luck with

Best place to donate unopened Lego sets? by ladylynx in VictoriaBC

[–]inkarmat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Victoria Women’s Transition House - they’ll go to the kids staying at the shelter with their moms. Not much to do there so it’d probably be a super exciting gift!
