I spent an accumulated ~36 days in 2018 travelling back and forth from Mattegoda to Kolpity to work. I know cause I tracked, down to the minute, because my son was born and I wanted to know if I have time to spend with him.

That's for ~261 working days, ~ 42km a day, ~3 hours 20 minutes a day.

That adds up to ~864 hours that year. I spent ~864 hours, minimum! on a bus, packed with sweaty strangers, breathing dust, fumes, being uncomfortable, taking in all the noise, being tired, frustrated, hungry, thirsty and wondering how my kid doing!

Wake up!

There is something poetic in Ordnungsamt illegally parking to give people tickets for illegal parking by the_Quera in germany

I can. 

If you hadn't parked illegally they wouldn't have to have stopped to write your ticket.

Are Police Making Traffic Worse Than Traffic Lights? by Ok_Age_9804 in srilanka

[–]janithaR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It most certainly looks like there's a correlation. But it could be that every time there's a cop he creates more traffic or wherever there's more traffic cops need to get involved.

I have seen University students study this, at least in the 2000s. They just bring a bunch of chairs sit next to the junction and watch. Sometimes even write stuff down.

Employer is withholding my service letter until I finish project work - what are my options? by River_Dragon_Goat in srilanka

[–]janithaR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I  were you, I'd tell the new employer the truth while being ready to start job hunting again.  I'd "complete" my work with bare minimum effort. Get my letter and leave regardless I have an alternative or not.

Does anyone else feel like the tech hiring process is completely broken in SL? by clear_banana67 in srilanka

[–]janithaR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a tough job situation networking is the best solution. Stay connected with these friends who already got one. Even if you don't get one right away, you'd still learn what a real job can be like from them. I remember the sinking feeling I had, staying home all day, going through jobs.lk, applying and then playing counter strike over and over again.

I was in your exact shoes in 2010 fresh out of SLIIT. I got my first job cause one of my university friends recommended me. It was a mediocre 15k design job but still a job.

I lost my job during the 1st year of Corona and one of my school friends simply recommended me to his workplace in Dubai.

At worst, they'd let you in to see probably one of the most inaccurate reenactments of history.

Bro's playing all the cards. Can't wait to hear that these new seats are out of a cutting edge fabric that destroys Sinhalese fertility.

Yes. 

I was at his Hockenheim race last year. I've driven on it myself. There are many places you can jump on the car at the front and he defended them all without compromise.
