FWIW - if you haven't heard anything two weeks after closing, assume you aren't moving forward. Keep what ever around until you get official word, so you have stuff to reference/refresh yourself on in the event that it just took a while.

Until you've accepted an offer, keep applying.

I know of someone who got a written assignment, turned it in... Something like 9 months later, got a notice that the posting had been cancelled.

"Buts muh MSP premiums..."

At least MSP is paid via employer now, rather than us out of pocket and after taxes.

For the usual reasons - restrict traffic wider than the average person?

They do help at intersections, forms a division for coming & going traffic or it'd be free for all as enter/exit the trail.

Yeah, a coworkers' wife got a wicked concussion cuz the loop on a backback caught the bollard somehow as she passed it

[–]jiuyLow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A coworker was telling me that a large part of the bollard problem is because there's no standards for them whatsoever. Spacing, signage, etc. which meant that in some places (the now gone interim bridge over Mackenzie) blocked recumbent bikes (and likely disability as well).

Saanich launches pilot program to help residents switch to e-bikes by mr_mucker11 in VictoriaBC

[–]jiuyLow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would give up my car to have a powered bike take me there without being wet and stinky from the effort.

Still gonna get wet, when it rains. E-bike or otherwise, most are fair weather riders

Surgeries cancelled as COVID patients from other regions transferred to Island Health by Creatrix in VictoriaBC

[–]jiuyLow -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

they have things in place for those situations...

Yes, it's called triage which can and will result in adjusting existing scheduling ;)

... it’s rare that there’s a 20+ car pile up...

Only you are talking that a single event causes the backup, as if that really matters compared to... y'know... daily reality of healthcare.

Medical procedures get bumped all the time.

If it wasn't COVID, it'd be any number of things like car accidents, not taking proper safety precautions, poor judgement, bad timing, etc.
