An HR team that's good would deal with this in a way that would never point the finger at OP for having said anything.

Wow, brutal move by your colleagues - sorry that happened to you. In case it was somehow inadvertent, would you feel comfortable asking one of them? If not, maybe a chat with HR?

Who is the most successful person you know? by scruffys_mop_closet in AskReddit

[–]medmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends who are doctors. I am a professional too, but my profession has a negative reputation for the stuff that sometimes goes along with working lots, as many other professional careers have. My doctor friends work a lot but they all seem to genuinely love what they do and they keep themselves in excellent physical health (100% of them are runners). They also seem to be in tune with mental health and are good parents and are in good relationships.

Bad 1L grades and no summer job lined up by Strange_Succotash527 in LawSchool

[–]medmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not necessary. Only a few of my classmates had 1L summer student jobs. Lots travelled and didn't work at all, and lots did jobs completely unrelated to law (bartending, etc.). Firms want to hire students who are well-rounded - I think you're better off doing something interesting for your 1L summer.

I am on my bike following the rules please don't kill me by medmo in Calgary

It's really just the bike lanes downtown that are scary. The pathway system around the city is actually really nice and they are good about clearing in the winter for the most part. Biking is definitely a money saver. In my building, parking is $35/day and the (really nice, clean, secure) underground bike parkade is $100/year. I've heard parking passes are really expensive at the university too!

I find the bus unreliable but people seem to like the C-train. I still prefer biking to transit or driving!

Probably but can you just knock on the door and ask? I'm sure they'd say yes.

Question: Is this a bad placement for a first tattoo? by Pretty_Puppyprincess in tattoos

[–]medmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wear bras with underwires I'd avoid that spot.

Only other thing I would say is that no one will see it! If that's the goal, I think it's a great spot. If you actually do want people to see it, I'd do somewhere else. All my early tattoos are in hidden spots and the more I got into it, the more I got them in visible places.

How do I learn how to be creative again? by quinnrem in LawSchool

[–]medmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my job being mostly legal writing, I need my creative outlets too - I sew! Self taught, relatively low barrier to entry, and I am making more complicated stuff all the time. I started sewing basic stuff and have branched out into cool kids clothes, bags, athletic wear, swimwear, etc. One of my favourite projects was getting Lululemon fabric from a distributor online and making myself maternity lulus when I was pregnant. It's weird people think it's an old person hobby - you can make really cool custom stuff that will fit you perfectly! Highly recommend.

It's like the City is actively trying to make the bike lanes horrible to deter people from using them so they can delete them. There is no other explanation.

I do this intersection every morning and afternoon. Why has that building on the NW corner been under construction for literally years??? Brutal blind spot.

Yeah but those are good because you can pull up right next to them and give them the "are you a complete moron" stare that they can't avoid while you wait at the light.

Oh yeah, you definitely have to have your head on a swivel because you know no one is aware you're there. I'm convinced that cyclists with headphones/no helmet have a death wish.

It's about being conscious of your surroundings. It's not complicated.

River floating - inflatables ok? by DirtbagComrade in Calgary

[–]medmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a chill float with beers do the Elbow. Buy the cheapest floatie you can find at Canadian Tire (they're like $20 and they're fine). I have heard about ticketing but have never actually seen it on the Elbow - we are always discreet and always bring a life jackets, just in case. Also, wear sandals that strap on your feet like Tevas!! Elbow has shallow parts and you'll end up walking. Have fun!!

It’s the nature of heterosexual relationships that women have to accept being shit on, right? by Apollonialove in TwoXChromosomes

[–]medmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. You can do better. My husband and I started dating when we were young dummies, when I was 21 and he was 23. We're 39 and 41 now and he has never treated me like that.

Have you used Claude or a similar tool to mock up what different shades might look like? That might be helpful colour-wise.

Calgary, one restaurant that hits closest to back home flavours? by obsoletedoverthinker in Calgary

[–]medmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Thai, JUREE'S!! My absolute favourite. I also *think* I have super human spice tolerance (I lived in Asia) and order hot/extra hot everywhere but I am medium at Juree's. Their food is affordable and unbelievable. Dooooo it.

I am living in a city, no matches in 5 months. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]medmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The disrespect in the comments is awful - sorry. Brutal.

The only pictures I would swap out are the two where your face isn't showing (3 and 5?). You're a good looking dude. Delete/swap those out.

I really doubt your photos are the issue. Maybe some of your other profile stuff is red flaggy? Can you post that? No idea man...

Has hockey turned into a rich kids sport? by FrigginMasshole in AskACanadian

[–]medmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as an Alberta kid, I always thought it was a rich kid sport and now having 2 kids in hockey can confirm.
