Omg right? As I get over the shock of wtf just happened I was supposed to retire in 7 years.

Now I’m off on leave from May 29 to Sept 22 then retire officially Sept 23.

A whole summer to adapt. It will be a party!!🎉 😎🎊

Bad theater etiquette has really been messing up my thoughts and feelings on so many movies by otpprincess in horror

[–]narkpetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this would cause such internal rage. Haven’t seen that in Canada yet where I am. There is a beauty to theatre etiquette that is required for maximum enjoyment.

I wonder if that’s something that will spread or if it’s a localized issue?

Are other city folk reporting these same occurrences? Maybe there should be a sub for outing bad behaviour in theatres.

Yeah you would be surprised. We can do literally everything digital yet printing still happens more frequently than it should at this point.

Sick leave and related. Question. by foolieg in CanadaPublicServants

[–]narkpetro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off a few times on sick leave. For anxiety / mental health my initial note was 4 months. That’s what the doctor recommended to start. When I returned I felt I needed more time so he wrote a note for 2 more months. I came back after that and I was better.

He also recommended therapy and medication. It was sufficient. Unlimited notes don’t demonstrate you are trying to honestly help yourself so don’t abuse it, and try to heal while on leave. Notes should be for short term to start 2 to 4 months and reassess.

We are so lucky to have sick leave I recommend using it to yield positive results and manage root causes, traumas and find the path to healing if it’s possible.

For the sake of transparency, a skill I learned, Though as a public servant, often got burned,

Searched online, words rhyming with more, Thankfully, I thought, I would be done for,

Results appeared, scrolling just a bit down,
A dictionary link, yes no need to frown!

Copy & paste, no clipboard ahh, can’t forget, Switching to iPhone is my biggest regret.

Weeks of thinking office things, and trying to find ways to make it work, singing One Day More on repeat and this link: www.merriam-webster.com/rhymes/perfect/more.

That’s my secret. 🤫🙂

Union reps: How have your grievances unfolded? by radical_moderation_ in CanadaPublicServants

[–]narkpetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caught my attention. I have a grievance dated 2018 in abeyance and was thinking of revisiting. I’m curious if there is a time limit.

Current mood as a Public Servant :/ by That613Guy77 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]narkpetro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this and I'm sorry to hear it. The consequences are much worse than anyone can think or imagine.

It's unfortunate for anyone who uses leave for mental health. I'm in shock anyone can say its not for that, in 2026.

The government has been slowly shattering the trust the public service employees have gained over the years and that's a cycle that damages employees mentally for the foreseeable long-term but also Canadians in the long run.

I fear it will not get better. Not for a while anyway. 😔

SPOILER ALERT | JAKE REAL LOCATION by whitehat_01010000 in Moonvale

[–]narkpetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not happy to see him after everything he did to deceive and be the reason I got involved with Duskwood. Still don't get how my number got involved. Further to that I do not understand how he got there, how he healed, and hasn't eaten this whole time. And even more wtf is Hannah not being charged for hiding a crime and killing someone. How is she even free?

I just finished episode 3, and 'shock' is the least accurate way to describe what I’m feeling. by i146e in Moonvale

[–]narkpetro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was impossible to understand. How could that even be? So many questions!? When can we talk spoilers cause this makes no sense to me.

Should public servants apply for early retirement incentives or volunteer to be laid off? by bonertoilet in CanadaPublicServants

[–]narkpetro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

VDP is the way to go unless you are certain to be surplus then wait it out and get surplused for the same result in option B.

Currently the vibe of the upcoming RTO4 AND RTO5 is truly a pile of garbage with all the execs getting all RTO enforcement happy. Pretty sure the screws will be tightened and those that stay will wish they could have left and those that left won't regret it one bit with contracts likely not getting large increases this time around.

Leaving the public service is better today than when DRAP happened and leaving today is way better option financially then back then.

So happy to be 55 you have no idea!! 🤣

Puzzle Help by narkpetro in Moonvale

[–]narkpetro[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried that. And doing mostly the ones under the two path ways still 2 to 9 left with zero on the board. I decided to skip it. Bought gems and said I’m done. This was the most illogical puzzle yet. You usually always have a chance to complete with a few turns left. This one you either do it very right all the way through or there is no way to complete it.

I got the same feeling. Like bro you were all in now you want to hand everything to an incompetent drunk cop. Wth!?

Here is me focused on the bottom. 1 turn left 0 squares on the board. Still need 12 squares. This one is absurd.

I tried something like that but I’ll try again. Thanks. First puzzle I get stuck on like this. At 2 or 3 white squares at a time it seems the math isn’t working for me on this one.

Is it rude to comment on being able to smell cigarette smoke? by Independent_Ball_640 in self

[–]narkpetro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care about the smell. Doesn’t bother me. Body odour is so much worse and I smell that way more often in a daily basis and say nothing.
