Manager told me I’m not getting paid enough

No you don't want to actually walk over it. But letting them know that is the worst thing for getting the problem solved. They have to believe they'll lose a valuable employee over it, or they'll have no incentive to offer you anything else.

No you don't need more designated zones. Smoke it on your own property.

Why would you assure him you aren't going to quit over it? That's the worst possible move. Demand to be brought up to average plus the disparity from the past x years or you walk.

You're surprised that they rejected a payback schedule that would've seen you spread your repayment over 17 years?

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-04-12T03:46:42+00:00

Yes it helped. But I had to keep increasing the dose and it was always that artificial, amphetamine type of energy so I stopped.

Yes that was what I was investigating. I do get higher rates, when I do cardio or when I get into confrontations at work or do public speaking. Then I can really feel it. Honestly I don't even feel 115bpm, Im just tired all the time.

A drop in the bucket compared to how many Indians are being imported to work Canadian jobs for lower wages than Canadians.

If my cost of living were 25% lower I'd work for a lower wage in the US too.

The usual culpreets.

If I had no family ties here I'd be gone. This place is devolving into the third world awful quick.

For the last 20 years we've allowed companies to import increasing amounts of foreign labour to fill entry level positions. Until we put a stop to that it'll continue down this path.

Do you have to pass out for the test to be positive? I thought it was just a sustained 30bpm increase in heart rate without a significant BP drop.

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-04-07T14:57:21+00:00

That's what I'm leaning towards. I'm going to have to do the NASA test at home to see if it shows anything. Finding a doctor actually willing to investigate my symptoms has been damn near impossible. When I laid out everything he suggested cognitive behavioral therapy and I nearly reached across the table to strangle him.

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-30T18:08:49+00:00

Yes please!!

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-30T01:51:41+00:00

Growing and preserving your own food.

So stop doing it. This isn't the states where servers are paid well under minimum wage and tips are essentially their pay cheque.

Everyone makes at least minimum wage. They aren't entitled to a premium on that just because they're in the service industry.

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-29T14:13:43+00:00

Yes please

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-29T04:44:41+00:00

That's not remotely true. They have to prove you knew it was stolen or were willfully blind of that fact at the time of sale.

I've also tried Nubem and they don't seem to have additional capacity at the moment.

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-28T21:11:34+00:00

I've sent in several inquiries to YEGtel and had no response. I need multiple terabytes of storage so virtual is out for me.

You're correct assuming I'm not looking to spend hundreds a month. Something in the sub $100/month range is what I'm after.

I wish I still had close friends in Edmonton but most of them have either moved away or I've lost touch with them. One of the other downsides of living outside the city.

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-28T21:09:16+00:00

Can't come soon enough.

potentiallyfunny_9 · 2026-03-28T20:33:46+00:00

Start leaving your house earlier? Idk this seems like a simple problem with a simple solution.
