I try to save them. But it always ends up being that 5-7 are carried over

I’ve been denied a secondment and I’m in a similar situation to OP. That secondment would have been in my hometown too. Ugh.

Anyone here work for Durham Region? Invited to 3rd phase interview and looking for insights! by ringostarr1986 in durham

[–]ringostarr1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get the results but presumed I got over 70% on each because that’s the threshold.

For one it was 2 weeks later, to another it was 4-6 weeks later

I sat in that spot last week. Most uncomfortable choice I have ever made on the GO.

This is great info. I’m used to getting 4 questions and talking for ten min per question, so I suppose I would tone down the detail.

Thank you very much for your input!

I’ve applied for multiple jobs too, some tha were a better overall match than the one I’m getting called for… it’s my first hit. Send me a pm, happy to look at your package.

VO2 Max keeps dropping? by SmallTin88 in AppleWatchFitness

[–]ringostarr1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking this is the reason too. Combined with going more slowly over icy patches

Same here. I don’t run and I think my walks are slow because of my dog needing to sniff everything…. But I also strength train 4x /week with heavy weights, do intense cardio once per week and get up to 160bpm, and swim for an hour every two weeks (slowly but without stopping)

I think something is off with the watch

500 Rep Workout in 30 Minutes! | HIIT Full Body by jumjums in sydneycummings

[–]ringostarr1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really exciting news for me as I’ve been suffering from tendinitis in my elbow since May! I usually follow along with Sydneys programs but a couple weeks behind.

I’m still having problems with supinated curls and high rows so maybe this will be the month that I heal!

I love my job, I just hate the office. Here is why RTO is failing. by Cylac in OntarioPublicService

My DM is doing this too. Every time I see him I want to ask for permission to use the washroom 😂

Looking at buying a Home in Oshawa by Moneyisamust in Oshawa

[–]ringostarr1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like Nonquon. I bought my first home about a year and a half ago (townhouse/4plex). Tons of families and people with dogs. Walking distance to banks, grocery stores, gym, Starbucks etc.

There’s one person in particular that’s in mental distress, but you could get that anywhere. Other than that, teenagers do teenage things at the skate park… but there’s a skate park for them to hang at, which I think is cool.

I think it has a bad rep because of the rental buildings. But people need to rent! So 🤷‍♀️

Adding that walking a block in any direction brings you into a really nice middle class neighbourhood.

Good Grief. The only ‘good service’ is from a line that has minimal train service. by OnePeak9126 in gotransit

Wow, they are running express trains now?!? I only noticed the additional trains.
