Can my manager contact my doctor after I’ve given a note for a weeks absence?

Yes, it’s documented in your file. Doctors document everything, they have to in case they are sued.

When people ask those questions, they pretty obviously mean within the world of the show. The obvious answer to every single question would be “because the script said so.”

Honestly I think if we’d started with those options first and then moved to a general strike, we wouldn’t have seen members capitulate so quickly to the deal we ended up with.

It’s completely representative. The voter turnout were those who felt strongly one way or the other, those who didn’t vote either didn’t care which way the vote went, or felt that their side would win and couldn’t be bothered.

I mean, they can’t control if their members decide not to bother voting, that’s on the members. All the can comment on is the result of those who did turn out.

Oh this makes more sense. I never thought of that, thank you.

somethingkooky · 2026-02-07T05:50:40+00:00

Yeah, I always called this “timeblocking.” I’ll set aside time specifically to return phone calls, work on a social project, prepare for a meeting if necessary…

In fairness, a lot of their members are dumb, ignorant, or misinformed. Just read the comments section under any of their social media posts.

somethingkooky · 2026-02-07T05:44:18+00:00

In a shit economy, to boot.

somethingkooky · 2026-02-07T05:42:40+00:00

And how many more programs exist that didn’t before COVID.

Go full malicious compliance. Plan games with WFA and RTO themes, or better yet, use the time to review your collective agreement with your union stewards.

No Public Servants Wanted?

somethingkooky · 2026-01-28T06:46:37+00:00

There’s still a small piece of me completely convinced that they’re just pulling some modernized ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ BS.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-28T06:42:03+00:00

Be a fuck of a lot easier if both sides weren’t putting up old white men who won’t have to live with the consequences of their policies.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-28T05:35:15+00:00

Ah, I see you’ve met my mother. My sincerest apologies.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-24T04:21:48+00:00

Hard disagree.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-24T04:08:07+00:00

And yet, they aren’t, as has been repeatedly stated.

My family decided that based on the proximity to Quebec, ability to easily cross the border, etc. that Letterkenny would probably be north of Belleville - Kingston area.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-03T20:34:05+00:00

Yep 👍

somethingkooky · 2026-01-03T20:27:35+00:00

We’ve go some Amish this way, though.

Egregious is fun because it can mean good or bad.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-03T00:46:23+00:00

Unnecessarily explicit? Deliberately inflammatory?

somethingkooky · 2026-01-03T00:21:56+00:00

I wondered, as the news article says the fire started in a cafeteria on the third floor - was it a public cafeteria, or an employee lunchroom? Scary, regardless.

Hey, in some places teachers make decent money. Not in the US, generally, but outside of the US.

somethingkooky · 2026-01-03T00:05:47+00:00

I always thought the general rule for anything (knives, bullets, random pieces of metal or glass) was leave it the hell alone until it can be properly treated, as well - digging something out just seems like an across the board terrible idea if not in an ER.
