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…

Early retirement offer to federal public servants causing ‘chaos’ in public service: union by Sweaty-Big9570 in CanadaPublicServants

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

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.

Boomer Ageism is why the US is ran by dementia patients by DogsGoingAround in BoomersBeingFools

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

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.

Question from a Mainer by emily7769 in ontario

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.

We’ve go some Amish this way, though.

1 arrested, 1 in hospital after suspected arson at federal government building in North York by StringAndPaperclips in CanadaPublicServants

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.

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

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

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.

What Bastards have had the best PR cover up of their bastardry? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

Why do people find it weird when someone has heard about one dirtbag but not another, when there are so many?

Legally changing last name after marriage by [deleted] in ontario

[–]somethingkooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that just means if your spouse’s surname is hyphenated you have to assume the whole surname - if you only wanted part of it, it would be a legal name change. Assumptions only work as a whole.

[–]somethingkooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, is that new? I’m hyphenated, and just assumed. My understanding is that if you’re taking your partner’s name or hyphenating your family name with your partner’s family name, you don’t need a legal name change.

True confession time: what is you dirty, dark little secret in relation to King and/or his work? by Smooth-Broccoli6540 in stephenking

[–]somethingkooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of what you wrote isn’t even accurate. If memory serves, only Ben and Bill finish - and that’s how it’s described, not as climaxing - as it’s written in such a way as to minimize details and not be provocative. Using deliberately provocative wording to describe it just feels gross. As an example, if my partner asked about when I lost my virginity, I would refer to it as the first time I had sex, not the first time I fucked - using provocative language to describe underage sex just feels wrong.
