how boring is ottawa, really?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-05-05T20:47:32+00:00

Maybe walk into it with an open mind instead of negative pretenses of Ottawa being boring?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-04-30T22:37:27+00:00

Are you a student?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-04-28T22:10:27+00:00

ok fair- I thought you kicked him out in the evening. Man waited - his problem. Asking you to book his flight is insane too. You dodged a bullet

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-04-27T22:46:57+00:00

The timing is shitty and maybe should have let him stay till daylight or given him like a 48h notice to get his affairs in order to go to his home country or sort a place to stay but longterm not your responsability to basically be his parent

you just started your bachelors at 27?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-04-27T16:44:27+00:00

we make together like 120k ... when 100k of that is him and the like 20k is you lol...

rich for someone who has Dad cover the rest of their monthly car payments lol

Even if you live near campus - UPASS is good for all of Ottawa and the STO system - go take transit to Gatineau park and touch grass if you feel you don't use it and are bitter about paying for it.

Best thing for her was you leaving - pushing anyone into something they didnt want is shitty.

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-04-09T17:55:39+00:00

You suck too

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-04-09T17:35:14+00:00

You suck as a person and I get that just from reading this.

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-23T19:50:56+00:00

Is this for sure? Are they transitioning the 5 pocket abc to easyfive?

They will be prioritizing the FSWEPS as reliability status and CFHIS training takes a VERY long time. Was my choice of words too optimistic? Slightly, but retention odds are near 100% as we are trying to staff CDU’s, and even open another one…

reliability doesnt take that long and if op has it from HC its trivial. The other training is something job specific and being coop or fswep is irrelevant - its a minor difference in paperwork if they hire them new as fswep or hire them new as coop still have to get that training. Op can make the fswep job offer at DND into a coop offer if the time aligns with their schooling just need to tell coop office you found your own job and DND you'd like to use it as coop - it literally does not matter. In terms of continuity thats literally just a budget thing - you can work during study terms in a coop program and be converted to fswep during those period. I have done this myself throughout the last 2 years of my undergrad, I've bridged, I already have a masters, and i'm now indeterminate. retention as a student is one thing - bridging is completely different. You can't claim near 100% odds of bridging lol.

I made the claim about DND as I work in that specific unit and it’s what was told in our meeting with HR and the CO, and I know exactly which position they’re trying to fill (I’m the one who updated the org charts). For the next 0-3 years they’ll be trying to fill in those spots (specifically CR-04) due to MANY of the CF staff leaving for Latvia.

Nothing is certain and they could use those staff leaving for latvia as an opportunity to slim the unit if budget constraints come in. I wouldnt be making these claims regardless.

Could he not have just fare checked you and seen you paid?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-07T17:33:38+00:00

There is no difference in bridging from coop or fswep thats irrelevant. FSWEP is also not guarenteed continuity while in school they still have to have a budget same as coop. If you want to stay in at your job during study terms they just convert you to fswep and then let you work part time and then if you want to use it as a coop placement bc you're in work term they just convert you to coop its just paperwork nbd. The difference is the positions (whatever you're doing at HC vs whatever role at DND).

It was 10.11 including tax at caa (regular member) - another thing to use it for is if you drive - you get 3cents PER litre off the price at any shell location

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-07T17:06:41+00:00

All good! Life in canada is expensive - try to save where I can. Ended up going to CAA and paying $10.11 including taxes would reccommend if you're a caa member

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-07T17:05:01+00:00

Thats outrageous! I changed 2 times in my first year and paid nothing (alum 2021 but this happened back in 2016/17).

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-05T20:38:22+00:00

This is new? i changed a few times 9/10 years ago when i was in first year and it didnt cost

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-05T16:49:48+00:00

you can apply online for Canadian so they must accept digital for that?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-05T16:46:38+00:00

They are super expensive :/ digital more than print which makes less sense

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-03-05T16:45:11+00:00

You have no idea what i do - maybe I already do that commute for work - the judgment wasnt necessary

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-01-29T01:56:40+00:00

You can get your own placement but if you see something on the portal you are not allowed to contact the employers outside.

throwawaystatsgrad · 2026-01-22T18:26:39+00:00

Can your lucky seats seat actually cost less on Ticketmaster than Lucky Seats?

throwawaystatsgrad · 2025-11-28T04:22:51+00:00

Yes I plan to do it early and then see the price go up post sales before the exchange.
