Update now because I didn't before but finished my exams and waiting for results. Also got the job and start my orientation period on Tuesday and should be out working in full capacity by the middle of May at the latest. Only thing that really sucks is that I got hired casual for a spot about an hour away so I'm going to end up commuting a fair bit, but since I'm living at home it'll still be cheaper.

Who the [bleep] and what the [bleep] is this seeming new *human* user in my OT?

Finished the testing portion of the hiring process I was going through yesterday. Now just a waiting game to find out whether I passed everything and to hopefully get hired! Think I did okay on everything but I'm only positive on passing one of the three stages. Some good news came out of the interview though in that usually its 3-4 weeks between the pre-screening and orientation for the position and at least two weeks to hear back, but they have an orientation starting next Tuesday so I should be hearing back this week and it would be absolutely amazing if I was able to start working that soon. Otherwise because of the hiring I had to get two of my exams moved around so that's what Monday and Tuesday this week are all about. Crush those out and then I'm officially done school for this academic year and all goes well making that good money.

I absolutely do not browse this forum except for when i get notifications or the odd time I'm feeling nostalgic. The other boards/threads are just so dead that there is almost never new content.

Hmm?

Big agree with this one. Dropping out of uni to work full-time at Macca's was legitimately the best decision I've ever made. I've got a good career lined up anyway thanks to my college time. If I decide to drop its that program not school in general as I'm going to pick up something for distance education. Thanks for the kind words and advice!

Maddy has encouraged me! Here's my semi-quarterly update on life. Finishing up my second semester of university very shittily due to a general lack of interest and effort on my part. Looks like I'm for sure going to end up failing one of my courses due to information overload and falling way behind. Two courses in the bag relatively easily and two more courses on the fence but as long as I actually put in some study time I should be looking pretty okay for those. Along with that I had to get two of my exams moved/rescheduled because I've got pre-screening for my first (debatably second) real job which I will hopefully get hired for and be able to work my way through the summer and beyond. Otherwise looking forward I'm not sure on going back to university in the fall because I'm thinking I should take some time off, at least from this specific program, and go back when I'll be more focused on the school work. Still looking at what I might decide to do if I choose to not go back but we'll see what's up when the time arises.

We just call them all highways but they're generally the same as you mentioned. More nomenclaturewise but generally anything labelled as TransCanada is garunteed to be divided highways and otherwise naming varies a little between provinces. Speeds limits are using 100km/h or 110km/h on the TransCanada.

and I would walk 500 more

Can other commonwealth members be allowed to lurk?

We need a new labor movement. Everywhere should be like this. We have so many valuable unemployed workers, while the employed population is basically indentured servitude. This is why I like shift work, you clock in at start time, clock out at finish, and anything extra is overtime and paid as such.

Happy birthday RPG and Hedgehog!

True fact, we have taken measures to ensure this.

That's my biggest hate with cars. I have one, I'd argue that I truely need one, but if my car was to breakdown majorly I'd be screwed at the moment due to lack of funds.

Besides a few warnings I don't care about, all the mobile warnings are for a "mobile Chrome app" which my site is not.Think it means for users viewing the site from Chrome app, when looking at it on my phone I can't see the slideshow image at the top, which isn't a big deal.

Speak for yourself old geezer. Young 20's crowd represent.

Screen time seems to eat it. I should have more than enough time to get everything done. Issue is I, and should try to fix this, hop on the computer and either start browsing or looking at netflix and suddenly 3 hours later I've got nothing done and really don't know what I did with the time. I've been attempting to help myself by creating my lists of tasks and referring to them but it doesn't seem to be working great. Consider using RescueTime - it brutally reminds you about how little you do while you faff around. I use it for working at home and I feel guilty everyday.

Time management? Tip, tricks, or other advice. Finding myself very much on the slide this semester through a sheer lack of it.

No

Channel your inner Shia Labeouf and "Do it!" Obligatory Muggi advice from a bit ago is keep that date no more than 2 days ahead if you can.

Actually, I think this would be a super cool easter egg. Super vague as well, but something to add if you got bored or just had a ton of extra time. Just a cat avatar somewhere that says "Goonstalf style" things.

Just youtube videos and marketing. Friends and family say they'll do a lot of stuff that they never actually do. It will probably be easier to entice strangers with some advertising or well place reddit/forum posts. I'd wager the real issue will be retention of players once you get going.

Life, just not necessarily a healthy or disease free life.

My plan to pay down debt, if/when I ever get out of school, assuming nothing has changed. Is just to get an oilfield gig, fly in/fly out 2 weeks on 2 weeks off and then work when I'm home anyway just to crank out some cash. Odds that I'll have the opportunity to do that? Maybe.

I missed it for a board game night, but I heard the saints got robbed. Guess I was wrong about them taking it this year. Good for the Rams though Want to feel bad, I stopped watching the Pats game at half time when the score was 14-0. Checked the score after and they finished at 37-31, definitely missed the better half of the game to watch.
