Bonjour !
Je cherche des recommendations pour un salon de toilettage pour mes chats à poils long. Avant j'allais à Ottawa, mais c'est trop loin maintenant.
J'habite dans le coin de la Sablonnière.
Point bonus si c'est un toilettage seulement pour les chats (ou qu'ils ont des heures avec seulement des chats). Ou qu'ils ne gardent pas trop d'animaux en même temps, mes chats sont nerveux autour des chiens
Merci !
Hi! I’m looking to buy a new couch and I’ve heard great things about the Thomasville sectionals from Costco. I specifically really like the: Thomasville Fallon 6-piece Modular Fabric Sectional with Ottoman.
It’s currently $1,999.99 CAD. For those who are familiar with Costco furniture sales, is it worth waiting for a sale? Does Costco usually discount Thomasville sectionals for Black Friday or at other times of the year?
Thanks!
Bonjour!
Je me cherche un petit coin tranquille où aller étudier. Quand j’étais aux études, j’allais souvent dans les cubicules des bibliothèques de mon école, mais maintenant que j’étudie à mon compte, je ne sais plus trop où aller.
Est-ce qu’il y a une école, un cégep ou une autre place à Gatineau où on peut réserver un cubicule ou une petite salle pour étudier sans être étudiant ? Ce serait avec une amie, donc ce serait vraiment pratique d’avoir un endroit où on peut jaser et travailler ensemble, plutôt que d’être assises à une table dans une bibliothèque où il faut chuchoter
J’ai essayé quelques cafés (Première Moisson, Moca Loca, Second Cup), mais je trouve ça toujours assez bruyant.
J’ai aussi vu que les bibliothèques de la Ville permettent de réserver des salles pour un maximum de 2 h. Est-ce que quelqu’un sait si c’est possible de faire 2h sous mon nom et ensuite 2h sous le nom de mon amie, ou si le maximum de 2h s’applique au groupe?
Bref, si vous connaissez des endroits tranquilles à Gatineau où on peut étudier à deux et avoir le droit de parler normalement, je prends toutes vos recommandations!
Merci d’avance!
I've been following the RTO debate, and one thing I've been wondering is this.
The public service has been incredibly vocal about RTO, pay, and working conditions. That's understandable, those issues directly affect employees.
But from the outside, many Canadians also hear stories (whether representative or not) about consistently poor performers being transferred instead of dismissed, lengthy performance management processes, or employees who contribute very little while remaining employed.
My question is: why don't we see the same public push, from employees, unions, or other groups, for reforms that improve accountability and public confidence?
I'm asking because I think this disconnect is one reason many Canadians aren't sympathetic to the RTO debate, and I'd genuinely like to understand the perspective from people inside the public service.
I don't really have anyone in my real life to talk to about this because we haven't told our families that we're trying.
We're a little over a year into this process, and being around family has become so much harder than I expected. There are babies everywhere, pregnancy announcements, conversations about kids... and then come the inevitable questions: "So, when are you guys having kids?"
I usually just smile and say "Not yet."
Then come the responses: "Enjoy your freedom while you can!" or "When we decided to try, it happened the first month." The one that hit me the hardest recently was, "Enjoy not having kids right now. It's so hard."
Girl... that's all I want.
I've spent months dreaming about becoming a mom and months getting my hopes up, only to have them crushed again. I'll still notice my body doing something a little different and catch myself thinking, "Maybe this is the month." Then my period comes, and I'm right back where I started.
I know people aren't trying to be hurtful. They have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. But every one of those comments stings.
As far as we know, we're the only couple in the family dealing with fertility issues. It feels incredibly isolating, especially when everyone else seems to have gotten pregnant so easily. I often leave family gatherings feeling completely drained, even though nothing "bad" actually happened.
I don't really know what I'm looking for by posting this. Maybe just to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. If you've kept your journey private, how do you get through family events and all the well-meaning comments?
Every time I sit down to study, I end up putting on one of this guy's videos: https://www.youtube.com/@icanstudystudent
I used to watch his 3-hour study sessions, and he recently released a 1.5-hour one as well.
I passed Network+ not too long ago, but I think I completely burned myself out in the process. Ever since then, I've had a hard time finding the motivation to study again. Surprisingly, this channel has been one of the biggest reasons I've been able to get back into it.
My routine is simple: I open HTB (that's what I'm studying right now, CPTS precisely if anyone is interested), start one of his videos, and tell myself, "Just give it 10 minutes."
I've read that getting started is usually the hardest part, so when I can't tell whether I'm actually exhausted or just unmotivated, I don't try to figure it out first, I just commit to those 10 minutes. I don't even set a timer. If I'm genuinely too tired, I stop without feeling guilty.
But honestly? Most of the time, those 10 minutes turn into an hour or two. Once I get into the groove, I completely lose track of time.
Working full-time while studying to eventually transition into a new position has honestly been one of the hardest things I've done in my life so far. Back when I was in school, I thought balancing two part-time jobs while studying was going to be the toughest period of my life... turns out I was very wrong.
Whatever reason you're on this subreddit, don't give up. Some days you'll only manage 10 minutes, and that's okay. Progress is still progress, and showing up consistently matters a lot more than having the "perfect" study session, or cramming everything last minute
My husband's name on top, and mine on the bottom. Super cool gift !
They were lowering the truck as I was pulling my phone out, but it was completely vertical at first
Bonjour,
Est-ce que quelqu’un aurait une recommandation pour un bon inspecteur en piscine à Gatineau, particulièrement pour une inspection préachat ?
C'est une piscine creusée. J'ai parlé à une représentante de Detecto.ca, mais j'ai vraiment pas une bonne impression d'eux suite à l'appel... Plus, me semble que c'est vraiment cher, $500 + $200/hrs pour faire le rapport. Quelqu'un a une meilleure recommandation ?
Merci !
Bonjour,
Est-ce que quelqu’un aurait une recommandation pour un bon inspecteur en bâtiment à Gatineau, particulièrement pour une inspection préachat ?
J’entends de plus en plus d’histoires d’inspecteurs qui semblent être un peu trop proches des courtiers immobiliers, alors je cherche quelqu’un de vraiment indépendant et qui travaille dans l’intérêt de l’acheteur.
Est-ce que certains d’entre vous ont fait affaire avec Inspection MVP ? Si oui, quelle a été votre expérience ?
Merci !
