While not the worst this is the one I immediately think of when thinking interviews.

There’s a guy in my neighbourhood that has a Se7en. It’s the only car that’s made me go up to a stranger and say how much I like it.

If you’re working through an agency be sure that you’re contractually clear to go on full time or if there is some kind of payout that the agency will want.

The one on my desk is an older locking blade type with black plastic pieces and a half serrated blade. I think it’s the Sportster Champagne knife based on the pictures. It’s just falling apart, you’d think I ran it over with a car (I didn’t).

Even funner fact - this was one of the first songs converted to MP3 format. The inventor of the format used it because it has a wide range and he’d be able to hear how well the compression worked.

really? I’ve had nothing but problems with Gerbers. Enough that I won’t even buy one now.

Part of the difference is ‘jeans’, on a very casual Friday I might wear jeans, and a dress shirt, and a blazer, and casual but dress shoes. I should be wearing a suit or tie most days of the week. When I was working in the field I’d have a different attire and different ‘accessories’ and a knife like what you show…

carrying a gun would not happen, I’m in a different country.

I like the Opinel knives because they don’t look unreasonable or too ‘tactical’. If you work in an office setting having a something like the Kershaw or the Spyderco fall out of your bag will cause people to wonder.

I sometimes make a vinaigrette salad dressing with raspberry or strawberry jam. Around 1 part jam, 2 parts vinegar and some dashes of Montreal steak spice. Adjust to taste from there.

By the way - writing "other than the racism" is something I'm not thrilled with - please don't get me wrong - I no longer shop there for my better half, but that was about the general icky factor of Dov.

I do recall reading an article about their stores being racist towards their customers - that I can believe based on my personal experiences. I think it was on Jezebel too IIRC. I figure that most retail stores are crappy places to work - management is power tripping and out of touch. (other than the racism towards…

Agree and disagree with you.

Midwives in Canada sound more like the UK than the US it seems. Ours was an RN that had an additional set of training, likely 24 months of in class and practical experience from what I recall talking to one.

I'm not a fan of letting companies automatically debit my account every cycle. This article is one reason why, the other is that getting them to stop can be a problem too. Lastly I want something that will fail and cause the vendor to call me and say I'm overdue instead of letting them be paid and having to argue…

more to the point is finding a sustained return that gets you much above inflation. Key word 'sustained'.

After close to 20 years of managing staff I've learned that one way isn't never the right way for everyone. You'll learn to look at a team as individuals and vary YOUR approach and style when dealing with them. For the person that wants little oversight - work with that. But someone may want more so YOU need to…

I carry an army (not sure whose army) folding shovel in the winter. Plastic snow shovels are great for digging out fluffy snow but if a plough has gone by you're in trouble. Because it's small I'm not likely to use it somewhere else so it'll stay in the car for when I need it.

I really don't like financial rules of thumb . Let's not forget that most of these financial institutions have a vested interest in getting you to save more (more fees for them).

If I had a large lot with a wooded area a chain saw would be useful, but a chain saw is only useful in cutting trees and green wood. For most urban or suburban use a buck saw will suffice.
