what I don’t see covered is the role Canada plays in all this. The article implies a rollback to pre-NAFTA which would be the US-Canada Free Trade Agreement which is very close to the existing set of laws.

Headphones - I’ll buy good(ish) ones and break them in a month. I’ve managed to break my Bluetooth one, my Porta-Pros, lose the rubber bit off of some earbuds, run over a set of Bose earbuds....

my Dutch oven is from the ‘20s or 30's based on the manufacturer. I don’t use it enough.

On my GM car you can switch between modes - except for the odometer it’s locked to KM.

It’s standard for school boards to require you to pay for a police check upon making the short list to APPLY for work. What’s worse is that there are two boards per region and in most cases people will apply to their local region and the neighbouring ones. And you need a new police check for each.

is ir too early for pizza and beer? I’m middle aged with kids.

That’s probably the reason, being sued by every female that worked on the program is the real chill.

I sort by sender first, a lot of routine system maintenance / announcements / status items can quickly be deleted or moved out of your inbox.

we did our wedding for around $6,000 (20 years ago) and had around 70 people, a nice dinner and a church service.

I thought the Equinox/Terrain platforms were built at CAMI in Woodstock not Oshawa. Both are union shops but CAMI is newer and based on the joint venture with Suzuki.

I start with a blank page, my ‘job-seeking’ book has enough in it that they get the idea that this isn’t my first/last/only thing going on.

It’s a pretty good and diverse set of books. While heavy on the IT side vs. end user, some of the quick start guides will come in useful for new staff.

it’s been a good story to tell so I got a bonus with the couch.

I’ve been saying this for years. The weekend traffic gets returned on Sunday and processed on Monday/Tuesday. I bought a couch for $149 back years ago. Two very nice elderly ladies sat on it while I ran to the bank to get cash, some others were eyeing it.

I have too many bikes in my life between my 2.5 and the other 6 the rest of the family has. (my garage is full)

true, I’m lucky in that I’m senior enough that I can get more flexibility in setting interview times AND most roles are close to me. Plus I don’t apply to many jobs - I have a niche so I don’t cast a wide net.

First job I took out of school was a disaster, what I was hired for changed due to a crisis situation with another team and suddenly I’m an IT manager?

yes, a thousand times yes!

LinkedIn has helped me land two jobs outside of tech and I’ve had many interviews based on recruiters (internal and external) reaching out to me. I do avoid linking to everybody/anybody - unless we’ve worked together I tend to reject requests.

So long as your not remembered for doing something bad/dumb.
