I broke that figure down a bit further, to help anyone else who's struggling to conceptualize what hours worked per month really looks like.

Assuming a stereotypical 40-hour, 5-day work week:

  • In BC, 5.5 hours of your 8 hour work day goes toward generating rental income for your landlord.

  • In ON, it's "only" (lol) 5 hours.

That leaves you with 2.5 or 3 hours left of work to generate income for your utilities, debt repayment, food, and anything else you need to live.

Pretty grim.

Hard no for me. People feel way too entitled to bring their dogs everywhere. Your being a pet owner doesn't mean everyone else also has to love and want to be around your dog. I'm afraid of most big dogs and if I had to routinely encounter them at work, I'd be looking for a different job. I'm also very allergic to them and despite taking allergy meds every day, I'd be miserable with dogs in a shared space I couldn't escape.

What's your favourite quality about yourself?

Got it, thanks!

It's a little funny to me that you asked this question because a few years ago, I remarked to my partner that I don't like orange cats (in general) and she jokingly called me a cat racist. I felt so guilty about it that I was like I HAVE TO START LOVING ALL CAT APPEARANCES EQUALLY. I still feel a little guilty about it tbh 😂

Anyway, my actual answer is that black and white cats are my favourite. But I can now accept that orange cats have an allure for some folks 😆 I did know an orange cat who was lovely and I liked him a lot. Just if faced with the choice of multiple cats with personalities suited to mine, I'd pick the black and white one first.

I love the Storygraph. The stats are awesome and have helped keep me interested in reading at times when my attention has waned.

Yikes, that's really steep and puts a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, tbh. :(

I love this! The joy on his face is infectious.

Mantra:

  • A former coach used to say to us, "If you cut corners in practice, you'll cut corners in games. If you cut corners in games, you'll cut corners in life." It's a good reminder to do things right whenever and wherever you can. Every action you take is training your brain!

Product-wise:

  • I swear by Dorset Cereals' muesli lmao. It is such a small thing but I absolutely love all the flavours and recommend them to everyone I know. If I were a different sort of person, I'd be approaching them for a brand deal, what with all the word-of-mouth advertising I do for them 😂

  • I also swear by my Blundstones. They're great for walking, they always keep my feet dry in my very moist city, and they have lasted me really well so far.

I like gesture controls on my Pixel. It took me a bit to adjust, too, but now I can't go back. My biggest gripe is that swiping from the right side of the screen will go back or exit an app instead of letting me go forward (thinking of Chrome specifically). Also, it can be hard to crop images because the gesture area conflicts with the edge of a lot of images.

I think that the lack of further attempts backs up what lj shared a bit ago in the Discord. That's still a hell of a lot of tracking for folks who can't or don't want to pay, though.

I think that's an ideal setup. I have learned a lot from my partner because we are so different in what we like. :)
