Sorry, it was the 7th last year. I forgot it falls on the first Monday of August each year.
It's a civic holiday that celebrates the founding of Halifax and Dartmouth, but all of Nova Scotia now celebrates it as a civic holiday. Most provinces have their own version falling on the same day, but as a Nova Scotian, I'm biased. The Nova Scotia flag or our tartan patterned onto the Lemmy symbol would be a way to go. The bluenose, and Peggy's Cove lighthouse are also well known icons, but probably harder to incorporate. You could also go with a blue nose, as we're known as Blue Nosers (named after a potato), but that might be confusing.
I heard David Samson (former president of the Miami Marlins) suggest that he wants the advertisers to all bail so that he can entice his sycophants to boycott the companies who pulled their ad revenue.
He suggested that if you have the type of f-you money to waste that Musk does, then it's simply an ego move. He's not going to succeed with XTwitter so he might as well let it burn, and scorch as many people as he can in the hopes of getting petty revenge on those who crossed him.
Oh same note too! If you dare start doing something before you've gotten those bags ok'd, or if you plunk down a bag before it prompts you to do so it's like you're committing a felony.
I would've but I had just spent an hour getting a cart full of groceries and I wasn't about to go do that again somewhere else. Plus I couldn't imagine, at the time, they'd be gone that long.
Even worse, here in Canada at the Sobeys owned stores, you can opt to use your own reusable bag (plastic grocery bags are now outlawed) but if you do they prompt an employee to come check your bags. They never actually check, but if there isn't an attendant around you just have to wait there until they notice and end the prompt. I waited for 10 minutes the other day because the employee went off for a break or something.
I'll have you know that's Coke brand flour. He's sniffing it for quality assurance. He picked up the bad habit of piling it on the table from Tony. Get your mind out of the gutter!
In the larger sense, yes the owners tend to exhibit the behaviour that of an asshole.
In the context of what the previous commenter was saying, however, the employees would have to confront the individuals bringing in the food, and for what they are paid, they might rather not bother dealing with a potentially unruly patron. The patron in this case, should they exhibit such unruly behaviour (though still less ashole-ish than the owners), still exhibit asshole-ish characteristics, relative to the poor minimum wage employee who's just trying to do their job.
I remember reserving a copy and renting it the first day it came into the local video store. If memory serves, it came out during our March break from school and I played that game all day every day for the entire break. It was magical.
For documenting the accurate number of hours I worked, in a teaching lab. The department head didn't believe that the lab I taught (as a grad student) needed the hours it was given. Keep in mind, I had to do everything for the lab: create the lab manual, design lab activities, get ethics approval, create lab lectures, setup and clean up the lab, and do all the marking.
Turns out, the department used that document to pay me. This was never explained to me, usually we just get paid the set amount of hours, and I was of the understanding that this was just an audit of my hours to justify what I was getting. Turns out I worked about an extra 30% of the hours set for that lab for the semester. As a result, the department couldn't fully pay me until the following year because they didn't have it in their budget to pay for that extra 30%.
I ended up getting an ear full from the department head, but he backed off when I told him I was simply doing what he asked and that I wasn't inflating the numbers to get higher pay, since I had no idea they intended to pay me based on that audit.
Perhaps it's coincidence, or perhaps it was petty revenge, but later that year at gathering of the faculty and grad students he announced that I had won a major scholarship (one that would've paid pretty well for a grad student), and had me stand up in the crowd along with the other winners. Then, immediately after the assembly, he runs up to our lab office to tell me he read the sheet wrong and I hadnt actually won the scholarship, he just read the wrong name. I spent the next few days shamefully having to explain to everyone that, no I didn't get the award.
