Oh no, they were actually here. And then they got loaded back on the truck.
Nobody told me I had to detach the old washer and dryer from the pedestals. Delivery guys wouldnāt do it. Wouldnāt wait for me to do it. Wouldnāt take them with the pedestals. Wouldnāt come back.
Loweās lost their minds. This is a third party delivery company.
Try again on Monday. Mike can deal with it. And if he tips them, Iāll kill him!

That's fascinating. Our government down here does not have unions, but some private companies do--just the opposite of Canada.

A couple of years ago we bought a dryer from Lowe's. The delivery guys were fairly useless--they were not employees of Lowes, but some private contractor. Hubs ended up correctly hooking up the dryer himself, and he had to get a different hose vent thing, because they brought the wrong one, as well!!
I feel your pain. But trust me, you wouldn't want those guys to do anything beyond what they were hired for, as they can't even handle that job.

I have one where I buy a giant house and most of the rooms are falling apart or unfinished. I could draw you a floorplan at this point as itās always the same house in the dream with the same shiny blue wallpaper and dirty long pile rugs (canāt use the 70s term - itās censored) in every room.
Actually they do - including the postal workers.

All they had to do was take away the old appliances, drop the new ones. Iāve got the Ski for hooking things up.A couple of years ago we bought a dryer from Lowe's.

They wouldnāt drop the new ones, because the old ones needed to be removed from their pedestal bases ... which NOBODY told me, or it would have been done.

CUPW (pronounced cup-W) - Canadian Union of Postal Workers is the union responsible for paid maternity leave being instituted.
Since then, paid leave time has tripled, and can be split between both parents. Iām not sure what Union is claiming credit for that.

I'm not seeing how that is fair unless they got that way while at work. (Workers Comp.) Do men get the equivalent time off with pay? That would be why it cost about $4. to mail a letter in Cananada.

Yes, men can split the āparentalā leave. I think itās up to 61 weeks combined between both parents, per birth. Not sure (but probably) the same amount applies to adoptive parents. The federal govāt will pay 55% of your wages.
Welcome to Canada - North Americaās soon to be Greece.
I think itās a buck to mail a letter. Not sure, as itās been FOREVER since I did. Stamps no longer have a dollar/cents amount depicted. A stamp is a stamp is a stamp, as long as youāre mailing to somewhere within Canada. When postal rates go up, old stamps are still worth the value of mailing a letter.
Google says it better:
The PERMANENTā¢ stamp, identified with the letter P in place of a value, is always accepted at the current domestic postage price. If you buy a PERMANENT stamp today, you can use it anytime in the future. One PERMANENT stamp can be used to mail a letter (weighing up to 30 grams) anywhere in Canada.
Does the glue taste like maple syrup?

You donāt have to lick them. Theyāre peel and stick.
The $100 bills smell like maple syrup though.
Sounds like a missed opportunity!You donāt have to lick them. Theyāre peel and stick.

What's really dumb is that those dreams for me are so unlike me. I was always the good girl, the prude, the one who was responsible and had the homework done, etc. I never would have forgotten a class or just not shown up. In high school, if I was running a bit late, I'd have been panicking, not casually making phone calls, folding laundry, watching TV, etc. Dream me is a bit of a jerk!

Huh?
O.k. So I did some digging, and they are federal employees but have unions. Never knew that before--surprised.

Teachersā Unions are the strongest unions in the country up here. It is virtually impossible to get fired once youāre in. They also happen to have the most lucrative pension funds.
I know US teachers are grossly underpaid. Here, not so much. Itās really a shame I realized I donāt like kids, and dropped out of University.
