  1. My full time job pays my bills and I do get a t4 slip from them. The grass cutting only something to do a couple of hours a week. I live off of that and pay my bill off of that, I am not buying brand new hummers and new houses paying cash saying that I saved the money. The odd jobs I do are only a couple of hours a week just enought to put alittle gas in the vehicle or buy some beer with. I am not trying to buy a hummer and pay cash for it, those people get caught. I know a few that have and gotten caught. I talking earning maybe 20 to 30 extra a week. A hobby!
  2. Well now that I have had a few, one other thought is. If the guy is got caught then that is his problem and not PrettyPaige22. All she has to say is yes he spent time with me and hang up, or simply reply to email in such a way. She is providing a very VALUABLE service and any guy who get caught by his wife or S.O. is his problem, and she could personally black list them and not see them ever again. From a single guy perspective, it is our responsibility to protect our own secrets and private life and if our activities as a hobiest causes a problem then too bad so sad, you should have been more proactive at protecting your privacy.
  3. Thanks antlerman never though of the free stuff from the employment office. Additional though that my accountant advised me of year ago. Since I have a full time job that provides me with my income which I live off of. If i had a hobby (cutting grass shoveling snow) that is tax freee income that I do not have to claim. The odd job that I do is just a distraction from my job and play money and a backup if I were to quit in a fit of madness or get laid off. it is steady income no matter what the odd jobs do. I want a steady income it certainly helps with the bank with loans and such. Where self employement does not look as good to them any way. Thanks guy have a good weekend.
  4. I don't live or work in the city of Ottawa I live between 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours outside the city depending on destanation and traffic of course. Dummpy There is nothing wrong with cutting grass, shoveling snow (odd jobs) I have been doing that since 1985. The only problem is that it is not steady work every year. Some year you have to look at more work and more work means more equipment and more equipment means more work. Other years, kind of like this ones is starting out, the grass does not stop growing and if you take to much work the no time off. This job I currently have provides me with a steady income regardless of what the odd jobs does or does not do and is the only employment since high school. I am tired of working 2 jobs 16 to 20 hours day 6 days a week. The last 3 year I have enjoyed time to my self, time for fishing, spending some time friends go for a beer with the boys. I have had this job way to long and need to get out to clear my head, I am tired of playing the game, tired of all the bs. Antlerman Never thought of that one, the boss sure does like her and called her when the past supervisor gave his notice, he wants to keep her in the mix. So where in the Ottawa area or on the internet can i get training. I am looking for Forklift, Fall arrest, WHIMS. Any other suggestions as to what training would help my marketability. Here is what I have found Forklift -Greater Ottawa Truck Training -Ideal Forklift Training Fall Arrest - Multi Trek WHIMS - Virtual Whims - Norcat - National Safety Council Do you know of any place else to get this training or one stop shopping for it all. I have First Aid CPR & AED already Thanks guys
  5. Thanks Shypilot Just the way I look at it. By him not interviewing me told me that I have no place in the company sad really after 17 years. His loss!
  6. Well no more replies no interview nothing. The shop Stewart had been promoted to lead hand on temporary basses the memo says. I will be getting some additional training for my resume and looking for other employment.
  7. Whats in it for her? What comes to my mind right away if this lady goes to the wife what will she say? Your husband has been cheating on you. (She had better duck quick). If this lady does say anything she will likely get the brunt of the anger then the husband. If the wife already suspects and has her friend watching the friend would have would have already gone to the wife and told her. Simply delete and ignor the email, I would not mark it as spam you want information if this lady happens to send it your way. maybe you can figure out who the client is.
  8. Do a google search on USB Web Surfing. There are some programs that can be used from a USB Flashdrive that provide portablity and privacy. A second cell phone or sim card can provide a mesure of privacy, but how does one explain a second cell phone or sim card.
  9. Bille Piper She played on Doctor who a few years ago She is one hot number I wish..................................
  10. Some good points I got a reply from my email. I surprised him he that i would apply said he, tried to tell me that the position was offer to me once before and I was not interested then, and the this position was outside of the union and that I might want to consider it. He stated that under the circumstances that he would be posting the position although he did not have to do so, because he did not want to over look any one who may wish to apply and that if I did reapplied that he would interview all who apply. Of course I replied to the email. Thanked him for his reply and stated that I had never been offered the position before and that he must be mistaking me for some one else. and that the only other time the position was known to be available that I did apply but he hired outside the company for the position. I thanked him again for his consideration and said that I looked forward to talking with him. I may just drive up and hand in my resume to him in person with the written recommendation from the past supervisor along with it. Thanks for all the great advice.
  11. Thanks for the advice too true comments, that what I was thinking but We have been with out a supervisor before and it was 9 months from hell. I will not go through that ever again, Which is part of the reason we now have a union. I guess the whole situation is just a flash back. A freind in BC told me pretty much the same thing that you guys have said. Well since the owner of the company is 2 - 3 hours away and only get up here 2 or 3 time a year handing him my resuem in person is not possible. I emailed him my resume today with delivery and read receipts, the best I can do for now. What I finally decided is this, I need to know what the chances for advancement are with in the company. 17 years experience has got to count for something I do have things to offer the company. If there are no chances the owner has made a big mistake and is just using me and wasting my time, I will find another job quickly. Any one need grass cut, Let see rate will cut grass for sex (with females only get your mind out of the gutter!!!!!!) Thanks
  12. Hello all, Would like your advice. I have been at my current job for small employer for the past 17 years since High school although the pay has always been low it has allowed me to work along side my father cutting grass and shoveling snow. My father is now cutting back on the amount of work He takes due to his age and some minor health (cannot stand the heat of the summer) problems. My partner and supervisor left for another job last Friday 13 was his last day. We work for a contractor at a manufacturing plant, and no the plant is not hiring, we only staff enough people to cover one the person per shift 24/7. The person currently working in the supervisor's time slot is the Senior Shop Stewart. She has only been with the company for 2 years and wants the job really bad (power hungry). At first it looked like she was going to get either the supervisor's job or have a new position created for her. The new position would be of Lead hand which would allow her to stay in the union, but allow her to do more, and have no real power. My supervisor who just left recommend me for the job, because of my experience and he feels I can more than handle it and I was asking questions when he first told me that he would be leaving. He told me on his last day that he gave me the recommendation and that the owner of the company told him that the Senior Shop Stewart is not getting the position and was looking for a new Supervisor. She is starting to act like she has a lock on the position, contact this person formating a document to sending weekly report to the owner and want to post memos....... I am starting to get the feeling that she might just get the job. I am not totally happy at the job so I was going to go looking anyway but thought that If I could get the supervisors job for 6 months to 1 year it would be a nice way to end this career. As far as the grass cutting and snow removal I have no problem doing it but if no snow falls or grass does not grow one had no money coming in. Not sure what to do? Should I send in a resume to the owner for the position? OR should I look to add skills to my resume and apply and get out? OR both? OR.....................Damn I need a woman! As I am sure you can tell I am a little scared, this in reality has been my only job other that odd jobs during school. Any advice would be helpfully. Thanks

  14. Answer all calls Acme Communications Center, to whom may would you like to leave a message for? Pretend you are an answering service taking messages for people. If you always answer calls it that way your clients will get to know how to answer the question. Any one else who asks for more information and pushes it tell them Privacy laws prevent us from releasing any information on our clients. If anyone wishes to sign up just tell them that they either need a referral from an existing client or are we not accepting new business at this time due to system limitations.
  15. Cat, I took no offense to your comments. They were obviously made be someone whom is passionate, and I do appreciate your directness. My thoughts were that only of the issues that antlerman pointed out in his first post. In writing my post I failed to understand the implications of what I was writing and did not look at the whole picture. I will try better in the future. Humm.........Interesting!
  16. cat, Very good point, I stand corrected. I never considered this when I made the statement that a black list was a review board. Sorry if I made anyone one mad that was not my intention. I like the idea of a white and Grey list. From a personal stand point if my name had made it to a gray list it would be nice to know about it, just in case like this one where a mistake in identify could easily be made.
  17. We see it.............. We read it............... but do we really understand what we are seeing and reading? antlerman (I sure hope i spelled that right) has a good point in try to clear up the confusion. I think that any of us would do just that same. Boards like these are a benefit to all, we as hobbyist learn by our experiences and from the reviews we post and read. It is not so hard for me to see that the ladies the might just review us hobbyist as well. A far as the blacklist is concerned for me it is just another review board. I too hope that it stays open to the public that way one can learn by what has been posted.
  18. Like anything else it is a relationship that has to be developed, once trust and respect are developed between two people anything is possible, but until it is all about initial comfort level for both involved. If your neighbors are busy bodies that cannot keep there nose out of your personal and private life then be careful. If they seem friendly and talk in passing and go about there lives than who is visiting you on your personal private property in none of anyones business.
  19. Woman! Oh boy There are some that are really nice ones out there that a man just wishes for a longer term relation ship with. then there are others.................. Thank god I Single!
  20. I fell hard for a RMT Friends Sister. I bought a new Family vehicle thinking that I had a real chance. needless to say her husband or should i say ex-husband and boyfriend (teacher from College) were in my way. Thank god for Friends he told me that his sister plays men, and told me to run fast! Thanks Buddy! he saved my life or at least a lot of $$$$
  21. Can not get business if they don't advertise some where. I take it that they would not put an ad on the front door. How many fake ads or picture are out there? On the Internet there is a certain amount of deny-ability about stuff being there.
  22. Yeah I supose If I had bother to think about it I might have been able to come up with that myself. oop's...I must be Brain dead.
  23. Who were the other two girl does any one know? Do they play together?
  24. Everyone has the right to choose weather we agree with it or not it is simply their choice. Weather they are a Sp/Mp or hobbyist.
