do agencies check stds
qwertyaccount replied to pandacrazy's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Even if they did check, wouldn't it result with the same sort of issues with drug testing in the government and "corporate America" - getting tested with someone else's pee, getting someone else to take the test for you, etc. Even with full and honest testing, there are no guarantees in life other than taxes and death. Everyone needs to be careful, especially with "civilians" who don't always take the precautions they should. Fortune cookie proverb: "Prepare for bad times and you will only know good times" -
Would you find this insulting?

When dealing with others, I think you're bang on! It's probably just me, but unless I'm really off in left field I would like my friends to stick up for me against others, but to me I want them to be true. I want to have the rose colour glasses ripped off my head, be called out on my BS, and made to realize it when I'm wrong, otherwise how would I ever know I was wrong, learn and grow. -

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2011/10/nokias-prostitute-phone-joins-ranks-bungled-brand-names/44164/ Nokia's 'Prostitute' Phone Joins Ranks of Bungled Brand Names Nokia's hot new smart phone, the Lumia, is a little hotter than the corporation's South American marketers probably desired: It translates to "prostitute" in Spanish. The Finish cell phone maker is not alone in inadvertently entertaining speakers of different languages when they launch new products. Some past highlights: Apple's Siri The artificially-intelligent fembot on the new iPhone 4S is a great feature. But in Japan it comes off as a little odd. Siri translates to "Rump, ass, bottom." Clairol's "Mist Stick" Hair products giant Clairol had a problem selling its "Mist Stick" curling iron in Germany. How come? The word "mist" is German for "manure" or "excrement." Not something you wanted around your hair. Mitsubishi Pajero This Japanese sports utility vehicle was named after the Leopardus pajeros, a cat native to a southern region of Argentina. Unfortunately, the term pajero is commonly used as "wanker" in Spanish. It's alternatively marketed now as the Mitsubishi Montero. Good call. Sega The popular video game maker SEGA had a problem in Italy: "sega" is a widely used name for male masturbation. Cleverly, the videogame maker altered the pronunciation to "see-ga" when it was marketing in the country. Problem solved! Chevy Nova Wrong: Trick answer! Thought it's widely-believed that the Chevy Nova sold poorly in South America because its name translates to "no go," the rumor has been debunked by Scopes.com, noting that this would be like dinette set failing in America because it's called Notable. "The truth is that the Chevrolet Nova's name didn't significantly affect its sales: it sold well in both its primary Spanish-language markets." Fresca In Mexico, Fresca is a word for lesbian. It's been the source of cheap laughs in Mexico but it hasn't reportedly hurt sales. That's consumer tolerance! Maybe the Nokia Lumia will have similar luck? The Coors 'Turn it loose!' campaign This campaign was working magnificently in the U.S. for beer giant Coors. Unfortunately, when marketed to Spanish-speaking countries the meaning translates to "Suffer from Diarrhea."

I couldn't have said it better that WIT. Getting paid $30+ an hour to do an $8/hr job isn't so bad, especially since it is their working and eating area, and not someone elses. Perhaps if he makes too big a stink of such a reasonable request, and since the work is complete ahead of time, they might do some number crunching and figure out that the welders are scheduled for too many hours or that they don't need as many welders as before, and the whiney ones tend to be the first to go. Maybe this was middle management's way of keeping the excess labour info from upper management and doing the crew a big favour. -

Tiffany Amber - 1000 Posts!
qwertyaccount replied to a topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Congratulations Tiffany, I look forward to your next 1000! -
After clicking the "Reputation for this post" area and the entry box pops up, sometime, at least on my system, when you start to type the box disappears. I've found a work around. Instead of clicking "Reputation for this post", right-click it and select either "Open in new tab" or "Open in in window". The entry box then opens in it's own tab/window, and you can type & submit it. A weird screen follows, but that's OK, you can just close the tab/window.

Would you date me?
qwertyaccount replied to JuliasUndies's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
That's an easy question and a hard one at the same time. It's easy to blurt out a yes or no, when speaking hypothetically, and it's hard to think things though and come up with what my true reaction would be. At the end, my answer has to be I don't know and won't know until asked genuinely.
