AonEne Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Anytime. Feel free to PM me as well. It makes me sad whenever someone I know (though I admittedly don't know you that well) is having problems. I like trying to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's one of the selling points for 750words.com. Although I pay for that site, I think it's over-priced---free alternatives include writehoney.com and 3pages.fr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truthweaver Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Last Thursday Ontario Library Services got its budget cut by 50%...because of this they've decided to end their interlibrary loan service which let libraries from all over Ontario share materials with each other. This service was extremely important for libraries, especially rural ones with limited collections, and as someone who works in a small public library I honestly don't know what we'll do without it. We used interlibrary loans for book clubs, helping students with research, getting rare materials, etc. It was vital. If any Canadian sharders out there would be willing to sign this petition here and possibly consider sharing it, that would be awesome.

Truthweaver Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 @AonEne @AonDii I think the best thing would be to raise awareness through social media. The more people who know how this affects libraries, the better chance we have of getting the cuts reversed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Libraries unable to fully serve their community? I think I can do something about that. ... *some time later* Okay, so redesigning the province's logo didn't help. But I've got a really good feeling about a license plate rebrand... I jest. Of course I'll sign that petition. I love my local library to bits, but it's a wee little thing. I can picture quite vividly the detrimental effect this change will have on its ability to operate. On the bright side, every librarian I've ever known has been knowledgeable, articulate, and dang good at working miracles. In a showdown, I'd bet on them any day over that guy who's basically the opposite of those traits. He doesn't stand a chance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthweaver Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 @Archer Thanks for your support! It means a lot to library staff when our patrons advocate for us. I have a feeling we'll get interlibrary loans back in some way, shape, or form...but probably not as extensively as we had previously. What really bothers me is that they didn't even consult libraries before slashing the budget of our services organization. And to add insult to injury, one of the ministers called them "arms-length agencies that don't have an impact on the day-to-day operations of libraries." Well, our book clubs are pretty much dead now, but thanks anyway for that reassuring statement. On the other hand we get a new province slogan and new license plates! Woohoo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyndlerunner Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Ok, so this is gonna sound really strange- but I put off getting my driver's licence for a couple of years, so now I have to go through Range at my local school. It's been giving me so much anxiety- and not for the obivous reasons. I feel like the kids are internally judging me for being so old- I feel like I'm trying to order off of the Kid's Menu after I turned 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with getting your license later; I'm putting mine off too. I bet more people do it than you think! The others might be confused, but I doubt many judge you, and if any do...they're obviously slontzes. You're a cool human being, and if they don't bother to act like polite individuals, then that'll just hurt them later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get my licence until many years after it was 1st possible for me to get it. It is nothing to be ashamed of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 An otherwise good supervisor is asking me to do some potentially illegal and hazardous things. Now I have to leave and find a new job. Again. I actually liked this company too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draginon Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Not sure where to put this. I'm confused by the reason people are giving for why the upcoming Mickey Mouse ride at Disney World is being delayed to next year. Everyone is saying because the technology is new but it's just a trackless ride system with screens. It's not even the first time they've dabbled with this system since it's used for Pooh's Hunny Hunt at Tokyo (open since 2000) and the Ratatouille ride in Paris. Heck it's not even expensive to add or program since Sea World has one and many other theme parks with budgets smaller than Six Flags. So since they've used the system for 4 rides already and a cheap theme park can program these with no hassle what's the jig with Disney Florida? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
