#Team30°CFeelsLike45°C is where all the kool kids are at. I wish it would rain at night instead of day, it ruins such perfect weather.
criesofthepast is some kind of deranged person who loves it. He tries to curse us with it.
I know Kuro is #teamwarm but I'm unclear on his stance on humidity.
Edit: apparently You Are Viewtiful is also deranged.
Might as well call it #teamnotpossibleintoronto

So I talked to someone and the manager Martin of Wvrst doesn't work there or hasn't for a while. If you guys wanna head to Loose Moose I can provide some bigger hookups. Yes, Kuro I have all the connects. Shut up.
Thank god for the rain, it will wash away the filth that is teamwarm.

Isn't that where Jayhawk tried to send us for that computer parts firesale event... It was a trap!
I would rather take dry heat over humid any day!
And let me complain :0 Teamwarm whined and moaned all through winter and we had to listen. Teamwinter only whines for 3 months ;D

Thank god I'm out of the city that day.
You're making me rethink my decision to go into work that day. We have the option to take Monday off (almost everyone will be) because Canada Day is Tuesday (we get it off no matter what or else they have to pay us double) so I might make it a four-day weekend. Only problem is the loss of one day of pay.

Anyone have any advice for resolving a bylaw ticket?
I got nailed for having my dog off leash back in March. He was in fact off leash in Dieppe Park. There's sort of a de facto off leash area there (dogs are running around there every day) but I got unlucky and happened on the day when a bylaw guy came around.. I suspect a parent called and complained, as there are lots of kids in this park, although the playground is way on the other side and it's a big park.
Anyways.. this was still winter mind you so it was very snowy, really no one there in the winter months... I entered the park, looked around and saw it empty, so I let my dog off. I was about 20 steps into the park. Turned around and saw Bylaw Guy pointing a cellphone at me and thought, Oh Shit.
I immediately called out to him and said "Oh hey, should I leash him? Sorry I wasn't aware?" and he replies "No, just hang on a sec.... " and I think.. oook... and he proceeds to ask me about the dog's registration (which I had). I was very polite but I knew what was coming, but at the same time annoyed that I could have simply complied if he had just warned me. Of course my dog is licking his hand and being a goofball during this process, menace that he is.
He urged me to show up for the court date (strongly implying that he would not, and therefore it would get thrown out.. of course he didn't say that).
The fine on the ticket was $500. Yes. Holy shit.
My scheduled date was one I couldn't make (we were out of the country for 3 weeks) so I took my one reschedule to meet for an "Early Resolution Meeting" which is today.
The fine seems insane. It's a higher fine than I would have paid for parking in an handicapped spot. Also the listed fines online seem to be $250, not $500, so I don't know WTF is up.
Basically I'm going to admit to the offence but plead for a lower fine because that seems crazy.
If I get nailed I am calling up Mary Fragedakis and getting an off leash area installed in Dieppe. I will make it my mission. Actually I think I will do this at any rate. There isn't a single off leash area anywhere in Ward 29. Closest one to me is a 25min walk down to Monarch Park (each way).
Just wondering if any of you had any experience with this... thanks. I understand the need for the law of course but it's a bit hard to swallow when your dog is a total sweetheart that plays with 2-3 year olds on a regular basis.

Ontario GAF, I kinda need your help with a predicament... I've been working in Vancouver for the past year and a half. A company I worked for in Ottawa a few years ago emailed me last week, asking me if I'll be interested to work for them again...
I am obviously settled in Vancouver, I told them I'll be more than happy to get some part time freelance work (remotely) .. They emailed me back" That's cool and all but you have to be an Ontario resident for Tax benefits, otherwise we would've hired you."
This kinda bummed me out, I want to work with these guys, I have my parents in Toronto, and I always consider their place my permanent address, home base so to speak. I mean even my Ontario drivers licence, pretty much every kind of government issued ID is attached to that Ontario, Toronto address. Is there a way I can tell these guys negotiate something? Or it is not possible?

It's not your permanent place of resident though, right? Regardless of whether your parents or driver's licence is Ontario, when you file your taxes, it would say BC, correct? If there is a credit for them to hire someone in Ontario, it would make sense for them to do so. You could consult an accountant for confirmation though.
Coincidentally, that's how I felt about Ottawa when I visited there. TONS of white peeps and a distinct lack of colour. A lot of government workers...and a lot of homeless as well.
At the end of it all, you don't physically live in Ontario. Isn't there some rule being broken if you claim Ontario residence (despite having an address) without actually living here?
Lol that's actually one of my friends I highly doubt he uses this site.
