Lets go to Phil's in Waterloo, if it still exists

Ewwwwww.

 

[BigJonsson]

Ewwwwww.

Does it still exist?

 

[The Elite]

Friend mentioned that Carl's Jr. closed all their Toronto locations.

So much for that.

Edit: I have been beat.

 

[krae_man]

I don't remember. I didn't pay attention last time I was down there. But I did notice Stanley Burger was gone and Forwells is a Macs.

 

[shadowkat]

Well... Uh, so much for my $2 shakes

According to a Toronto Star report, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) found that after three separate inspections, Azure Restaurant, in the Intercontinental Toronto Centre, had "misrepresented" or incorrectly described food items 20 times between 2013 and 2015.

Organic oatmeal was actually Quaker Harvest Crunch

lmao

 

[BigJonsson]

Good thing I went to Azure well before then lol

 

[Lexxism]

So the TTC needed $400 million more for the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension? lmao

 

[Cripplegate]

I didn't get to try the Carl's Jr. shakes, damn.

lmao

Wow, read the actual Toronto Star article. The list goes on and on and on. It's incredible.

Freshly squeezed orange juice, BC salmon... there is no end to the laughs.

 

[Divvy]

Gonna get Peking duck tomorrow

Dammit!

Talk about grimy. Some good times have been had at phils. But no matter what you feel dirty when you leave.


Stickiest floors ever and those dancing poles.....

I would consider it a fucking institution for Laurier and UW. Of course it's is still around.

 

[Kave_Man]

I'll pass on Phil's if it's still around.

I'm not a young university aged person anymore.

Oh definitely but it was a time when i was 19-20.

 

[KnightHart]

Huh, lost power for the first time in years. Almost everything half a block north of Yonge & Eglinton is out of power.

 

[Lexxism]

I can't believe the CEO still has his job. He should had been fired already.

You should pass in it regardless of age.

PSA: Cineplex is offering a deal for movie for only 500 scene points tommorow. Something about this Monday being the most saddest of the year?

Scotiabank Theater is the only nearby location to still have showtimes for Creed, so I'm going to watch it tommorow.

Blue Monday? Load of BS from one of Old Murdoch's ex-channels.

It is however an excellent New Order track.

Man. The school system is such a scam.


Just to apply for one school is 250. Plus additional costs of printing my work and giving it to them since they don't want it digitally. So in total it will cost me 400 to apply to one school, and no refunds, and I might not get in.


Also, not to shit on the colleges. Why is Sheridan and Humber the same price as ryerson? I mean. You would think a smaller college would be cheaper than one of the bigger universities. But nope, same price. Bizzare.

That's crazy. Has it gone up? I remember back in late 2013-early 2014 when I was applying, it was either UBC or UofT that was only $90. It may have been $110, but definitely not $250.

Sheridan is a university now and it's grown pretty big. It's pretty comparable to Ryerson.

I had 3 friends got to Sheridan for animation and it's a very competitive and prestigious program. They all came out successful. One works at ILM and the others are self employed.

 

[Sober]

Had Harvey's today, don't think I ever had it before.

Wasn't that special. Feel like I should've had something else though.

 

[zorbsie]

Was in Windsor this weekend. Went to Motor Burger. Good burger, great poutine. Anyone else try that place? I would rank it high up there with Toronto burger places. Also they brew their own beer. We need a burger joint that makes it's own beer.

That's the program I came out of too

Working on Disney shows now

Although the program was slowly going to shit before I graduated

 

[soultron]

Whoa, Sheridan is a university now? Damn. I always wanted to go there for illustration (and then animation) before my dad forced me to study engineering at McMaster. Still hope that if I win the lottery I can retire early and become a student there.

about how many rows back should you sit to get the best view in a Cineplex VIP theatre? Last time I went to VIP screening was years ago, can't remember how it's set up.

Sit either at the middle or the top. I sat at the top, and had a good view.

I was at the Don Mills location, and views don't seem to be a major issue, since the theatre's tightly packed (less seating, so there's no need for a wider space. Front seats have a recliner, so people can see properly.

At the Markham one the very back row is pretty damn good too.

Weekend was too short. Not ready to go back to the grind...

 

[ahdurian]

same

really annoyed at my work at the moment. they're changing a lot of the procedures and our workload is increasing to meet with the regulations that are being put on the bank.so what normally could take us a week, we have to get done in a day or so, otherwise it gets escalated to our department's director and/or vp.
coming back from a 2 day sick leave+ weekend, I knew that my coworkers weren't going to cover any of my work since they're jackasses when it comes to that. If they're away, i always at least try to make time to help out with their backlog. whenever I'm away though, they complain they're "too busy" to even try.
on top that of that, we got a new employee on Monday, and my managers asked me to train her.

didn't touch any of my work actual work at all during the actual work day. had to stay +2 hrs overtime everyday to just catch up on the stuff i had. didn't touch any of the new work they gave me from Wednesday on

It feels like the weekdays last 3 times as long and the weekends only half as long. Insane.

Which ILM studio is your friend at ? San Fran, Vancouver, London or Singapore ? Just curious because I worked at the Vancouver studio for a few years I graduated from Vancouver Film School and have heard only good things about Sheridan amongst the professional artists I interact with. Very cool that Toronto has a prominent art institute but I guess now it's now a university. Similar to Emily Carr University here in Vancouver, eh ?

Had something similar happen to me on Friday. Someone on my team transferred a ticket to another team without checking anything. Person on other team calls me because I actually know stuff and I tell him it shouldn't have gone to him so he should send it back to us. Tell my coworker exactly what to do and if he can fix it and he tells me to take care of it cause he's busy. I stand firm and tell him he's gotta learn from this and all he says is thanks for telling him but that I've already taken it and that I should finish it for him (wtf?). I assign it directly to him and tell the boss.

I need a change from this place...
