@CridgeJason What do your days look like?

[Max Young @Maxdyoung]

@CridgeJason Similar to now. Early morning Lift. Take kids to school. Hobby based on weather/seasons (bike, ski, rock climb etc…)
Pick kids up from school. Hang with kids, take them to their activities. Bedtime. Hot tub/read. Trade hobby time for project time as interests change.

@CridgeJason @MPelletierCIO I don’t get all the hate. As long as you are organized and buy passes early it’s reasonable. It can sting if the ski season is shortened like this year. My daughter and I ski a lot and our days at Whistler worked out to be cheaper than Mt. Washington on a per day basis this yr

@CridgeJason 2015-2020 post an add for entry level position: get 3 applicants, 1 no shows interview, 1 doesn’t respond after initial application, hire the last remaining one. 2022-2025: dozens of applicants with cover letters and follow ups apply to same entry level posting 🤷‍♂️

@CridgeJason How does that work?
I’m off grid on my bike often and rely on my inreach. Do new iPhones have iMessage that works when you have no cell signal?

This thread is a complete horror show of the general public’s understanding of how a business in general and the grocery industry works!!

@CridgeJason Hmmm. BMO quoted me 5-5.05 at the beginning of February on 2 year for owner occupier. Might have to check back in with them.

@khzny And in Victoria, we’ve declared it a snow day with schools closed and people working from home. Sorryest ‘snow day’ you’ll ever see.

@Pointsetti @LeoSpalteholz The proposed building besides Uplands Golf Course is absolutely not appropriate. This is Leo’s point. To me it’s not appropriate and the triplex in South Oak Bay is appropriate. To you the opposite. And then nothing gets built.

@CridgeJason Just got a GoPro to record the kids skiing and love it. Can’t speak to the other option. GoPro software super easy and makes a great highlight real afterwards and my 9 year old can use camera with no problems. It is heavier than I expected!

@shaneparrish Kinosaki for a highly unique cultural experience.
Not likely to see another tourist.
Do your homework as it might not be a fit for your teenage boys.
If you’re going for a cultural experience will hit different than Tokyo, Kyoto and the usual tourist hot spots in replies.

@CridgeJason Likely same in every ministry/department at all levels of government. Whole thing is a huge grift!
Not to diminish health care issues which are a complete dumpster fire!!

@CridgeJason Thai place on beacon is quite good.
Had take out from The Pier this past week and was really happy with it. Kids loved their meals!

$5 says you move back to Victoria/Oak Bay in next 10 years.

@robbfraser Having a good chuckle reading the replies. Are you going to bring back the mid height socks? I tried to place an order last night but you only have the crew height. They are a bit long for me.

@mattdellok I own a property 5 houses away. Our yard will look right at this proposed building. I fully endorse this project. The whole neighbourhood is ripe for higher density.
