Baileys

I prefer
TGIF’s Mudslide, they sell them at LCBO, very good on the rocks… it’s a toned down Bailey’s but much more affordable (like 11 bucks for 40 oz)

have gotta come out to Vancouver. There’s a place downtown, overlooks english bay, that’s $20 all you can eat sushi with the best tuna sashimi I’ve ever had. Throw in a beer and you’ve got yourself a yummy tummy full of sushi for less than $30.

I miss Vancouver sushi.
There’s a pretty decent all-you-can-eat place on the Danforth in Toronto that I always go to when I’m home.
“Decent” and “all-you-can-eat” don’t seem to go together out here…
there are two decent places in London, Harmony House and Manderine Chinese buffet, Maderine has a few other restaurants elsewhere.

I never ate real chinese until I moved to Vancouver and then I didn’t know what I was eating. Thanks to having a Mandarin across from my highschool, where we would go once a week for the $8 buffet my last year of highschool.

Understandable
I ski’ed for 8 years, took me more then a fair share of tumbles and near-broken bones to make the switch but I find it much more entertaining, maybe its because of the extra challenges.
With all the snow so far though I am hoping the hills will open early this season (although I’ve been hearing rumours that Horseshoe Valley and St. Louie/Moonstone opened this past weekend).

How can you like mushrooms unless they are of the shiitake variety or maybe portobello but button mushrooms? Sick.

Leafs Calendar
Someone here was asking about Leafs calendars – I forget who.
Anyway I had an email from costco today with their usual flyer stuff and one of the items was “$3 off NHL Personalized Calendars” and the example is of the Leafs. Unfortunately when I clicked on the link, it sent me to their photo centre page, so perhaps it isn’t set up yet.
Looks like it could be a good calendar, although I don’t know about substituting your name on the back of jerseys is acceptable.
NEVER
ever acceptable. Ever.

oh...
some of these games, designed by lifetime gamers, are beyond redonkulous…
they forget that simplicity and accessibility are better bets to longterm playability. it’s the story that should be complex, not the execution of the controls…
i’ve given up on a few games in my time, specifically because i could not grasp the controls well enough. not sure why a game designer thinks it’s a good idea for you to need a manual for controller set ups.
point, click, shoot. that seems to work best for me…

Even still, there is a large segment of the gaming population that is so hard core it boggles the mind. They want nearly impossible games because not much else gives them a challenge!

I still need to get Rock Band 2. Of course, I haven’t really gotten all I can out of Rock Band the first yet either. I think Little Big Planet is next on the list.
We were on CoD for a ridiculous amount of time last night. The roommate and I kept trading off. Were you LBPing or RBing?
The really awesome thing about rock band 2 is that you can import almost all (except 3) songs from the first game for about $5 (some licensing fee crap).
Great deal because pretty much everything about the RB2 experience is better than the first, just a lot more user friendly. Having all the music from the first just makes it all the more fun! Not sure if that is the case on ps3 or just xbox360 though.
Plus it lets you play through in tour mode using whatever instrument, so I do bass for when I’m feeling lazy..
by LeafFanInVan on Nov 25, 2008 5:23 PM EST up reply actions
I appreciate that they’re trying to better the overall experience for the PS3, but the 360 does seem to kick its ass that way quite regularly.
Ah well, at least there’s finally trophies on the PS3!
not sure...
if it’s the same in canada, but amazon.com is apparantly going to have 1000 PS3’s +1 game available for $199 on friday…
some deal about voting for the correct bundle, and your name (if you’re an existing amazon customer) could get picked with first dibs on the deal.
i voted, now, fingers crossed, i get a shot at one.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was amazing. My friend Eric and I decided that people in relationships hated Sarah Marshall. So I totally recommend it. And Russell Brand is wonderful.
Have you seen the trailer on youtube for Jay and Seth Versus the Apocalypse? I hope that movie happens. The language in the trailer is NSFW.

"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Because
I have to redo all the work i did 2 weeks ago, because the stupid Layout people hadn’ t set anything up and they wouldn’t match what I did for architectural, and now I am trying to set up my viewports only the stupid viewbox won’t correspond to my proper UCS. And the layer structure here is retarded, so I can’t just turn off the layers I don’t want, I have to cut the 3D model to see what I want to see. Soooooo frustrating!

I am the only person who will (or at least should) ever touch the architectural drawings, so I can do whatever I want.
But they’d better get me my proper program soon, or I’m gonna rage. This 3D model is so inaccurate, and I don’t have the time to rebuilding it in lame old regular AutoCAD.
It’s a good thing I’m pickier about drawings than my boss!

At my office, the cad technicians complain about the engineers, the engineers complain about the contractors and the contractors complain about the engineers…
we seem to be at the butt end of everything… thankfully I’m in pavement engineering (specifically pavement investigations) so I don’t have to deal with anything like that
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
isn't that every office?
cad technicians are constantly redrawing things, so of course it’s the engineers fault.
The contractors never build things the way the engineer draws them, so the engineers complain.
The contractor’s usually think the engineers design for something is over complicated or impractical, so they complain about the engineers.
It is the circle of life, and it will go on.
I just want to start out organized and this whole project’s a mess, it’s awful. Our project manager chopped our spec to bits without telling anyone and 2 weeks later we found out that what the client had actually seen was not what we wrote.
But it’ll come around… half of my office are new hires in the attempt to pull things together, so now it’s just a learning curve and we’ve got at least 6 mos till the next project so it’ll be fine.

That’s a lot of new people at once. How big is your company? I wouldn’t be surprised if mine tries to buy out yours soon… we’ve been doing that a lot.

1200, I think. We’re undergoing a major restructuring as well, but I hope there’s no buyout. I like my position and I have one person I may have to fight in the future but so far, that’s it. There’s only 2 other people in the whole company that, in theory can do what I can do, but not in practice. I just need some time to establish myself and it’ll be sweet.

Yea I’ve been at Stantec for about 13 months now. They are okay, yea the pay is nothing to toot any horns about but I can’t complain since I was a fresh grad with zero work experience. I’m waiting to see what kind of raise I get for next year.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)

I used to get emails from the Stantec Vancouver buildings group a lot when they send out group emails, someone must’ve gotten me mixed up since my last name is rather common.
This is just getting weirder and weirder.

does your office allow alcohol?
I heard rumours that the Vancouver one is the only one…
by Karina on Nov 25, 2008 3:46 PM EST up reply actions
I work
in the Mississauga office, we’re pretty small, bout 60 people only… they do a little office gathering every 3 months or so where they serve wine (and beer) and cheese and cake and stuff, and the purpose is for people to mingle and chat in a more relaxed and causal office atmosphere, and to introduce new people and stuff
My friend went to the Winnipeg office for a week and he said after work they would have a BBQ in the office parking lot every day during the summer and have beer and stuff. I don’t think Vancouver is the only one, this is Canada after all.
I did spend my first 7 months in the Kitchener office (regional HQ for southern Ontario) and that was depressing as hell, most of the office was in the basement.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Ahhh
the rumours were false then. That was the best part of working there, the alcohol was pretty free flowing at times. Plus I was friends with the facilities manager, who is in charge of it, so we could always raid her office when we felt we needed it.
by Karina on Nov 25, 2008 3:50 PM EST up reply actions
Yea
The office here is nice.
The company’s okay, I’ve known it is a faceless corporation since day one, but I couldn’t be too picky since there weren’t a lot of takers for a fresh Eng grad with no experience. My main goal is to get my 4 years required work experience and get my P.Eng, make project manager, get enough experience and go work for the Ministry Transportation Ontario and live off kick backs and slush funds.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
MTO is awesome
both my dad and brother worked there.
Project Manager, eh? Yeah, I was sunk, since at stantec in the architecture department there’s never been a female PM. My boss was pushing for it, but it wasn’t pretty (she’s far, far more competant than the PM they currently have, and they know it, but they won’t give her the title, just his work while he sits there and twiddles his thumbs).
by Karina on Nov 25, 2008 3:54 PM EST up reply actions
That
is a real problem, we only have one female PM in our group (Infrastructure Management and Pavement Engineering) out of… I dunno, many, all males.
My boss is grooming me to be one to potentially replace him, there’s another female engineer who started shortly after I did and I am sure they are grooming her to be a PM as well.
It’s definitely an issue in the entire industry.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
3%
if you’re lucky.
I pushed them and they went up fairly high, for them, but what some people there get paid is pathetic.
I loved it there, most of the time, but just got tired of it and needed a break. I may go back.
Oh, and BTW, as long as you’re not streaming stuff on the internet (they monitor that from Edmonton, I know someone who got caught) they don’t really check what websites you’re on.

My boss
Treats me real well. I got a 3% raise last December even though I only started in October… and during my CDPR review my boss said he’s going to push real hard to give me a big bump on my raise.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
My boss
was the best part of Stantec as well. Honestly, the level I’m at is far beyond my few years experience because she was such an awesome mentor.
They need to figure out what a CDPR is for, a few of my friends had been told that it was not the time to discuss a raise, whereas I was told it was the perfect time.
The coolest thing is that this year’s christmas party is at the Vancouver Aquarium. Our social comittee kicked ass (and are my friends so I get extra invites as well :P)

I still
can’t believe you used to work for Stantec…
We don’t have an office party for Mississauga, we just join the Toronto office for their party… except I never got an invite… my PC is actually based out of Kitchener and my boss and I are the only ones from our PC here (since he lives in Sauga and I’m closer to Toronto)… so I’m kind of in office-limbo really.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Haha
to be honest, it was a great place to start out and get my foot in the door. And they were really great about recognizing the fact that I get bored quickly and so they moved me up pretty quickly to accomodate that. It just got to the point where I hated getting up to go into work every day, and one of the guys I used to work with had come here and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
Any word on the Tony’s replacement?
by Karina on Nov 25, 2008 4:07 PM EST up reply actions
Yea
They picked his replacement already, lemme dig up the email and see who it was, I saw the name but didn’t bother reading it.
And yes, they are fairly good with development here, but again that really depends on the luck of the draw and who you get as your supervisor, but hey they pay for all the licensing and examination fees for my P.Eng so I can’t complain.
Ah yes, Robert Gomes is the next President and CEO of Stantec. Funny, we got an email from Tony on Monday that Stantec has made an offer to buyout Jacques Whitford (fairly big geotechnical/environmental engineering firm), that was the company my boss left less then 3 years ago to come here for hahaha, he still can’t believe it.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
hehe
Everyone who worked for Stantec ends up coming back, either voluntarily or via buy-out.
Thus I have made peace with the fact that one day, I will return.
