Where is the prospering Nova Scotia economy? I look on teh job sites and I see so many jobs at fast food, retail etc that don't pay enough to live.

I have a job that "pays well" according to most people yet once I pay student debt (min payments, not even repaying the actual loan, so none of this "once its paid off you'll be fine".. since I cant even get to the principal) I am poor. I cant afford a movie, I can not afford healthy food, I can not afford even the sales racks at clothing stores, so I wear second hand clothes to this "well paying job". I worked my ass off for a uni degree and now I have nothing. Our government says this is the land of opportunity.. it sure is if you want to work at wendy's or montannas or any other minimum wage place.

I tried having a second job, then when tax time came aroudn they took back 98 percent of the money I made at the second job, and screwed me even worse.

I simply give up on Nova Scotia... I'm goign to make a "Alberta Bound" sign on the back of my diploma from SMU and kiss this economic shit hole good bye.

done

Two things:

1. If you are on a bicycle - you are part of traffic and need to obey traffic rules. That means don't fucking run a stop sign and give me the finger when I have to slam on my breaks so I don't cream you.

2. To the driver(s) honking behind me when I pause to let a pedestrian WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY cross the intersection, before making a right turn: screw you.

Trying to drive responsibly

Listen, I know it's hot and I am really sorry I had to ask the landlord for you to take down your AC. Only problem is it keeps LEAKING into my living room window. Not just a drippy drop, but a river. This morning I woke up to a lake on my living room floor and now my tv will not turn on and all the electrical wires are soaked and ruined.

So I knock on your door and you tell me I shouldn't be complaining to you and turn into a royal asshat. Listen, the super has told you twice already.

Your lucky I didn't throw a rock into your window.

See you in small claims when I take you there to replace my tv.



Apt below you

To the lady who stopped on Lacewood Drive yesterday to allow me to make a left turn on my bike - and to all similarly considerate drivers: Thank you. I know you mean well, and I appreciate the thought. However, traffic flows more smoothly if those who have the right of way take it, and those who don't have the right of way yield. That is the natural order of things, and when you try to reverse that order, confusion ensues. I hesitate to take advantage of your courtesy, because who knows what the guy behind you is going to do? I've had motorists stop to let me turn, only to have the impatient driver behind whip around them and head straight at me! It's safer and easier if everyone just follows the established rules.

thanks anyway

I dont get this. Here in the Halifax, people defend the hell out of this city and say the nicest people exist here. The minute anyone says a negative word or makes a comparison, people turn snarky and say things like, "well go back there then" or they insult cities to the west.

If you are supposed to be such nice people, then what is with the insulting of those that have a different opinion of this place, or telling people to go home? Hardly the actions of those that claim to be such a nice friendly part of the population.

Mr Told to go the fuck home cause I found some things boring here

1) If the line is long and there is a menu board, look at it and decide what you want BEFORE you get to the front of the line, instead of holding up everyone behind you.

2) Do not talk on your cell phone while ordering, as the server will not think that you are talking to them, causing you to get unnecessarily angry.

3) Do not get angry at your server for not making change for the parking meter. It's not their fault you don't carry cash or plan ahead.

4) Do not steal tips out of the tip cup because you don't want to break a bill for your purchase.

5) Do not think that just because you made a purchase before closing, that gives you the right to stick around after the doors are locked to any additional customers. We have better things to do than wait for you to finish visiting.

Sick of Customer Service

As I bike to work following the recycling truck, a street kid/homeless dude walks by and says "Pretty shitty job?" to the man throwing a bag in. He replies "It's not a bad job at all". Fuck Ya!

Take that

What is it with the morons i work with, who are constantly interrupting my conversations? Oh, you have a question for me? Cool, how about waiting for 10 fucking seconds while i finish talking to this other person here, and then i can help you. I know you have no manners. The colassal belch you just fired off pretty much confirms that fact. I've already tried taking the nice approach here. I've asked you to please wait with your questions, yet you still don't get it. So from now on, you'll be ignored until I'M fucking ready, mmkay?

Go back to the pack of wolves who raised you.

yeah sure, in keeping with HRM's propensity for asinine bylaws & bans... we should just impose bans on EVERYTHING... hell, let's have a moratorium on fun in general!

lord almighty this city's got no soul, and its councillors are a bunch of incompetent nazi dinosaurs

BAN! BAN! BAN!

I approve of your campaign, positive yet political. if you ever want to sell a teeshirt with one of those crows on it, I'd buy it.
