LostLamb Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I had my first day of classes in my new undergrad. I feel old. I have become one of the weird oldsters who sits at the front of the class and who forgets to raise their hand to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeman101 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Got my first mtl ticket. F_d, there is someone who might know someone who might be able to find your true identity. We already identified sfinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Got my first mtl ticket. OPP have passed the word about you. In TO, I believe you point to walk across a street and the cars stop for you. In Montreal, J-Walking is a way of life and drivers aim for pedestrians who mostly miss. This weekend, I move to USA, NY State. P.S. I am sfinch's sister. Our nixckname is 'hate us' and we will be giving free courses to hateful members who wish to avoid our posts by use of the 'ignore function'. charmer may sign up first, with G.O.B, YorkMan, Dumby and the list goes on.

Leon Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Got my first mtl ticket. LOL. Are you fighting this one too? How much were you over the limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 In Quebec, you cannot fight them unless you play "let's make a deal", lol, before the tickets are actually written. And if in the city, you ask for their maintenance and repair records for the laser equipmwnt, giving timely written notice. Usually, they forget and on this basis, you can have the case dismissed. In at least one jurisdiciton within Montreal, the polkice are not required to give testimony/proof/evidence of your culpability. Attracvtive females have a better shot of winning their cases than men, lol, remember, this is French Canada. In Quebec, there is no limit, it is a mere suggestion and used for unsurers to obtain higher premiums. Giving tickets is considered sport by the police, sometimes they have contests for whom gives the most tickets during a given day and if a policeman wins three times in a row, he receives a one week paid vacation!

deeman101 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 LOL. Are you fighting this one too? How much were you over the limit? No this was a parking ticket. It was supposed to be paid parking, even though there was no pay meter in sight...at least the ticket here is 50 bucks instead of 80. And my other ticket got reduced to 40 bucks and no points. Which still kinda sucks for insurance but ah well. I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 First day at class! I get to miss 2 days/wk of work this term and attend a few classes. I'm signed up for Microbiology200, but I skipped the first class to check out EPHS142- "Personal Health, Wellness and Potential", another course I was looking at taking instead. OMG- It was full of high school kids, We drew pictures with felt pens, and one girl in my small group didn't know how to write the word "nutrition". Another one said: "I've wroted a few essays, but I'm going to take english anyways". Wow. I'll take microbi, thank you. I want an A/A+ course, but not at the expense of my dignity.

future_doc Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The pay meters are many car spaces away so the uninitiated is penalized. In the good ol' days, I heard of people using the UK 2 pence, same weight and size as loonie or washers (with a hole in the middle) bought in a hardware store. The confusion adds to revenues in a serious way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leap87 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If it's money that was promised to you (do you have an documentation?) I would fight for it. Is it the university that's directly funding it? How horrible! Have you tried calling? After numerous phone calls and e-mails, both things were resolved in an hour. The bank is still looking into what happened, but I've dealt with the landlord and now I have a pretty good offer on the table. It was their mistake and I covered my ass in this case - they admitted to the 2 mistakes made and will cover all of the charges to my account. Also, the funds from York are arriving beginning of next week. Finally. I got an e-mail confirming this. York is the WORST! I filed a degree change request back in May, then went in in July to see why it still hadn't been processed, and they told me I had only handed it in a week prior and when I said that was not the case they told me I was lying lol. Two hours of harassing people later, I got a call from the mysterious degree changer people apologizing for the screw up. Oh, and now I'm trying to take bio and chem courses so I can have the pre-reqs for Ottawa. there's spaces available in these courses, but will they let me enroll? no, of course not. that would make too much sense. I want to punch that stupid woman who sits in the 1000/1001 office in the face. Why oh why didn't I go to Western...ugh. And about the scholarship...is it an automatic academic one? Because I was told you get it for having a sessional GPA of 8.0, but then I didn't get one after second year, and then I did after 3rd. Cheapos. Nah. It was NSERC scholarship. I think York is full of bad administration people. Thank God I don't have to deal with them anymore. At Waterloo, everything gets done within a day or two. "Oh you need help with courses? We will help you enroll. Give us a day"... "Oh you need money? How about this RA position?" Seriously, Waterloo admin people have been soooo helpful and I'm very glad I'm here. I feel like I'm in good hands. Don't worry about 1000/1001 chem. People will start dropping out of that course like flies. Just go to class and tell the prof you want to be on the wait list or want permission to enroll. Usually profs are very good with this - depending on whom you have. Hempsted (sp?) is actually very nice. I believe he was the head at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylamonkey Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 TGIF indeed- today I had to tell a guge that his jeep needs about $8000 worth of work to make it safe. Then he asked me if we do payment plans, I said, well, not really. Then he told me that his mom had a payment plan, and I realized his mom was the woman who had a $700 bill, paid $100, (back in July), and has not returned since despite repeated calls. This is what we get when we are nice and trusting. Drives me crazy. Not doing this anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 monkey, if you learned your lesson for life, the cost of $600 is cheap at the price. And he was such a fool to make that connection for you! You would have a repairer's lien to demand monies prior to releasing any vehicle repaired, and tey should sign a contract to this effevt before you commence the work, but I would want a 30-40% upfront payment boeofre starting the workm as I would not to end up owning cars that I have repaired.tgif indeed.

kylamonkey Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yes, we have procedures for repairer's liens in place. For $600 we have not made any threats yet. We are going to court in Oct for one that was from BEFORE we knew all the procedures for repairman's liens. And REAL problems arise when they are "friends". I hate cars so much. I am so glad to be getting down to classes 2d/wk for this term. I can't take it full-time anymore- I love a challenge but it's hard when you have zero interest in the subject matter.

future_doc Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 And REAL problems arise when they are "friends". I understand. If you want to keep friends, don't do their work. Or, tell them that you are giving them a deal, make sure they check prices, and let them know, you require 50% upfront with the balance paid boefore they take possession of their car. As your are aware, your lien only exists so long as you retain possession of the car until payment in full. Credit just does not work. And you need to secure the vehicles so that it is impossible for the owenr to access and remove the vehicle after hours. What a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
