Starling Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I had a similar experience in Calgary, and I believe it would have never happened in Toronto OR Ottawa. I bought a nice plush chair (not too big) and I figured I could fit it in the back of my coupe with the backseats folded down. No can do, the trunk/backwindow couldn't come down close enough for me to drive safely--it looked like i could pop out my rear window...and I had to take the Deerfoot home (100km+). A guy and his wife turn in with a van, try to help me rearrange the chair, realize it isn't going to work, and they offer to drive it to my house! They were doing south of the city and I lived on the west side. It was such a nice thing to do and helped me out immensely! You'd never ever ever get such an offer in Ottawa...people just don't have time there for others. That's so nice! I was also helped out by random people in the Ikea Calgary parking lot. I was trying to fit my massive desk into my car, but the backseat was stuck and wouldn't fold down. A guy and his wife saw me struggling and the guy showed me how to fix the backseat and then hauled my desk into my trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylamonkey Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I don't know how to spell the word "lisence". I can seriously never get this word. Then again, I got a note today from a guy about his "Jeep Chererokee." And I know this is old, but it's making me laugh again today. I think you can watch it many, many times and still get something new: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leap87 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks for the encouragement (everybody). In case you guys are wondering, his lab needs a database admin (it's a co-op job). It's supposed be a senior level (i.e. 3rd/4th year) position, but I've just started second year hence the underqualified comment. leap: The UW printers are notorious for bugging out at the worst possible times. Being in CS, I can tell you the probability of having a computer issue asymptocally approaches 1 as the related assignment deadline approaches. Invest in your own printer, if you can (multifunctions are awesome; being able to scan crap at home saves so much time). Thanks for the heads up synergy!!! I've learned my lesson. It takes forever to print there. It's not like York. ONE thing that is better at York in comparison to Loo. lol. Don't you wish you had a portable printer? lol. So glad that you experienced the kindness of strangers. Imagine! People out there who are willing to do something for others without expecting anything in return! I had a similar experience in Calgary, and I believe it would have never happened in Toronto OR Ottawa. I bought a nice plush chair (not too big) and I figured I could fit it in the back of my coupe with the backseats folded down.

I'm thinking of buying a hot chocolate to the woman that drove me to see that house. It just happens that she was also the person in charge of the housing for grads in the Waterloo area. I didn't even know this, until I googled the community centre and saw her name. Maybe that's some kind of a sign?!?!?! I continue to look for a new place. I'm going to see 2 more places next week. I JUST WANT TO FIND A NORMAL PLACE!!!! Jeez. Leap also has a 30 page paper due next week - I found out yesterday. I thought my supervisor was going to say it's supposed to be 10 pages. He's like "Well, 30 pages would be good... maybe 40... but no more than 40". HOLY. But experiment is WAY too cool. So, I'll get on that. lol.
