I've been getting my Timmies folks to toss a handful of ice cubes in the tea - makes it perfect drinking temperature.  Which reminds me of a remark I got from someone at my table recently, who was apparently contemplating (but not too closely) the concept of putting a few ice cubes in a cup of...

No sticky note - it will just fall off.  Either write your request right on the form, or write "see attached memo" and then attach a memo.   

Thanks, Bigmac.  I've spoken with the compensation folks - it had to do with a pd of mil svc during LWOP fm the PS, which got credited twice; it's sorted out now.  Your help & comments have been much appreciated.  :salute: I'm also helping out a colleague, who was in the Res F for 18 years...

If that were the case, the org in question wouldn't now be trying to decide which of its components will NOT move to the new building.    Personally, I'm curious about (among many other things) how OC Transpo will adapt, once the site starts getting filled up.  Those pokey buses going from...

This topic flares up from time to time in our org.  The scuttlebutt I'm hearing in the last couple of days is that TB has advised DND to revise its expectations in terms of the cost of the refit.  I believe the exact phrase was "We bought it for you, but we're not going to make it fancy."  Those...

Cat!

Aye!  A friend of the cat, finer words wuz never spoken.  But this shiny box makes me eyes weary - I'm shovin' off.  Smooth sailin' to ye! ~"Monkey" Dolores Bellamy

I'm good as long as MLB is still running.  As someone once said, "sports allow us to care passionately about something that really doesn't matter." And there's some work to do vice versa as well... whatever happened to that TLC show "All-American Muslim" - did it get cancelled? I don't know...

Me too... because most women would spot the faker a mile away.    ;D

I found mine quite helpful, with the possible exception of a couple of hours devoted to suggestions on how to find a new purpose in life.  My problem was always too many ideas to fit the time, rather than an absence of ideas.  But the parts about financial planning, education, administration...

Not only that, but depending on the nature of the error there may be someone whose spouse actually IS in Fredericton but now isn't reflected as such, so they could be adversely affected too.

So, depending on the average home size, that means anywhere from 1/5 to 1/2 receive a government benefit.  There may be some stats that back up the 47% figure, but that particular stat isn't one of them. And at any rate, most of the people receiving government benefits no doubt pay various...

So, they're saying that it's an insult to refer to (for example) a Muslim as a Muslim, or to your wife as your wife.  I don't think that those words are inherently insulting.  If the Durham District School Board does consider those terms to be insults, then perhaps they, themselves, are the...

Overheard today at my favourite lunch spot, a little Pho place in south Ottawa: "When I flew economy, I felt unsafe.  Then when I flew on my brother's plane, I felt safe.  I felt surrounded by wealth - it was like 'we can't die'."  ::)

OK - thanks.  That's good to know.  I guess for the OP, the important thing is that the feds settle the account as a result of the filing of taxes - as opposed to your employer sending the taxes directly to the province.  Again, exceptions for Quebec.

:nod:    The pay statements for civil servants don't show provincial tax either (at least, for those working outside Quebec).  There's a spot for it, but no amount listed.  The feds send that money to the province once you file your fed & provincial taxes (generally at the same time - but again...
