    Real Friends

    Thanks, C. i've never heard that. xo
  2. Real Friends Friends come and go Like mists at dawn Burned away by the heat of the sun It’s too much not to really know them If I cannot see you You are not real Yet, I am writing this and I know It is enough for my soul To simply know of yours ***
  3. Yeah, i know from talking to people how different it is. i can't be made to work more than my shift or on Holidays. They can ask me to and if i agree they have to pay me 1.5x my hourly rate. On Stat holidays it's 2.5x and on say Christmas Day or New Years Day it's 3x. I don't know if that is the same for all workers in Canada (i doubt it is) but the Banks are under the Federal Government so there are a lot of regulations we have to meet.
  4. You're right, Kitt. i think people appreciate what they've done and are trying to do. We are expected to work during our usual shift, like we do at work. It goes without saying they know what we're doing, but they always know. That doesnt bother me because, i work the same at home as i did at work. i suppose there are some who get away with stuff, but i'm my own hard taskmaster and i don't get away with much. lol They don't want us to work longer that our 7.5 hours per day unless we sign up for overtime. The Bank isn't perfect, but where is? They are trying and for me, that's all i can ask.
  5. i can't complain about how on top they have been since day 1. they have given us money to buy stuff for home office or exercise, we have $3,000 to spend on mental health on top of what we have in our benefits, they've sent us packages (thats 2000 courier deliveries to home workers with each delivery) filled with snacks, a wellness box with a yoga mat, a box with coffees and other things like tea and hot chocolate, and a planter with lavender seeds. The listen and work with us if there are issues at home. They gave us extra days off paid as well. i can't complain about how we've been treated through all of this.

  15. It's very odd. But it seems there are odd things happening to some. But just know you are a member here as long as you want to be.
  16. i don't know who can remove people other than leaders and owners. i have never removed anyone from here. Not that you're saying that at all. Everyone is welcome here, now and always. i'm sorry Kitt. This is frustrating and upsetting. i'll look into it further. xo
  17. i hope you feel better soon, rick! take it easy.
  18. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all DiCsters You make this place what it is and keep it alive. Thank you. I wish you all love and peace. tim xo
  19. we all have our own way... some need detailed outlines ... some need a general path/timeline .. if i write an outline, that's the story told and i dont want to write it anymore, so i do not write outlines. I make notes sometimes but mostly i just write the story. i dont see the whole thing before i write ... i just write and i can usually see the end when i'm nearly done. you need to try things and find what works for you
  20. thank's rick. i hope you're doing okay xo
  21. hello Wolfie .. thank you, i know you would xoxo i hope you and he are both safe and well.
