Employee Motivation

I was too quick to speak when I came into work every day for the first month excited to work on my next draft of pleadings and meeting with clients. Now I am back to being stuck in my office cranking out reports that require minimal mind work. 

This work isn’t below me per se, but it is not very motivating whatsoever. I hate Monday mornings.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m just tolerating you for my own fear of admitting that I made a bad investment. Or my naive belief that love can be that much better if I stick it through the hard times.

Things very central to a part of both our lives bother the shit out of each other. Your sleeping, my social media-ing. I don’t even know how to face you even though I know my blogging this right now is somehow bothering you on the other side of these sheets.

I’m tired and exhausted.

Some of my favourite actors acting a scene in support of independent film making!

Why Dove’s “Real Beauty Sketches” Video Makes Me Uncomfortable… and Kind of Makes Me Angry

jazzylittledrops:

So this video started going around my facebook today, with about a dozen of my female friends sharing the link with comments like, and “Everyone needs to see this”, and “All girls should watch this,” and “This made me cry.” And I’m not trying to shame those girls! I definitely understand why they would do so. And I don’t want to be a killjoy. But as I clicked link and started watching the video, I started to feel a slight sense of discomfort. I couldn’t put my finger on why that was, exactly, but it continued throughout the whole thing. After watching the video several more times, I have some thoughts…

BEST TAXI SERVICE IN TORONTO (SIGN UP HERE)

Some of you may know about my pleasant experiences with Uber and here’s a chance for you to get a free ride upon registration and a shameless plug for the company. Some highlights: 
  • Especially for the up-towners, this can help a great deal on a late Friday night/Saturday morning. (Remember, don’t drink and drive!)
  • It’s also extremely handy post-concert/sports game or in the middle of a hail storm where finding a cab is not the easiest thing to do. You place a request for a cab on your phone, and you’ll get a notification upon its arrival. Really handy - especially in the winter time.
  • Note: they do require a credit card upon check up, and they automatically deduct the cost of each ride so that you do not have to worry about finding the cash when you get off. Really hassle free. A price estimate is provided before you request your car so you’ll know what to expect. You can also edit the default tip amount (yes, you can pick 0%) for each ride. From personal experience, the regular taxi cabs cost the same and the black cars charge a slight premium. It is a flat rate (depending on zone) to both Toronto airports.
