Stupid Kids . . . I know they stole our bikes but . . .

A side note for those of you who live in Seattle....the Seattle PD started a twitter feed the beginning of this month for the stolen bikes they have recovered and bikes that have been found/turned in. Having a photo and serial number of your bike is a good idea to help get it back!!

Yes, we tend to forget to take pictures of our "babies".

Here is how the law works in Canada: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Rev...943/story.html
Each province has a human rights code which are all similar with respect to employment, housing... I believe the basis is Canadian federal constitutional law, Charter of Rights.

Have I heard someone not hired because of a criminal record/charge? Yes, it was a U.S. applicant. We did not spend time to figure out what the charge was. (Seriously wonder how long the cross-border criminal check would have meant from Canada into U.S.....for a temporary worker.) We really needed to work with the person on-site to speed up collaboration work. So our preference for simplicity were Canadian candidates to speed up project start timeframes.

This is for a public sector/govn't employer.

Yes, I work in an area with sensitive info.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but I have a friend at work who told me that her original boss told her that it came down to her and one other person. The other person had some questionable things on their FB page so she got the job.

tough that

Also off topic but I once had a kid hit my car right smack in front of a fire station. I think the guys were a little disappointed that they didn't get to break out the jaws of life. Anyway it was cold out so we were all in the fire station waiting for the police. The cop shows up and tells me that he smelled alcohol on his breath, kid is 20, the very next day he is supposed to be leaving for an archological dig in Malta, he's a senior in college, his girlfriend is pretty much breaking up with him at that very moment. In the cop's opinion the kid is not drunk but he's underage so by definition if he gives him a breathalizer anything at all showing up means he'll have to arrest him. What do I want to do?

All the firemen are looking at me. It was actually kind of tense. I asked the cop if he could scare the kid really bad and then let him go. He got a really evil glint in his eye. I fear I unleashed something here but I figure if he can scare him out of doing anything stupid like that again then ok. I think the guys hanging out there watching the goings on approved.

I wonder if Mimi has seen that link? It would be so great if she got Donald's bike back.

We are out of town right now. The detective contacted us right before we left and used the word, "kids," and said the "kids were going to be charged" so I assumed they were minors. We didn't have any time to do anything else as we were on a tight deadline. will know more when we get back and pick up the bikes and will post then.
