My floors are laminate made to look like wood, and tile. Worked great on both! Heats up in only about 20 seconds, so by the time you think it’s a pain on the ass to clean the floor you’re ready to just do it. lol

OH MY GOD I LIVE LIKE AN ANIMAL.

With my vacuum and mop combo, I’m now unstoppable.

I bought a Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop (on Amazon, but I’m sure you could probably find it cheaper elsewhere if you had a car) and this power pad used to be white??????

My floor has not been clean-clean since before I moved in. I vacuum all the time, but it doesn't get the grime. I have a "manual mop" but it's one of the worst floor cleaning tools I've ever used. lol. Steam mop was on sale, had good reviews, let's see how this sucker works!

Finally found the secret setting to turn off the "focused" and "others" setting in my email inbox and...*happy sigh* it's so nice to be able to see ALL of my email, instead of just the ones that Outlook (incorrectly...) deems important.

FYI: Highway 118 at Waverly is being shut down by RCMP and Halifax Fire for life flight to land for a MVC evacuation. If you're in the area, you're either not moving and not going to for a long time, or about to not be moving.

Normally people on this floor are really good. We all have office doors, we close them when in meetings, and if it’s a sensitive meeting we use headsets.

But today? Hooooooooboy.

HEADPHONES. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEM??????

At least I'm getting a free seminar on data set analysis for merchandising, something totally applicable to my life.

We've got another water rescue in Fall River (Highway 2/102 junction) in the exact same spot as last time.

I hope this one has a better outcome...

The follow-up to this call was pretty funny. Driver somehow threw his phone out the window and he turned around and came back for it. Station 21 was laughing while ending the dispatch call and returning to station.

I didn't say you shouldn't. If that's what it costs, that's what it costs.

I'm glad people tolerate me with only 10 years experience.

but of course now we have tender ports! So if a ship is tendering it obviously has its engine(s) running. I know some of them just hover in place and don't even drop anchor because that scuffs up the hull. lol.
Curious at how much of a strain shore power puts on NS Power...

A lot of the ships to Halifax use shore power (and I remember being told by Crane Dude on the other site why some ships can't access shore power but I don't remember why), but definitely not all. I haven't noticed lingering smoke as much this year (last year was bad!)

I figured you had ways of figuring out what the flavour was if you wanted to. Lol. The apple pie syrup was my second-favourite of the year (hibiscus curd was my fav!)

Avoid the area if you can, and if you can't avoid the area make sure you're watching for emergency vehicles!

There's been an outside fire call off the 103 at Ingramport (there's only 1 exit/entrance onto the 103 there), and it's been about 1.5hrs that there have been several engines there (and just requested more). I don't know exactly where the fire is, but the staging ground is just off the 103.

No website, no go (for me. I wanna know how much I’m paying without having to call and ask, or go in and ask)

I guess I should get used to paying $100+ to have my hair cut. Capital-Y yikes.
