Hey, I currently work as an engineer in the transit space, but much more on the technical, engineering, side (and not as a civil engineer). I've been interested in transit/transportation planning for a long time and its starting to crystallize for me that it may be the next step that I'd want to make in my career. How do I go about re-tooling for this? Does it mean going back to school to try and do a planning masters? Learning certain software in my spare time? I'm in Canada if that helps.

Thanks!

Hopefully this doesn't come off as selfish or entitled or anything, but I moved here over the summer and haven't had the easiest go meeting people and getting out there. I have been meaning to volunteer and I figured its a good opportunity to meet cool people as well, but many of the places I've seen online seem to skew towards an older crowd.

Was wondering if anyone knew of any nice places to volunteer that might have younger people involved? I think part of the issue is many of the people in this age range in Hamilton are at McMaster and its kind of tricky to get involved in their clubs as a non-student with a full-time job (I have tried).

I'm in consulting engineering and things have been very slow since I was hired. It started to pick up a month after my hiring and I thought I was past the hump, but the past few months have been insanely slow. My day consists of basically sitting and refreshing Reddit for 6 hours, and maybe some small busy work. I've been very transparent with my superiors that I am bored out of my mind, and they have been very transparent with me that they don't really have the ability to do much about it without winning new work.

I'm at a great company and I was so excited to start my engineering career but now I feel like I'm slowly going insane and wasting valuable time to develop career skills out of s

hey I think a neighbour in my apt who recently moved out had bedbugs. He lived across the hall from me. Not confirmed but saw a mattress on the curb a ~2 months ago, and he moved out a few weeks ago. The super mentioned that he had a bad 'bug' problem and they sprayed and now there are glue traps outside his door that have bugs on them that possibly are bedbugs. to be honest I don't know exactly what they look like in real life.

should I be looking at finding a new place? the issue is I still have half a year left on my lease. am I able to break it early if needed on the grounds that I could get bedbugs?

thanks.

Was having a great convo with a girl and then she abruptly disappeared from my match list. I assumed she unmatched and was pretty confused but it happens. Fast forward a few hours when I get a notification that she just messaged me?? I open it and in my confusion exit out of the message screen thinking the match will reappear in my list. Nope. Gone.

Get your shit together tinder! :'(

Hey. I'm brewing beer and need empty bottles (swing cap preferably) to transfer my beer into to allow for carbonation. Does anywhere in Hamilton sell these? Or should I just poke around bars selling Beau's and ask them?

This. Is. Not. A. Drill!!!

I just recently got this card and it was one of the better no-fee cashback cards on the market. They just however changed the structure so that there is a $30 annual fee, effective July 2018. Really bummed out, I registered in June so they've reversed my fee personally, but shame about it.
