Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Having a serious case of the "Monday's" today, I took my lunch break at Subway on Legacy Park Dr. Ordered my food, and got a bottled drink instead of the usual fountain pop. Upon arriving at my table, the totally competent chick that I am, slide my tray onto the table only to have my bottle of juice fly the coop and explode all over the floor... Smooth. So I pick it up, throw it in the bin and I sit down to eat my lunch, I've only got thirty minutes after all... Sitting there eating in silence, when this lady, who was seated behind me at an adjacent table puts a bottle of apple juice on my table, tells me to have a nice day, and turns and leaves. Such a simple gesture, yet it made such a huge impact for me, especially on the horrific day that was today. So, kind lady, if you're reading this by some miraculous chance, thank you. You have been spotted, and I will pay it forward - when someone least expects it.
I was working the register at PetSmart today, (Monday, February 23) when I lady walked in straight up to the counter with a beautiful bracelet. She found it right outside our door. Seems heavier, appears to be a men's style. If you lost it, come in to PetSmart, and describe it to our manager. They'll be glad to get it back to you. Also, to the woman who turned it in, you've been spotted!
If you live in Windsor & Essex County and have been in search of employment in recent years, you are undoubtedly familiar with temp agencies.
By definition, a temporary assignment is a short-term position that gives a company time to evaluate the employee and see if they have the right skills to be hired on full time. They can make sure that the employee fits in with the company culture and that they work well with those around them. There is value to this. However, these companies that continue to hire temps and/ or keep them on for years without any pay raises or chance to advance should be fined.
Why is the government allowing these companies to operate this way? Working as a temp and working alongside full-time workers who make a substantially higher wage with benefits creates a toxic work environment. When will the government step in? I don't see the benefit of this for these companies either as they are paying a lot of money to these temp agencies rather than their hard-working employees.
You are a swimming instructor at the Gino, you do one on one I believe with children with disabilities. You have a beard and are super cute. Can't help but smile when I see you working with them, you are clearly fantastic at what you do!

I was on my way home on the bus this afternoon like I do every weekday , I was on the 1c west bound bus 684 and the bus had just pulled into ouellete avenue where the very first bus shelter is by the Havana smoke shop and there is a young homeless man sitting in the entrance way of the bar on 576 ouellete when you honked your horn and gave the young man some change , you sir whoever you are have been spotted for you random act of generosity and kindness . That truly touched my heart to see someone care about someone on the streets begging in this freezing cold .

Hello,
I lost my wallet yesterday. I'm pretty sure I left in a shopping cart in the parking lot at Walmart in Amherstburg. If anyone has found it, please let me know so I can get my important ID/ cards and documents. Thank you so much!!!!
I believe I dropped a white letter sized envelope with $200 in ticket money for our school play at Walmart on Tecumseh Rd E this past Saturday afternoon. If you happened to pick it up I would be so grateful to have it returned. It was not turned in at the desk. Please comment below. Thank You!
