    Help me understand this mentality

    Some people are just not very considerate of others. Why is beyond me, but even if we understand why, we are not well placed to help. That's for the professionals. Frustrating though it is.

    Help me understand this mentality

    Passive aggressivity seems to be the norm now. I had it twice with musicians I played with, the last couple of years. Sadly I gave up tryin g to find other people to play with. My computer never does this to me.

    Dueling loyalties

    Not read everything so i apologise in advance if it has been said, but did the op discuss bringing in new person with everybody else beforehand? If not, i would quit because obviously the communication is not there, and it all just gets worse.

    The world should be envious of our sweet sweet Canadian deals!

    L and M is hit or miss. The Ottawa store is in a terrible spot, although I have never missed the turn! Kanata had more stuff I wanted over the last while though. As for health care, the American going on about how private is so much better because it encourages healthy lifestyles ought to check...

    Welp, after 6 years, my band just fired me unceremoniously over text message

    Same experience here, only I quit after 6 months: they wouldn't have band meetings to discuss anything (at least with me), so that was a clue.
