Stéphanie"Stress levels are rising, mental health is worsening and overall less public servants feel valued at work, according to results from the latest Public Service Employee Survey.[...]The survey also found that more than a third of workers were either always or often emotionally drained after a workday."<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/GC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GC</a><a href="https://ottawacitizen.com/public-service/stress-public-servants-public-service-employee-survey?tbref=hp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ottawacitizen.com/public-service/stress-public-servants-public-service-employee-survey?tbref=hp</a>

Tyler SmithI have prevailed over the <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/GC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GC</a> travel system! Unbeknownst to anyone, including perhaps the travel agency themselves, they no longer book approved travel automatically, you need to complete an unspecified extra step before they will actually book your flight.In practice, this step appears to be calling the service desk and insisting that they book the travel that is already fully scheduled and approved in the system.All of which I discovered at the check-in desk yesterday where the agents informed me I didn't have a seat on the flight I was trying to board.

Tyler SmithI work on a laptop running Ubuntu <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>. I can access almost everything I need from the work network, mostly using the Chrome browser. However, for a few things, mostly Adobe's proprietary extensions to PDF forms, I need Windows. I have a virtual machine on my Linux computer for this purpose.Starting it up takes *minutes*, and opening Acrobat to fill in a single form regularly takes 15 minutes or more start to finish.I've also got a desktop running windows in the lab down the hall. Once or twice a year I'll think, "this is dumb, I can just walk a few steps and use my Windows computer for this". So I do. And it takes *just as long* to go through all the boot/log-in/setup steps as my virtual machine.It's a wonder we get anything done with <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/gc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gc</a> IT systems.

Martin BucheliMein Sohn wurde gestern Abend nach dem Derby im gut besetzten Bus von einem Typen in <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/FCZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FCZ</a>-Attire, der aus einer Gruppe gleicher heraus agierte, genötigt, seine Jacke zu öffnen um festzustellen, ob er <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/GC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GC</a>-Fanartikel hätte. Nachdem dieser Kretin ausgestiegen war, fragte ein zusehendes älteres Paar die übrigen der Gruppe, was passiert wäre, hätte mein Sohn solche Artikel bei sich gehabt.

Tyler SmithJust received our regular reminder that in order to reduce our spending, government travel will be restricted next year. Which is fine. But - *all* travel counts towards our travel cap. Even travel paid for by a third party. So if a university invites me to speak, and will pay my expenses, it counts as *government spending*. Meaning, in order to spend less of our own budgets, we are also required to decline funding from outside sources. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/gc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gc</a>

Tyler SmithA friend did her French test again today. Third time I think. Needs CCC to be promoted to the job she's been acting in for months, probably years at this point.Got CCB. So many mid to late career civil servants hit this wall. It's heartbreaking. Especially when many of them are competing for the job they already do.<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/gc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gc</a>

Tyler SmithMy canada.ca email address will be officially shut down this month. This was the email I used for about 12 months, following a years-long process moving from the departmental agr.gc.ca to the civil service-wide canada.ca.The canada.ca emails were phased out in September 2023, and are now considered "legacy" (jfc, after barely a year in service). Now we're back to agr.gc.ca. Actually have been, in practice, for a year or two already.The only lasting impact on me of this multi-year long process involving god knows how many IT professionals and budget dollars, is my address, originally tyler.smith, is now tyler.smith3.So.

But -- we use some proprietary <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Adobe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adobe</a> pdf signing format, and it can only be opened in Adobe Acrobat. Which means I have a Windows VirtualBox for this single program.
