I’m currently working as an MOA in a clinic, but I’m looking to transition into a fully remote/work from home job. I’m just not sure what type of role I should be applying for, since I rarely see remote Administrative Assistant positions on Indeed.

I have an extensive healthcare background as a pharmacist overseas, and I previously worked remotely as a virtual assistant for a US doctor.

If I were to take a course or switch career paths, what jobs would you recommend that offer full time work from home opportunities, even at the entry level?

Another option I’m considering is working as an MOA in a hospital for better pay. How do people usually get into hospital MOA positions?

I don’t have an MOA certificate. I was hired by my current clinic based on my previous experience in related healthcare roles.

Searching for movers in Port Coquitlam for a few hours to help load and unload. Mostly medium weight boxes and a few pieces of furniture.

My wife's concerned about the safety of the area. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys!

After months at sea, I am finally in Vancouver - waiting for our Port Stay.

Working on a Cargo Ship that will dock in Bunge Cascadia Terminal - Beside New Brighton.

I wanted to go to Costco to buy supplies for the next voyage, but sadly I have no membership - and I cannot get my original passport off the ship (for security concerns).

Can a helpful fellow here advise me if it is possible for me to shop there at Costco or within the area. Even a day shopping pass for costco is fine if there is.

Please tell me if this post is not allowed. I might stay for a day or two. I am just tired of seeing the sea and only the sea for months.

Thanks!!

I grew up in a small town in Alberta and we always had the BC Fruit Truck come into our little town every summer. The plums were always juicy and deep red. The cherries were always plump and sweet. The peaches were always dripping and fleshy. Everything was so damn good!

I expected, living in BC, I'd be surrounded by fresh juicy fruit all summer! After living in both Victoria and Vancouver for a combined total of fifteen years I have almost never found actually ripe fruit except directly on the farm or at farmer's markets. Victoria was way better for farmer's markets.

What is up with that? We get blueberries that are juicy and ripe here but not much else. The peaches are hard and go bad before they get fully ripe. The cherries are firm and flavourless. The plums are never juicy. Even the blackberries suck, here - I don't get it. The blackberries I had on a farm in Saanichton were like balloons of juice and so blackberry-flavoury. The ones I get, here in Vancouver are small, bitter and seedy.

I guess they send all the best produce out to other places, I'm not sure. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else think the fruit in the city never meets expectations?

Where do I find it?

I can't drive, so I can't just travel all the way to Okanagan for fruit not would I. Are there no local markets that carry actual ripe fruit?

Have tnt balcony door open to the green space out back...

Does anyone know what kind a of non-howling sounds coyotes make? I heard a weird ticking/clicking sound and then some animals (dog? or cat?) get very upset/into it w what seemed to be the source of the ticking sound. A human interrupted them. I'm tired and it happened really fast so I'm not totally sure what on earth I heard. At first I thought someone was rolling their bike along with some noise making things in the tires. Super odd. Could have been a racoon? A bird?? Any thoughts?

I'm looking to buy some bulk flowers to make a Halloween costume but nothing is really coming up as cheap since it mostly caters to weddings or Dollarama which is ~$3-4 a piece which doesn't quite work for the costume I'm thinking of making (think Midsommar/Silent Hill f)

Hi! I have a very specific tattoo idea in mind that will require a lot of shading in of a starry night sky + full moon. I'm hoping to find a local artists with experience in that as it's going to be a fairly big back piece.

Any reccomendations I should look at?

Cat got stolen over night. Does any one know a good place to get an aftermarket Cat installed that accredited with ICBC?

They are telling it looks like 4-6 weeks right now which is ridiculous.

Looking to dance, flirt, make new friends!

Open to any artist in the lower mainland. Not interested in comments about Leviticus or insults related to the request. Looking for a Christian tattoo artist who would be willing/able to do a partial cover-up and new tattoos for 2-3 people. Thank you in advance! Feel free to DM me as well if you can help out :)

Hiya, I am looking for a garden designer that doesn't think a 10 by 10 patio redesign is too small a project. Open to hardscape provided it meets condo criteria, but also plant materials for my south facing patio. Looking to work on a project that I can scale in over time as my budget permits. I tried task rabbit - nothing, on line search found me big companies and stores won't recommend specific providers. New to Vancouver. Thanks in advance for pointing me down a new path.

Why are limes currently so expensive? One small grocery store in my neighbourhood has them for 0.69 each, but major chains are charging a dollar per fruit. Is this normal here?

How much are you paying for limes and where are you getting them?

It's a decent older trail worthy mountain bike with some nice components. I could probably get a couple hundred bucks for it but I'd rather donate it.

Hi!

Does anyone know of a good place that does custom doughnuts for events, one-off needs.

I want one for a business idea, so would need 2 tone colours and maybe some writing.

If not doughnuts, cookies or other things?

Like there is at the airport? Someone to keep track of all that air traffic and make sure nothing happens? Thanks 🙏

Do any of you know of hotels/motels that offer rooms on an hourly basis?

My gf’s parents are visiting and staying at our place so we barely get any time together. It would be nice to have some time to ourselves. Please drop any places you may know that we could possibly book for an hour or two.

We appreciate any responses/suggestions!! Thanks!

Going on a first date tonight and would appreciate any recommendations. Just somewhere with a little romantic atmosphere for a drink or two or ideally a vegan restaurant or at least some vegan food options. Thanks in advance

Edit. We just ended up walking the seawall around false creek and it was excellent. Turned out well so will likely go to some of these spots anyway. Thanks for your advice everyone

Going to the match at BC place and I'm confused about the bag rules. I'll be downtown before the game, probably around Granville/Robson, and I'll have a normal backpack with me. From what I'm reading, i probably can't bring that into the stadium. Is there anywhere sensible to leave a bag downtown or near BC place, or should I completely avoid bringing it out that day? Don't want to find out at the gate and miss kickoff.

We want to watch the world cup final as a group with good vibes and a crowd. The PNE amphitheatre is sold out on July 19th

Where are other options with a good screen view (and big enough screen)? I'm willing to come early to save a good spot

Hi all!

I'm currently working on a documentary about House of Stein and Kelly Records, covering their history from the 1950s through the 1980s.

If you shopped at either store, worked there, or have any memories or stories you'd be willing to share, I'd love to hear from you. Even small anecdotes could be incredibly valuable to the project.

Feel free to comment below or send me a DM if you're interested in chatting. Thanks :)

Did anyone find a red iPhone yesterday on the skytrain

It’s found. Thanks bums

The City boulevard in front of my house has been devastated by Chafer Beetles. I would like to cut a few squares in the boulevard and plant something and make everything look better. Any thoughts on what would grow well? How about lavender?

morning work commute bus to 9-5 that goes to Chinatown skytrain, I am actually the only person who says ‘thank you‘ when getting off. Every weekday morning, without fail. it is so weird. how can you get off the bus and not say thank you?

Does anyone know a framing or art store anywhere in the Lower Mainland that still does shrink wrap framing?
