The Worst Dining Experience Ever

I had the worst dining experience at IL UK JO Japanese/Korean
restaurant, in Fleetwood, Surrey, BC on Father's Day. I didn't know
that this restaurant had a bad reputation when it comes to
all-you-can-eat until I read reviews online from other food patrons.
This is just a recollection of my lunch experience there and is not
meant to bad-mouth the establishment. I leave it up to you to decide
on your own.

I heard from online reviews that if you ordered from the menu,
customer service wasn't so bad but if you go for the all-you-can eat
option which is what we did, then you will get treated very poorly.
The reason we dined out was to enjoy the company of loved ones on
Father's Day but it ended up being very unenjoyable, leaving me a bad
taste in my mouth the whole day.

I hated having to get up to ask for missing cutlery, napkins, water,
tea, etc. They don't 'wait' on you like at other restaurants and it
felt very hostile with a feeling that they don't want you to be around
too long. They didn't clear our table after our first order and we
ended up putting aside the dirty dishes ourselves. We filled in the
order sheet twice and I was frustrated to see that on the second
order, they gave us two sushi platters that was obviously too much for
us to finish. It felt like they were trying to stuff us with sushi so
that there would be no third order. That's how I read the situation. A
few minutes later, the owner hands me the bill and says there was a
long line-up and that we had to go. I stood up and looked to see if
people were waiting up front but there was no one there. They just
wanted us to leave I think. I didn't go back to our table because they
started to clear it and was hurrying us out of the party room. This
was horrible and unthinkable. I have never ever been asked to rush and
finish a meal at a restaurant. This was terrible form and bad
etiquette. Who does that? My dad was still trying to finish the
remaining food on his plate but they didn't care and had continued
cleaning the table, quickly urging us out of the room. They were very
rude and I was very frustrated and embarassed at the same time.

We paid our bill, added 15% gratuity, and left. I vow never to go back
there again.

How I Fixed My In-Sink Garburator

Our kitchen garburator had been out of order for the past few weeks and I thought I would give it some tender loving care this Christmas Holidays because we'll need it. It's a Mainline Model 1900 and has been very dependable for the past 6 years. This happened a few times before and all I did was run a wooden barbeque stick through the serrated edges of the garburator blade to dislodge whatever gunk was in there and that did the trick. It didn't this time and I was ready to spend some money. I was tempted to call our plumber and have them fix this for me (here take my money) but I thought to myself, how hard can this be. I was also tempted to take the whole thing apart to clean whatever was causing the blade to not spin but I'm sure I would have lost a few fingers or two if I did that. What did work was using something everyone already has lying around the kitchen - a butter knife. Take the butter knife and find the gap in the blade to insert the tip of the kn...

Success Story Renewing my Okta Maintenance Certification thru Examity

The Okta Certified Professional certification had to be renewed every 2 years and my maintenance exam was due on July 30, 2023. I was confident about passing the exam because I had just completed an HRIS mastering project and Okta. However, the exam format was unnatural using DOMC (discreet option multiple choice), so I had to study and review a fair bit of material to prepare. After studying a decent amount, I scheduled my exam for Tuesday, June 27, 2023. After hitting the next page, there was an error so I hit the back button and tried again. I was able to get it scheduled but didn't know that the exam date was actually scheduled for Sunday, June 25, 2023, for some reason. There was a confirmation email stating that but of course, I did not read it because I was focused on the Tuesday, June 27th date. I continued cramming until Tuesday but realized in horror that I was a no-show when I logged in 30 minutes before the exam at 10:30pm. If you have ever done offsite exams, yo...

High-blood Pressure Scare

My wife recently had an elevated high blood pressure. It was very unexpected as she was always showing me how low her readings were every time we checked together. I have always been the one constantly monitoring both cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar readings and am really surprised to find out that her readings went through the roof last week. My mother-in-law just left for Toronto last Sunday after a summer full of family gatherings. My wife complained days before that she had constant headaches and took the customary Advil whenever she feels the onset of migraine coming or when her time of the month is near. This time was different however. She said that her head felt like it was about to explode and she decided to check her blood pressure readings at home. The reading came back systolic 230 and diastolic 130. After seeing this, I immediately drove us to Surrey Memorial ER to get her checked out. If you have ever had the opportunity to wait in an emergen...
