“In British Columbia (BC), the only animals that carry rabies are several species of bats. About 0.5% of bats carry rabies in BC but on average, 8% of bats sent for rabies testing are positive. That is because bats that come in contact with humans or domestic animals are more likely to carry rabies. Bat bites and scratches may transmit rabies. Bats should be left undisturbed unless there is a suspicion of rabies exposure or other harm”

Just to expand on your point about being careful but also to highlight that thankfully it’s a small percentage of bats that carry rabies :)

That’s a great point. The convenience of the iPad for most things is very high and it’s likely that I’d want to be home for any serious work instead of at school for extra hours.

Thank you!

True, I often forget about that option. Thank you!

That’s basically what I was thinking or the Smart Folio so I can flip it around. Being able to remote in should be viable for me with my home upload speeds.

It seems like MSP doesn’t cover counselling, even with referral, but perhaps your spouse’s workplace offers something like Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Many jobs that I’ve had in BC that offer benefits also offered an EAP for their employees and spouse/dependents. They usually have a phone number that you can call to setup 5-10 free counselling sessions “per issue”. I’ve had them extend sessions beyond the limit before by calling back, but that is EAP dependent most likely.

EAP can offer other “extras” as well, but again depends on the package the workplace offers its employees.
