Embarrassing & Funny Moments

Normally I don’t screw up but today it had to happen. A family member came for a visit and I decided to cook steaks for dinner we were so busy catching up on family news the steaks burned in the oven and it set off the smoke alarm. You’ll be happy to know my smoke alarm works perfectly.  Ha! It was funny watching the staff running around wondering what in the hell is going on and wouldn’t you know it Mrs. Deeley the Urban Native Homes Director was in the building.  I called in Charles the outreach worker to explain what happened I apologized and he was a good sport about it.  This was most embarrassing and will I cook again for visitors?…No way, it’s take-out from now on. ;)
Since this topic is about funny and embarrassing moments at KM I have to mention the laundry room - aside from us tenants using it for laundry purposes the staff seem to use it for a place of solitude.  I remember one time last winter Ingrid came out of the office she was adjusting her partial upper plate, she didn't see me coming in from outside and I said hello, she looked at me didn't say a word, turned and ran into the laundry room. LOL  And today as I was talking to a fellow tenant in front of my door, the Director came out of the office looked at us then immediately went into the laundry room and didn't turn the light on.  I don't know folks...there's something fishy going on in the laundry room for sure she wasn't there to fluff and fold her knickers. :D
Another funny moment during the summer I was walking by the courtyard and the super was leaning over weeding the garden facing the opposite direction. The scene reminded me of the baboons you see at the zoo with the big puffy arse. jk. ROTFL

And a fond farewell to Cheryl Trudeau the office worker she left UNH she's paddling away in her canoe to a land unknown.

Isn't it funny how no one, nada, zip comments are ever posted in response to any of your blog posts?? Hmmm why could that be now?
Oh I know! Because you read them first and if anyone opposes your view you simply do not make it public.. that explains why you have not one single comment..no ever has anything nice to say, not unlike yourself!

I disagree TBrant aka Jan P. in my experience as a Facebook administrator/moderator I know there are many internet viewers who just read and don't comment on blogs etc. And then there are the Trolls =(fake profilers who like to cause havoc by posting abusive anti social comments in groups/blogs/chatlines) These are the ones I keep an eye on. IMO trolls are cowards and should be taken out back and shot.
Am I worried about comments...Nope.. just look at my stats...nearly 1000 hits. Not too fuckin shabby if you ask me. :)

Re: TBrant your last 2 comments dated last night and this morning has been deleted but archived. Judging by your writings I'm now convinced you're Jan P. the superintent. You know some people should stick to what they do best..like mopping floors and I would suggest you stay off the bottle when you go online I'm not interested in your life story.

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee.   You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case.   March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC.   There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time.   Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job.  Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic.   Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct.  There is no real head office, the organization has s...

Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou

I hope one day we can truly say there is a haven where older natives who experienced homelessness can find a place to call home and have the resources available for the best quality of life in their golden years. Koo Ga Da Win Manitou Housing Complex has a long journey in order to reach that goal. Perhaps more funding is needed or better trained/experienced outreach workers who can relate to tenants concerns and health issues. Programs that would interest all tenants as a whole would be nice. Most important we tenants must try to get along with their neighbours. (as the good book says "Love thy neighbour") I've been here less then a year and I've observed alot, we have a diversity of tenants living in the building from different reservations and walks of life. Some have problems with alcohol, prescription drug addictions, physical disabilities and slight mental disabilities. The one thing we all have in common is our health concerns, from chronic back pain to deadly...

Wigwamin Terrace

After many years I received a call for Toronto Native Housing offering a vacancy so I decided to explore my options by attending a viewing of what's available. But first I did a phone interview with acting project manager Paul Feitelberg. He said my personal and financial information checks out fine then we talked about the negative reference I got from Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services. I was asked for my side of the story and I also invited Paul to read this blog site to find out more who I am.  A few days later I called Paul for an update, I was complimented on my blog posts and he could see the love and compassion I have for the Native people on this blog site.  Due to the Hamilton cyber attack it was difficult for Paul get a reference from my current housing provider so with my assistance I helped him get in contact with their office. I received an excellent tenant reference from my housing provider. When I asked about OAHS he said he's going to ignore their negative re...
