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...

The End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist.   Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room.   Who will be rehired and who will be fired!   I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway.   She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie.  Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me.  I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc.  It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

Lock That Door!

FOB A few years ago UNH’s installed electronic door locks on all levels of the KMHC building.   There was grumbling from tenants about the inconvenience but soon learn to adapt.   Before entry the tenant must have a FOB device to unlock and open the front door. *Similar to the image above*   Yeah it’s a pain in the arse when a tenant is carrying groceries and other items.   The one thing I like about the FOB lock system is when the building fire alarm is triggered all FOB locked doors electronically swing open.   Soon after the FOB lock systems were installed I notice something peculiar.   During office hours the basement door was jarred open by the UNH’s staff and I figured out why.   UNH staff was too lazy to get up off their seat and physically open the door for their visitors.   There is a security camera monitor at the reception desk and a buzzer that opens the main door but Jeezus Come on ladies!   Tenant elders are inst...
