An Observation, Not A Bulletin

I’m enjoying the summer it’s been easy going around here and I do my bit to assist my fellow tenants when needed and it’s appreciated. :)

Now on to the good stuff: The crazy cat lady has stopped being an annoyance in the hallway, she spends most of her time terrorizing the people across the street. I don’t know if it’s the hot weather but last week the Super approached me and asked if I was pulling weeds out of the garden, I said to her No! and thought why the fuck would I do that. It’s always a delight to chat-chat and share a few laughs with office staff Lorraine and trainee Jessica about the mundane. Re: my neighbour and friend Deano sometimes I don't understand his way of thinking but he has good intentions. :) Today I dropped by UNH’s office to do some business and I noticed the staff wandering and hanging around the reception area checking me out. Jeez! Wouldn’t you know it once the Director saw me, she turned and hid in a back room then a male office employee called out her cab is waiting, I thought “CAB!” This woman really does have her hand in the cookie jar. Obviously she’s been reading my blogs she just walked by with her nose in the air and ignored me. :D

A good bye to Mr. Ken Fitzsimmons even though I never got the chance to test out his driving skills he has a comedic personality and dressed well for the job. Now I know you're waiting for a comment about the acting HSC…not much to say about Ingrid she sits in her office with the lights off and burns tea candles and periodically come out to use the washroom, such an impressive job.

A member of the Tenant Association asked if I would help advertise their upcoming yard sale/fundraiser via the internet and I agreed, I’m more then happy to help out and a memo to UNH’s.....the proceeds are for tenant programs I don’t want to hear that a staff member dipped into the pot for cab fares and fancy luncheons at Hess Village. :P

I will be posting the ad next week…stay tuned.

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...
