When I was first offered the unit near the office I was apprehensive
to accept it but at the time I had no choice it was the only one available. I didn’t like the idea of staff and tenants
being so close together. UHN’s policy: the
staff is not allowed to fraternize with the tenants. It’s a good idea if the
office was at a different location or had its own floor and entrance. The KMHC is a small building every day I see
at least one employee in the hallway going about their business or outside
having a smoke. The interior of the office is so cramped and small I
remember the first time I can here I was not impressed. An unfinished warehouse
area in the back and two small rooms in the front, staff were actually bumping
into each other. The Community room is small about the size of a bachelor apt
actually I’m sure that’s what it originally was, it has a built in closet and
sink.
This week at KMHC was uneventful, I had a maintenance problem
that needed to be fixed and within 24 hours it was resolved. As I said before in a previous blog it’s
going to be awkward ignoring the outreach workers and the cleaner when we pass
in the hallway but that’s what “Big Baby” Ingrid wants….everybody to feel her
pain. :P This won’t stop me from visiting, chatting or greeting my
fellow tenants when we meet in the hallway or at the entrance.
There's a new sign on the office door "Tenants must phone first to schedule an appointment with staff" aka No walk-ins allowed and we don't accept smoke signals. Could the tenants be pestering the office!...Oh My Gosh call the police. :P

Speaking of tenants the first week of December 2012 I ran
into Bob a former tenant of KMHC at the mall. He had something interesting to
say. “Tony I heard you’re on your way
out”, I replied WTF are you talking about? He
said Ingrid had been talking to tenants Norma and others about you. I said “Ok thanks for the information.” For those who don’t know, it’s against UNH’s policy for
staff/management to discuss personal issues about a tenant to other tenants. This is a breach of confidentiality, Ingrid Nosel has violated this rule.
Stay tuned for my next blog I'm working on....someone from
upper management has spoke up. ;)
