Another casualty in the land of UNH’s happened earlier this week,
Debra the tenant transportation driver/receptionist was “thrown under the bus” a metaphor meaning she
was fired in a unconventional manner.
Imagine showing up early for work on Monday morning usually at 8:15 am, do a run, come back to
the office and be handed a dismissal note from HOW Lynda Jones. :( Like anybody else you would be shocked and upset this
is similar to what happened to former HOW Stephanie Hager some years ago. Main reason for being fired: being too close
to the tenants. The only time I use the transportation
service was during the Christmas holiday season to the Annual Native dinner
held at a banquet hall on Kenilworth Ave. During this time I found Debra to be friendly,
cordial and professional. It’s
unreasonable to think a UNH’s staff member will sit with us at a dinner function
or drive a tenant to their destination and back and not have a light conversation. A few days ago for the first time I messaged
Debra on Facebook I expressed my sympathy and wished her well in the future she
replied back with a thank you. :)
UNH’s Maintenance Staff – I would like to thank Donna, Darryl
and Tim for the quick response to my fax. Finally the tenants on my floor will
not have to look at ugly blue recycling bins lined up near our entrance doors. It’s been an issue my neighbor and I presented
to HOW’s Lynda and Christine at a previous tenant meeting and yet they chose to
ignore our complaint. Even after the
meeting I privately reminded the HOW’s to take our complaint seriously, they
just sat there looking stupid. I don’t have
any respect for the HOW’s Lynda and Christine. No doubt they contributed to Debra’s
dismissal. Lynda walks around with the attitude she
owns the place and Christine follows her around like a lost mangy mongrel. I’m waiting for the day when I see them two skipping
down the KMHC hallway holding hands, smiling at each other and chewing bubble gum as they head for the bedbug room. :D
On Saturday June 20 2015 from 12 noon to 2 pm I plan to be at the
Aboriginal day celebrations at Gage Park, Hamilton Ontario Canada. Last year they didn’t have a good turn out so
this year I’m going to do my part by posting the link to the event. You’ll find me touring the event, soaking up
the sunshine and people watching, this usually gives me inspiration on what to
write on my next blog. When you see me at the celebrations don't forget a “Hi Tony!” Smile, wave, and I’ll wave back. It’s what we Natives do best. :)
