What A Difference A Day Makes.

Laughter
A few days ago I mildly sprained my ankle and I’m recuperating by taking it easy.  So this morning my neighbor Miss Judy called and asked if I’d do an errand for her.  I replied sure this will give me a chance to get out and exercise my injury plus being cooped up at KMHC will drive me nuts.   As I was leaving my apt I heard strange noises coming from the KMHC office, it was a tenant talking to HOW Lynda.  When the tenant and I walked to the elevator I said “Holy Shit!  I thought you two were making out!”  She gushed and said No, I was explaining the sound coming from my dog.  The topics of discussion in this place are quite funny and strange.  :D  
Speaking about funny and strange. Walking home from my errand for Miss Judy I could see HSC Ingrid sitting in her grey van trying to be inconspicuous by staring at her cell phone.  Five minutes later there she is standing at the KMHC entrance looking confused while shuffling papers and holding a cup of coffee.   As soon as she saw me coming up the stairs the look of hate and hostility was visible.  The one thing she’s not good at is hiding her anger.  She’s like the Big Bad Wolf…she’ll huff and puff and blow your house down. :D  Oh My Goodness!  Whenever she frowns the wrinkled creases on her face and sagging jawline become more apparent.  Somebody should tell her negative emotions will cause high blood pressure and possible major health problems. This woman needs a better life or even still how about an early farewell retirement gathering.  I’d be honored to show her out the door. :D
The past week I had the pleasure of chatting with former UNH’s employees online.  I found out many interesting facts.  One is where does the UNH’s van go at night…Really Christine!  Joyriding around Hamilton at night is not the way to go.  Looks like HSC Ingrid failed to teach her children the importance of personal hygiene practices.  Red Alert!  Don’t use the main floor loo at UNH’s head office.  I heard the one at the basement is fresh and safe.   :D

I hope you enjoyed reading my amusing blog post as much as I enjoyed writing it.  TGIF Have a good weekend everybody.   Stay tuned for my next post.

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...

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...

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...
