Attitude Adjustment




Oh Look! A monkey with attitude. :D

Since UNH’s head office move to the KMHC building the atmosphere around here has been pleasant.  I’ll sometimes exchange a hello or a wave with head office staff and all is well. :)  Then we come to the Housing Outreach Worker Lynda Jones this woman acts like a total bitch.  This morning I quietly drop off a maintenance work order on the UNH’s receptionist desk counter and H.O.W. Lynda Jones was standing nearby, to my surprise she said in a bitchy tone “You're not supposed to be in the office and any letters delivered under the office door will be sent back to you!”.  I didn’t respond to her words instead I dropped off the letter and left….I’m not going to play her game.  As an alternative Lynda could have said thank you or nothing since the letter wasn't addressed to her.  When it comes to tenant issues I will deliver my request as I see fit or we can go to the landlord and tenant board to resolve the issue.  It seems redundant to mail or fax a maintenance work order request when the UNH’s office reception is now 10 feet across the hall from my unit.  After a year and half HOW Lynda Jones broke the rule she’s not to speak to me and she needs an attitude adjustment.  As with the HSC Ingrid the silent treatment is over once Lynda opened her mouth.  Other UNH’s staff members are respectful and polite to Native elders there is no need for Lynda to behave in this manner.  With the UNH’s scandal still fresh in our minds what Lynda Jones did was ruin the already tarnished image and reputation of Urban Native Homes Inc.   Keep this up Lynda and you’ll be applying for E.I. benefits while polishing up your resume.  Remember you can be replaced. :P

On another topic I have to thank UNH’s maintenance dept. for responding to my previous work order request and it looks like the KMHC building grounds are finally being maintained.  The old furniture sitting at the side of the building was an eyesore and the lawn area has been mowed.

I have to admit I’ve been in a great mood since the UNH’s scandal broke out.  I go about my own business, greet my friends in the building and focus on activities away from KMHC.   Life is good.  :)

A few weeks ago I received this information from a reliable source. The main reason former HOW Christine Demik quit UNH's was to get away from Lynda Jones.

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...

The Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

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...
