Goodbye Miss. Abby

As you know earlier this year UNH’s was forced to move out of their previous address thus invading the KMHC building, a lot of tenants were not pleased with the arrangement.  Those who live on my floor could hear loud chatter from the staff and the moving of office furniture. The low ceiling claustrophobic office reception area with harsh florescent lighting is cramped which is why I never liked entering.  There is only one washroom for staff located near my unit so at times I can hear them doing their “business” and beating up the paper towel dispenser afterwards. :D

Aside from this there was one blonde young lady who stood out from all the rest I call her Miss Abby.  I would describe her as bubbly with a perky personality that brightened up the KMHC building. :)  Miss Abby reminded me of my favorite niece Tanya.  She has her own style of dress which I assume HSC Ingrid didn’t approve of.  I say this because years ago prudish Ingrid complained to a former H.O.W. about wearing tight fitted clothes.  I suppose Ingrid likes them fat and frumpy looking which would explain why H.O.W. cop caller Lynda J. is still here. :D

Anyway back to Miss Abby she is hip, cool and just a joy to be around.  When she first arrived here we were greeted with a Good Morning! or a friendly wave and smile whenever I and other tenants passed by the office or the hallway.  Unfortunately this didn’t last long I knew UNH’s management would eventually order her to shut up.  For criss sakes!  She's the receptionist her job is to greet and be courteous.  I haven’t seen her around in a few weeks, there was talk among the tenants she was fired because she was too close to the tenants.  Aside from the rumours I recently was informed by a reliable source Miss. Abby quit UNH’s. & I believe it.  Like former H.O.W. Christine Demik the young ladies decided they had enough and it was time to move on.  Do you hear that Lynda Jones! :P  From my perspective Miss Abby would be excellent as a store manager in a ladies clothing boutique or receptionist in a large corporation working for a boss that appreciates her abilities.  On behalf of the KMHC tenants a goodbye and farewell to Miss. Abby and to her family.  Live long and prosper. :)

UNH’s has a new dude in the KMHC building his job title – program coordinator.  I met him the other day in the courtyard, he briefly explained his plans we then shook hands and I wished him good luck....because he'll need it.  

On Friday I received a call from Mike Forestes of Wesley Urban Ministries he’s the new multicultural facilitator for older adults in the Hamilton downtown area.  I was invited to a meet and greet focus group on Monday, I met up with old group members I haven’t seen in a while then we shared ideas and listened to Mike’s up and coming programs and educational trips.  I will share more about this in my other blog site on a later date. :)
