Hamilton Indigenous Housing

Also known as the shits. There’s a “Tenant Notice” posting at three locations of the building warning us that a tenant has the virus. After having a long conversation with the tenant in question and was assured the virus is gone I have no worries. What bothers me is how the KMHC office knew about it.   Immediately the tenant was treated like a leaper. The tenant was banned from attending any programs in the community room, KMHC suggested the tenant be quarantined to their unit.   What shocked me the most is when the UNH’s Director verbally banned the tenant from attending their fundraising Kick Off BBQ which was held at the outside courtyard.  Two hotdogs & a bottle of water Wow! Some BBQ.  :P The KMHC office was told by a blabbermouth tenant who can’t seem to mind her own business and the office right away swings into action without consulting the person with the virus.   Informing the tenants of the virus could have been handled more discreetly ie...

On Monday I dropped off a work order/letter to the KMHC office.   I had a minor electrical problem that needed attention.   I was surprised to get a phone call the same day from Teresa Workman at the head office maintenance dept.   I explained in detail the problem and later Darryl Powell showed up for the inspection and on Friday morning young Cody Powless replaced the electrical unit. :) I have to compliment the UNH’s maintenance staff all three employees were friendly and courteous, It was a great way to start off the weekend.   Happy faces throughout the building from my fellow tenants, even from the office staff, minus the HSC of course.  I’ve been having fun with all the security cameras recently installed in the building.   When the mood strikes I give a little show I might do a little dance or wiggle my butt or blow kisses at the camera just to piss off the HSC Ingrid    Who knows!  One day I may do a strip tease on camera for her...

On March 24 2013 I dropped off a written request to the KMHC office, I would like to read my personal file to look for discrepancies plus for my own interest. I’m probably the first tenant at KMHC to ever ask to read the documents    According to the UNH’s Tenant handbook, page 30, Tenants have the right to see their personal file if they wish to. It’s going on two weeks and once again the HSC Ingrid Nosel has ignored my written letter, so far I have not received a follow up or an explanation on the delay. This is what happens when one goes by proper procedures.   Fuck all!  This also raises a cloud of suspicion and makes me wonder what is the HSC hiding!   Perhaps she’s made false statements and afraid I’ll find out.   You know readers this is what started the riff between Ingrid & I, She pulled this shit on me a few years ago. I can’t stand laziness and incompetence and I’ll never understand why UNH’s keeps her employed here. On other ne...

Yes I know what you’re thinking. What is the author referring to. Well Folks!  Yesterday as I was about to leave the building guess who was standing outside at the entrance way?   It was Ingrid Nosel fumbling with her keys, she looked miserable as always and totally 'out of it'.   I waited a second then I decided to open the door to leave, I didn't say a word then walked by her to check my mail. Since she likes issuing N-5 notices to tenants I’m giving her a new Indian name “N-5”. So if you see her waddling down the street due to her thighs rubbing together just point and say “There goes N-5”. :D A new tenant came up with a great idea, a food box to share with other tenants any items that are not used are put in the box so other tenants can help themselves.   It’s like a tenant food share program. I’ve donated many items and I hope this catches on. I can already see since Jan Porter quit her job things are not done efficiently around here. The front entrance win...

Hey bloggers I just received a phone call from my sister Leanne, our aunt Emily (my mom’s sister) has passed away.   Gosh!   The last time I saw her was last year at my niece Jennifer King’s Christmas family gathering.   Aunt Emily was sharp as a pencil and the oldest in the King family, 86 yrs. I adored her, one time she said I reminded her of brother Sherwood King. Details of a memorial service for Emily King-Daigneault are sketchy at this time, my sister Leanne said it will be held at the St. Catherines Ontario Native Centre. She’ll keep me updated as more information comes in and I'll post it here RIP Aunt Emily  :(

Today tenants received a note under the door informing us of her resignation. Boy! I never saw this coming I was sure she’d be here until the building crumbles.   Like I said in a previous post she’s a good maintenance worker but unfortunately she doesn’t communicate well with others. She’d be perfect getting a job in the private sector and running a warehouse by herself   I remember one time before I moved here I was walking along King William, she was putting out the trash when an elderly person across the street fell on the ground, she ran right over to assist the poor woman. That act of kindness is something I would have done. Come to think of it that was my intention when Holy Moses fell in the laundry room and Ingrid Nosel got all pissy about it at the Christmas luncheon and called the cops.   The Super had her own unit at the top floor of this building but never interacted with us after working hours. She kept to herself and did her own thing, she was a loner...

As you may recall in a previous post Spencer Waboose was stressed out to the max due to the eviction notice Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou filed against him.. Thanks to my blog site he received many comments of support from Social Media and when I told him this he felt better knowing he’s not alone. I offered my advice and was willing to walk him to the legal clinic but in the end he declined and decided to bail out.   Fellow tenant Pete & I were the most supportive to Spencer’s dilemma we didn’t want to see him on the streets. After checking many options Spencer decided to move in with his brother at another city.   The Waboose family Sandra and Spencer’s brother were there for him, they sat at the table and worked out a solution and I think it’s a good one and beside who am I to interfere in other family matters.   Spencer asked me if I would help with the moving and if I could find a helper. Yeah I found one alright :P  Fellow tenant Deano who was too busy goofing off...
