What the heck!?

I had dizzy spells that lasted five days in a row. Went to see the doctor and was told that I have low blood pressure. She got me on medication and I actually felt better the next day. So, I thought since they have a machine at the “Shopper Drug Mart” I’ll do a regular check-up. Wow, the machine told me that I have high blood pressure and at the point that I need medication. WHAT THE HECK is going on? Back to the doctor next week. See, you guys have a lot to look forward to once reach over 50, all these illness creep up. I feel sick now! If I die tomorrow, please do not forget little ME! :)

A Pink Slip

Finally I got a registered letter from Birks for layoff. They don’t come in pink any more. Sadly say after working there over 7 years part-time, I’ll miss that place and my favourite customers. I do love talking to people and crack a joke now and then. I don’t miss facing the politic and experiencing backstabbing. O, I do miss very much of the STAFF DISCOUNT!! Birks is merging with another company in US, during the restructuring, layoffs always follow and that’s unavoidable. I have been waiting to see that to happen a year ago. This weekend I will make my final staff discount and say farewell to my co-workers. :)

2nd Board Meeting

We just had our first dance event for the elderly at the Club. It was a total disaster. This lady (one of the director and let’s call her Eva) whose self proclaim that she is IN CHARGE of the kitchen was not very organize in the meal line-up. She had people walked back and forth the line to get food and cutleries. There were drinks and deserts spilled all over the floor. Some elderly even stood there with the dinner trays not knowing what and where to go even I was there to help. I saw some elderly men were eating the cookies while they were filling their plates. I couldn’t say anything because she told me that she is IN CHARGED! Well, I brought this up at our second meeting last night and unfortunately the President is a good friend of hers. We as the Directors are allow to have two free drinks each event because of the time we donated to help out. Eva’s husband abused it by giving wine to her friends FREE (Perry/Ferella, KC/Shirley) and were caught by the vice-president that night. Of course, it was brought up at the meeting but the vice-president didn’t mention her name in courtesy but would like the Board keep track of all free drinks. That got turned down because the President herself loves her drinks and kept insisted that the drinks are not in retail price so therefore it doesn’t really cost the Club that much! I responded to this concern should be a matter of honesty and trust and we shouldn’t abuse it! The vice-president was so concerned of herself, she taped every Board Meeting just to cover herself in case of a lawsuit. This experience really open my eyes sadly say!

Hear this!!

I have decided to run for the position as one of the director at the Club. This will be my speech, what do u think?

My position at the City of Mississauga, Fire Department as the Assistant to the Chief of Training has enabled me to gain strong organizational skills which will greatly benefit the function of the Board. I will bring new and divergent news before the Board for discussion, and, hopefully, beneficial implementation to further the goals of the Club. In my view is to provide a Dance Club which is inclusive to all and not exclusive to any.

It will be my duty to represent the Club membership and bring their concerns before the Board for consideration.

You think they will buy this?!? :)
