1. Work, work, work….. CMC Stairs, mental night work(balance hard daytime work) and weekend work – outside. Hey I want Dance of Life Quality now. Critical Imperative ! 2. Drop In Certification to get tickets to work in union sites. Got to apply for courses through form. 3. Get my arrears back on track –…

http://business.financialpost.com/2012/08/07/physicist-explains-in-horrifying-detail-how-the-next-shock-will-shatter-the-global-economy/ The author and premise is not far off the mark here. We are so globally connected and dependent on far flung countries and their economies that 1 event could be the spark to touch and transform the entire world in 1 fell swoop. Everyone is at risk in my opinion and no one insulated…

http://business.financialpost.com/2012/08/12/driving-home-the-importance-of-the-pitch-and-how-zipcar-failed-the-test/ A direct quote from the article – “Satchu’s stock in trade is discomfort. He’s adopted a definition of entrepreneurship developed by Harvard business professor Paul Gompers: “The relentless pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled.” That means anyone pursuing an entrepreneurial endeavour can expect to spend most of their time feeling painfully…

http://business.financialpost.com/2012/08/09/mark-carney-says-hes-ready-to-blow-the-whistle-on-misbehaving-banks/ Just as sure as I’m getting ready to fly back to Ottawa next month, NRGY prices are sure to follow suit. Gas prices will go up and then up and up they’ll continue to go. Watch out for the October/November critical timelines for prices to start their sharp increases. I’ve decided not to put…

http://business.financialpost.com/2012/08/10/quebecs-move-to-shield-rona-from-lowes-takeover-could-end-badly/ Regardless of how it looks, not having bothered to have read the article, I’m convinced that it is NOT in the best interests of either Quebec or Canadians for that matter to sell Rona to Lowe’s. First and foremost, Lowe’s intention and without Home Depot’s lack of argument against a takeover over of Rona…

Decided I’m going dancing.  Who knows, think Vinyl or Twisted.  We’ll see. Had to bring my backpack and laptop back home – can’t go Dancing with packing something around and not expecting to lose it – right??? Okay and the rest didn’t work out as planned, but I did enjoy my sleep last night. Seems…

http://www.ottawasun.com/2012/08/11/projector-falls-silent-at-mayfair Hmm, aren’t things Grand…. Deja Vu I would say. Okay let’s back up to 1988. Seems to me almost just like yesterday. Here I was working at the Wheat Berry being homeless(yep that’s another story for another day) when there was talk of closing down the Rideau Street Cinema(sorry right now can’t remember the…

http://www.ottawasun.com/2012/08/11/fighting-gangs-more-than-cops-work-says-chief As I said in the previous post, I’ll be back to comment on this article after I scrutinize it word for word. It merits comments in my own humble opinion now that I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Ottawa seedier side of Lowertown and as an experienced father of 2 young kids. Stay Tuned…

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/public-needs-improved-access-to-canadian-courts-chief-justice-says/article4476757/ I’ll be back to carefully comment on this article shortly. At the moment while reading this I’m in Saturday night mode on 17th in Calgary admiring and enjoying people. Hey, I’m a party animal that enjoys watching…. what can I say, but I respectfully intend to read this article word for word and post…

http://www.househunting.ca/calgary/real-estate/article-archive/Stepping+inner+city/7071280/story.html Now you’re talking. It’s absolutely great to make connections between what your doing at work and who you’re serving at the end of the line. That’s the difference between dragging your ass into work and working passionately to make people’s lives happier and better. Now it’s not just stairs I help put together at…
