My Anniversary At Canada Post
Mood:  lucky
I've been working at Canada Post for a long time. When I was studying to be a minister, I needed a job to pay for my studies, so the Post Office did the trick. I never became a minister, but I continued with CPC. Basically, I stuck with this day job to pay the bills. Pretty soon, I'll be able to collect my long running investment in this place called a company pension.

I've worked at many jobs(actor, singer, miner, laborer, counsellor, etc.)in my life. The "real me" is not on the shop floor of a Post Office, in the pulpit of a church or on some other "theatrical stage". The only time I get true satisfaction is from putting words together on a paper and telling stories.

What have you done with your life? Is there anything, you feel strongly about?

Top Ten Ways Canada Post Can Save Money
Mood:  sharp
1. Looking for the spots where mail is double or tripled handled and fixing it.
2. Bringing back seminars on "downtime activity" and getting everyone's input on this subject
3. Discontinuing seminars that don't accomplish anything like the recent supervisor's seminars that lasted three months but didn't change anything on the work floor
4. Locating mail that has inadequate postage or letter bills
5. Discontinuing or reducing the royalty payment to the Government. There is no further need for the Post Office to be a "cash-cow" for the Liberals. The deficit seems under control, so what's the big problem in directing some of this money back for improved service and to its valued employees?
6. Reaching an acceptable agreement with CUPW without going on strike and causing hundreds of millions of dollars of lost revenue
7. Adequately staffing and managing facilities like South Central and the BMF, so that hundreds of thousands and even millions aren't going for ridiculous overtime (It's still going on.).
8. Reaching an agreement with CUPW on how future pension surpluses and profits that can help pay for severance packages and other benefits like retirement health and dental premiums.
9. Asking for bids from competing insurance companies to replace the overpriced premiums from Great-West Life and Sun Life
10. Having a bonus program in place for CUPW members as well as management. All inclusive productivity bonuses will mean higher morale and better service to our customers.

Top Ten Rare Oldies Of The 50s And 60s
Mood:  lyrical
1."Jamie" by Eddie Holland 2."Let's Get Together" by Hayley Mills 3."Ginny Come Lately" by Bryan Hyland 4."Dreamy Eyes" by Johnny Tillotson 5."Hey, Little Girl" by Del Shannon 6."Lotta Lovin'" by Gene Vincent 7."Cinderella" by Paul Anka 8."That's Why" by Jackie Wilson 9."Walking Back To Happiness" by Helen Shapiro 10."Bless You" by Tony Orlando

You won't hear these tunes played on any oldies radio station. They're not great songs, but they are good songs and downloaded from the net. See if you can pick them up and tell me what you think of them.

Sure the Stones are coming to Toronto in July but...
we have to deal with premier Ernie Eves and his no star band first. They don't play with much energy.

P.S. The Rolling Stones are coming on July/30/03 to Downsview Park, other bands include A/C and Guess Who. They're expecting about 300,000 people for this gig.

Heat Wave
The temperature has been over 32 degrees all week. For some, that would be at the freezing point. For us in the Toronto area, it's time to replace the old air conditioning unit and drink a beer. What's it like where you live?
