Something to watch – Sugar: The Bitter Truth
| After watching this video, I’m thinking differently about how I’m going to eat in the future. It also changed the way I think about how I was eating a few years ago. If you have some time, I recommend watching it. A couple of years ago, I was in a relationship with a fascinating girl. Our compatibility aside, I learned a lot from her. She’s a very smart girl, and she was (and I assume still is) very serious about her nutrition. She’s vegetarian, and since we lived together, I adopted a |
An offer to help was fruitful
| I was tipped off to some chatter about PWGSC on Twitter. I hadn’t been monitoring our department name, mostly because the times I had were very quiet. But, now I’ll go back to watching the Twitter stream for my department’s name. This comment caught my eye. I replied “@ruk Don’t know how much I can do about helping you find an interviewee, but if yo |
The un-conference & government: A match made in heaven?
| Since I attended WIREDcamp roughly a month ago, I’ve been thinking a bit about using the un-conference model in government. WIREDcamp was hosted by the Ontario Government but open to Federal and municipal public servants, as well as not-for-profit-ers. I haven’t been able to come up with any negatives.

Lesson in crisis communication
| I had an experience this Tuesday past that I won’t soon forget. Following a 10 a.m. meeting, my manager brought me into an urgent situation. A tragic accident had occurred at a job site owned and maintained by another federal department and the contract for the work being done had been procured by the department I work for (PWGSC). One of the contractor’s employees had been seriously injured — possibly fatally, the media was on-site. That’s all we knew. First hour: The first step was getting the story straight. I learned as much as I could about the situation, as quickly as possible by talking with other stakeholder |
Losing my voice
| Photo credited to Flickr user Rakka I lost my voice… largely the reason for my blog’s stagnation. What do you do when you lose your voice after a bout of laryngitis? You let it heal. I’ll be honest, I work in an environment that has a certain level of toxicity. I saw some bitterness beginning to show through in my writing here, as well as in my Twitter posting. I decided to make a conscious effort to curb the bitterness, refocus my |
