ADHD Life: (Dis)organizing complex, the structure and methods I use to keep squared away.

USE that beautiful, chaotic, system oriented ADHD brain. Don’t fight it, harness it. Open shelves don’t work for me, cabinets/drawers do. The little details I’ve learned about myself over the years are what make it possible for me to not live in a hoarder type place. Keeping tidy/organized happens

What are you sharing your bed with? Worker fired after reporting lice at Suncor Firebag.

I’ve been thinking about how to write about this one, it’s pretty much “worker uses correct channels to raise an issue then gets screwed for it”. We’re all familiar with that kind of thing at SUNCOR aren’t we? Anyways, this guy is an experienced Instrumentation Technician Journeyman. He has some saf

Organic Box 3 week trial experiment. Happy health kick, bit of a wallet shock though!

Well, I had three pretty satisfying weeks with Organic Box. Every day at work I had new fruits and vegetables and over the course of the weeks I noticed a bump in my general health. I felt more balanced energy and my whole system was functioning a lot more smoothly. (Yes, that’s code for pooping). [

Local Business Profile: SocialModern Pub 106ave @ 108st Edmonton

Sorry this one took a while. These guys got my attention. They’ve been shared on my Facebook wall (as well as promoted by advertisements) for a while now. I kept seeing this beautiful graphic for FREE BURGER. So I checked them out. Turns out they are locally owned and have some serious intentions on

A moment of wisdom on power, a ’la ADHDCanuck and FDR

IT’S ELECTION TIME. BE HEARD. Your silence is not a protest, it is a vote for everything you DON’T want to happen. I wrote that, for the back of my activist/blog business cards for a reason. No matter what our reasons are for not getting involved, or even just not supporting something good when it [

ADHD Life: Taxes.. Bane of my existence.

Little bits of paper and various scraps of information that has to be saved and organized throughout the year and completed by a certain date? Surely this was designed to screw with people like me. A complicated system that changes, which has no breakdown or well defined finish…incorporating tasks t

The NBA: National Benefit Authority Potential Scam Alert (Take Two)

A long time ago I wrote an article outlining my feelings about an organization called the National Benefit Authority. Serious red flags went up as I explored their service. It has since been one of my most read articles and gets a high volume of comments from others who have been ripped off or narr

Imagine being kicked out of your home because your wife had to pee. What the hell are we doing to our workers?

Insane right? This actually happened. I was contacted by the wife involved after she felt humiliated and upset by the harassment and intimidation at Suncor Borealis camp. Her husband now faces trouble at work and loss of his accommodations as a form of harassment. Remember, camp is “home” to tens of

Remember my charity truck? I’m still looking for someone to buy it or give it to! Help me out!

By way of a quick summary, I was donated a perfectly good 1996 Dodge 1500 full size pickup truck by a fellow Union member by the name of Andrew Leppard (“Stretch”). I am deciding between two options. Either fixing it up to donate it to a charity group, organization, or worthy individual where it can

From the tarsands workers to the world: Hear us!

This was passed to me via email by a worker on one of the biggest sites in the tarsands, where some of the most disturbing worker abuses are taking place. Not surprisingly it is SUNCOR once again. This letter has been sent to the premiers office as well as to many other workers and seems [...]
