Here’s a simple framework to […]

Alex Honnold’s Best Moments From #SkyscraperLive

I watched this after it was initially broadcast so I’d heard he makes it to the top of the building successfully. I still nearly shit myself watching – vertigo, worrying about a man falling to his death but also stunned at what human beings are capable of.

Wisdom Wednesday – Dilbert As A Management Role Model? (With Bonus Donald Trump Reference in 2006?!?)

In “honour” of the death of Scott Adams, I present one of the papers I wrote in library school. This was my Management class and, you won’t be shocked to hear that I had a lot of skepticism about what we were being taught (you’ll be more shocked to learn that management was my highest […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Rebuilding The Working Class

Saw the story I’ve copied below online and it made me think of the current Federal NDP Leadership Race where this is a major topic of conversation. It was also in the first provincial NDP Leadership race I was involved in where I got introduced to the term “Granholier Than Thou” as someone who was […]
