[I’ve been thinking about this post since Jeff announced his retirement, plugging away at this post for a few weeks since his replacement was named and his final day set. But with Jeff’s last day being tomorrow, I figured I better finish it off tonight!] Long-time RPL Library Director & CEO, Jeff Barber, announced his […]

Music Monday – “Starting is easy I have found/In planting a seed, you touch the ground/But planting the seed doesn’t make it grow.”
Sad news about the passing of Canadian rocker, Sass Jordan. Back when I was a teen working in a gas station, the radio station the station’s radio was tuned to played set playlists that repeated on weekend evenings (likely to save on staff costs – fear of automation isn’t new!) I started to notice that […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Fixing The Exit Interview
I’ve spoken to a number of people recently who were leaving their organization – moving to another organization in a different industry, moving to another organization in the same industry, retiring, and leaving without a choice. The common element for all? Reluctance to do an Exit Interview/not being offered one. This is something I’ve thought […]
Wisdom Wednesday – It’s Not A MidLife (Uhm, 3/4 Life?) Crisis – Its What Happens In Your 50s
@simple_online_system Maybe it IS a midlife crisis. Or maybe somewhere along the way our priorities simply change. I still want to earn money. I still want to be useful. I still have ambitions.

Wisdom Wednesday – “What If They Don’t Want To Make It Better?”

I was sharing my frustration about how someone wasn’t willing to do something obvious that would be a significant improvement for the organization in multiple ways. […]
Wisdom Wednesday – I Don’t Want To Retire, I Just Want My Time Back
@simple_online_system I’m starting to realise I don’t necessarily want to retire. I still want to earn. I still want to be useful. I still want something to get up for. I just don’t want WORK deciding how I spend five days out of every seven. Maybe what I really want is control of my time. […]
Secular Sunday – Eagle Feathers
It’s stunning how many people think you have to swear on a Bible in court (that’d be a big “out” for me as an atheist! But atheists still have to swear a legally binding affirmation to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me, uh, Bob?)

Wisdom Wednesday – Can You Be Resilient to “Resilence”?
You know that feeling when you hear or say a word over and over so much, it stops having meaning? That’s sort of how I feel about the term “resilience”, especially in a workplace context. (Shea’s got me beat on that – she’s actually the one who hears it more than I do as that’s […]
