Who Said Non-Stop Playing Video Games Was Bad For You?

Incredibly proud of Pace who, along with two of his classmates from Thom Collegiate, got voted by his peers as having the second most popular video game in the video game class he took at Campus Regina! The class had students from high schools all across Regina and 13 different games being demoed at the […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Other People’s Strengths Are A Complement, Not A Threat

My first boss in libraries told me how important it was to have a team that had varied backgrounds and skill sets. “Everybody thinks it would be better to have a bunch of underlings who were just like them but that’s the worst thing you could have.” (Of course there was some irony that two […]

Saturday Snap – Felt A Bit Blue(y) At The Library Today

My job’s pretty fun somedays… (No, not me in the costume.  These were hired performers for a kid’s birthday party in one of our program rooms that agreed to do a few photos with staff and some lucky bystanders at the library this afternoon!)

It’s too important to back down. […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Morbidity and Mortality Conferences

I just finished a book called “The Big Fail: What The Pandemic Revealed About Who It Protects and Who it Leaves Behind” which is a fairly even handed look at the Covid pandemic, three years after it began, by the same journalists who wrote “Smartest Guys in the Room” about the Enron scandal.

Wisdom Wednesday – “You’re being incredibly unreasonable and someone needs to take the stick out of your ass.”

Little break from my usual rambles about management theory to share a TikTok my wife sent me. It’s the hilarious story of a boss who totally overreacts and makes a bigger deal than needed out of an employee being late due to a flat tire.  Absolutely hilarious and the person who made this TikTok nailed […]
