I’ve spent a few days at the CUPE Sask convention this week and I honestly thought it was my first time attending but turns out my Covid brain fog is real because I found a pic I took when I was there in 2015. It’s of Sask Party Minister, Don Morgan, trying to be relatable […]
I talked to a twenty-something young man the other day who had never heard the term “Sandwich Generation”. Basically, the idea is that anyone who has kids (whether they’re young or older but who still need financial support and/or who live at home) and also elderly parents who they are responsible for caring for is […]
One of the great ironies of the working world is that we often questions like the one above in interviews of new staff but then hire people who don’t feel empowered to actually go “above and beyond” to help people.

Got a surprise call at work from Great Canadian Brewhouse East who have a weekly promotion where they deliver pizza to a random nearby business or organization for Free Friday Lunch.

Pace worked at the Pats game last night slinging popcorn and drinks as a fundraiser for a school trip…
The new artificial intelligence service, ChatGPT, has taken the Internet by storm and with good reason – this is incredibly realistic (mostly), fast, free artificial intelligence that has potential to revolutionalize the world in numerous ways improving exponentially from similar earlier services. (Of course, as someone pointed out on Reddit, “everyone thought Excel would revolutionize […]
