Text of the page (random words):
ts and their clients but he is one person between them and the corporate machine imagine again how this must feel the stress the worry over time it has a crippling effect as bosses say one thing but in fact ok the doing of other things imagine that you point out that customers are losing being taken advantage of due to changes in policy and your superiors tell you that this was an expected side effect that they would knowingly rip people off how would you as an honest person deal with this in our scenario the honest man informed these clients via a mass mail out that their products were expiring due to lack of representation according to the company records he included a trusted contact in that letter incase they wanted to prevent their losses he tried to protect customers against losing money and protection many responded with gratitude not knowing that their representative was gone and they were glad to save their products they d spent so much on unfortunately some of these clients did have representation but it wasn t in the records and one of these brokers got very po ed and thought that the company and the honest man were trying to steal his clients the company wasn t happy about this or the fact that their negligence had been brought to light our honest man had since left the company s employ and was exploring the possibility of creating a business with his friend the trusted contact he d suggested to the clients just when things were finally looking brighter for our honest man the doom came allegations were being made about his actions suggestions were made that he d acted to benefit himself a complaint was lodged with a regulating body and an investigation commenced while this investigation took place however the honest man could not continue building and working on the business he d so hoped to vreate as a way to provide for his family his stress levels and anxiety for the future grew and grew he told the regulators his side of the story and provided documented proof of the company s actions the investigation dragged on for 2 full months the honest man appealed to a government official to look into the case and make sure the regulators were not being influenced by the huge corporation then the investigation was finished and the regulators decided that the honest man was wrong to have chosen loyalty to the law and what s right over loyalty to the company their letter insinuated that he should have turned a blind eye to the illegalities the honest man was crushed those in charge of protecting the public against corporate wrong doing had found in favor of those doing wrong rather than he who d been trying to defend and protect the victims his reputation as a good and honourable person was now besmirched on the public record and the company was laying liability of their actions at his door when they were sued it was all too much betrayed by the company the industry the regulators and the government the honest man fell into the very deepest despair isn t that a tale would make one hell of a novel for ol johnny grisham wouldn t it this stuff could never happen in real life could it it must be some sort of crazy delusion of conspiracy theory except that in the fiction there would probably be some sort of happy ending where the company and regulators and government officials get theirs and our hero the honest man is validated and vindicated and everybody good lives happily ever after in real life we could only wish that this would happen as a result of that deepest darkest despair my honest man and i have decided to put some distance between us and the hateful mess for the health and well being of our family unit we are pulling up stakes and heading east to go back to a simpler life working to live rather than living for the career we are making drastic changes including the move such as down sizing our possessions to fit into a smaller accomodation looking for lower income employment because it offers less responibility than management did and also because thats all there is in the small town world we are relocating to let someone else save the fucking world we will save ourselves thank you very much its been 5 years in this place 5 years of his hard work and we did have some good times that job was wonderful in so many ways he found it challenging never dull exhilerating by times and he believed in what the industry offered people and did his best for his clients so that they could do their best for theirs we met wonderful people and had adventures we never could have had if it hadn t been for his position our house while messy and chaotic is our dream home and we had such plans for it even though we never intended for it to be our last house we just didn t envision leaving it under such a cloud of misery yet as the great lyricist said every dark tunnel has a light of hope so don t hang yourself with a celibate rope there is joy in this move small town life is good being close to family and support again is very good changing our focus to simple pleasures and loving rather than having them secondary to achieving is also good we are bustin a move toward happiness again may you be happy and healthy and have what you need see you on the other side posted by ali p at 7 30 a m 6 comments wednesday august 18 2010 nova scotia hello from wonderful nova scotia the boys and i drove here on thursday last and have been enjoying as much as we can of the beaches and our wonderful friends and family we were blessed with sunshine for the first 4 days of our visit and managed to do 5 beaches in 3 days by monday cam flat out refused to even consider a beach outing claiming he was beached out so we went shopping you just can t beat guy s frenchies the best thrift store shopping ever i went into the nearest one hoping for some pants for the fast growing thing 2 and came out 58 dollars poorer and his wardrobe quite enhanced manly terry bathrobes for both boys 1 pair jeans one pair cords one pair tony hawk cargo shorts several shirts for cam and at least 2 for ben i also got a couple of tops for the cooler weather for myself 4 and a couple of books 3 beat that retail stores tuesday which is still today in my head we went to visit my mom and dad i timed it to send the boys to a movie while i went to pick up my mom and together she and i went to the home dad s been moved now for a couple weeks almost i think to the more secure but much more enfeebled infirmary wing it smells like pee its noisy with various yowlings and hacking coughs etc when we arrived the nurse dad was speaking to pointed us out to him as we approached but we didn t really register with him he continued to mutter and ramble at the nurse and gradually we eased him away to get changed from his soiled pj s to clean ones then we managed to coax him into a wheelchair because walking was tiring him and took him outside for fresh air and a turn or twenty around the gardens through it all he continued to be fairly incoherant i would make comments on what was there and he commented on what he percieved and if we were lucky it might be the same thing yet for all that he was more or less content his eyes were bothering him so he tried eating supper with his eyes closed with some assistance from me at this point i had to pick the boys up so we said our goodbyes which didn t much register with dad mom as usual tried to force his attention but can t seem to understand that it doesn t work or why it doesn t its not a willful thing taking his face and turning him to face her eye to eye and speaking firmly as if to a child does not work and usually agitates him trying the same method to get a kiss goodbye while he is focusing on his supper is also doomed to failure she still does it though i was content to kiss his head and offer a gentle hug that didn t interfere with his dinner attention and a heartfelt i love you daddy to which he actually replied with a a lovely response though i m not sure he meant it for me since i m not 100 sure he knew who i was we left and retrieved my boys and took mom to the grocery store where she got disoriented as to what aisle the tissue paper prducts were in rather than take my suggestion that we try the next aisle she chose to ask a store employee where the kleenex was he jovially answered that the paper products were in the next aisle she then insisted taht they d been moved from the aisle we were in and where she was sure she always bought it his confused yet eager to help expression and answer to the negative that no they hadn t been moved kind of clued mom in that she was wrong once we reminded her what we were there for again diabetic vanilla boost and kleenex she was ok again i got her a cold rotisserie chicken plate for dinner thinking it would be more substantial that the leftover soup she was planning to have then we took mom home i know its wrong but i can hardly stand to be around her at least in her house i know she wanted us to stay longer and for supper but the idea of it made my skin crawl i spent my teen years in that house and they were not terrible by any means but now as an adult it makes me claustrophobic the nictine stained walls and ceiling the smells of air fresheners and the like over the stink of 30 years of cigarettes nauseates me and after the mice incident from my last visit my usually mild germ phobia rears its ugly head my house maybe untidy and carry its own patina of grime but i also disinfect quite a bit i go through a lot of environmentally unfriendly and possibly toxic disinfecting wipes and a fair bit of bleach in the run of a month thanks to my better than it used to be germ issue and hand soap but i digress i am so gonna go to hell for not being more tolerant of my elderly mother i need some more beach time i think hello clam harbour this weekend posted by ali p at 1 50 a m 1 comments thursday august 05 2010 thursday gratuitous hippopotamus shots because they were my favourite part of granby zoo love what a week not in a bad way mind you i got my shop on at a couple of thrift stores which led to getting my shop on in the hardware store you know how it is on tuesday i decided that i was going back to a thrift store i visited last week to grab the rattan shelving unit i saw for 20 bucks it was seriously fugly with its incorporated wine rack donations welcome maybe a nice merlot and had been partially painted with an ivory flat latex the horror the wine rack hadn t been painted and the paint job itself was very bad 6 cans of gloss ivory coloured spray paint later its much cleaner looking and will be holding all of my crafting books and some assorted crafting stuffs needles iron sewing basket etc in my craft space studio in the basdement family room i m very excited because gradually i have been hauling all my yarn and crap downstairs and for the first time in perhaps my life all my craft stuffs will have a central location this is my place and the rest have been warned on pain of death to keep out there is still some hauling and organising to be done but its shaping up and making me happy pictures will come eventually next week i am heading east so excited i hope we have good weather while we are there because i need some beach time lets see what else i have more duties with the yarn company i work for now and thats fun and new no new escapes for da miss kitty comes home all the time now that mouche is gone did i mention that mouche had to go because of his treatment of miss kitty now she comes and goes as before and it makes me so happy that she is actually coming back home again as opposed to hanging around other people s houses pippin was neutered today and needs to have his urine tested to check for crystals i am waiting for him to gimme a sample eeeew so i can run it to the vets tomorrow i got an awesome deal on a big book about textiles for beginners how to knit crochet weave felt and quilt it was regularly 19 99 uk but i got it for 10 canadian schweet i went back the next day to nab the last copy for my lovely friend and fellow enthusiast barb the upstairs bathroom is finally finished check out the photos above so much prettier than its former self the nightmare of the last two months seems to be almost over it has to do with hman s old job and his new career plans and how things are not going well thanks to some hiccups and monkey wrenches caused by his old job we were told yesterday that the issues may be resolved soon but don t know whether it will be a resolution in our favour yet that light at the end of the tunnel is glimpsed and we are trying to keep it together and prepare for the worst and hope for the best just knowing its soon over is heartening its more than we knew before we have been seriously stressed over how long this was going to go on 6 months a year yet how long a wait is this soon to all of my friends and family that have been my shoulders to cry on sounding boards and support i want to say thank you very much i hope i can be as supportive and soothing as you all have been posted by ali p at 10 04 p m 3 comments friday july 30 2010 my da s famous now dad moved into his new digs at the home on saturday with the aid of my wunder sistah and her husband it was all so new and a tad confusing for him he does like his new comfy chair and does spend time in the lounge with the other residents there have been a few getting settled issues but the staff is used to things like that and all in all da is doing fine however one incident has made da the home celebrity amongst the staffers maybe i should say he s become infamous rather than famous on da s 3rd day in residence the home recieved a phone call do you have a resident by the name of r s why yes we do please hold and i will transfer your call no don t bother i just wanted to make sure that this is where he belongs yes he s over here at the hospital on the 5th floor where he was living before his transfer and then mild panic ensued i am sure dad was returned to the home safe and sound and cheerful after his unsanctioned visit to his former nurses and an emergency staff meeting was held to discuss the security breach that is my da it was debated whether to move him to a more secure area in the home but that would remove him from the other more active residents and stick him in the area where the more bedridden etc are located his nurses stood up for him though stating that it was only his 3rd day and that he deserved more time to settle in and learn the rules etc their wiser heads prevailed and da stays put for now with an extra set of eyes watching to make sure he doesn t walk out the front door alone again thanks to the incident though everyone that works there knows who he is he s both baffled and chuffed as to how all these nice people know him he is greeted cheerfully by name as he walks the halls to this or that destination or when he is encountered by any staffer how does everyone here know me he has wondered to my sister i m sure it wa...
