Those Lazy Aliens
Well, the big hub bub yesterday was new staff mailboxes. We work with the John Howard Society in their "Fine Options" program. That means, when someone gets a ticket for... say, jay walking, instead of paying the government the big bucks, they work off the value of the fine, based on minimum wage, at the Regina RESCUE Mission.
Well, as with everything else in life, with the Fine Options program, you win some, and you lose some. That means, some people come around, sign in to the log book, get assigned their task, and then, as soon as you turn your back to leave the room, they get frozen in time. You come back, and there is no progression of work whatsoever. Personally, I attribute it to aliens. I'm pretty sure they're conducting random experiments with our Fine Options workers.
But, there are those who are immune to the aliens super-powers. In fact, they seem to have a reverse effect. It is for those people we are truly connected with the John Howard Society. One of them... we call her "Parking Ticket Lady" is AMAZING! She built us new mailboxes. Imagine, every single staff member having their own box AND we have room to hire more staff! It's the mailbox of faith, because there are 25 slots instead of 15!
So, I'd like to thank those Fine Ops Workers who have alien immunity:
Victor - Joe - Blaine - Cindy
Thanks for going above and beyond the call of duty!

That's a beautiful blog about Karen. I'm proud to volunteer at the Mission... to be a small part of such a wonderful thing! That's why the aliens never got me ;)
Awww, that's sweet - thanks!
If you are ever looking for a career change, I think you would make a very entertaining writer or journalist!!!
