To creeps who decided to help themselves to my personal belongings while I was at work, you've been spotted! I sincerely hope that it was worth it for the things that you stole. A 2 yr old laptop that isn't worth much, yet has priceless memories in photos. My deceased mother's jewelry, again, not worth a lot, yet priceless to me. My kid's game system and games, among other things. Police were called, finger prints and shoe prints taken. I hope you are found, but most of all, I just want my things back! I'm glad nobody was hurt, but my heart is aching it makes me so sad that people feel that they can help themselves to things that aren't theirs. If you have any decency, you will return the items as, as I mentioned before, they're not worth a lot of money, but hold priceless sentimental worth to me!

Shout out to the rude parents attending the Firehorse Leadership presentation at Sarah Parks Horsemanship yesterday, Friday July 18th.
Love it when photog parents attend events and stand in front of others, talk, lean into others personal space, and shift around the room in an effort to catch the best picture of their adorable one. Get a grip people. It is a little kiddie presentation, sit down, shut up, and enjoy the efforts that your child AND mine worked hard to practice so they could show off their skills.
Oh, and to the Mommy who brought her clearly overtired toddler, who should have been napping, shout out to you in the form of " thank you!". You daughter had no interest being in a cold barn, bitten up by flies, and no toys, or treats to soothe her. Her yelling and crying was enjoyable. You took the cake though when you left her outside the barn screaming for you while you took a puck of your " cowboy". However when the normally docile German shepherd gave your daughter a loud warning by snapping at her with a deep growl because she was agitating the poor animal, your dumbass response to stay positioned several feet away from her to capture your perfect shot of your other son, was appalling. You are an idiot lady, and since your husband was there too, he obviously is not much better.

Yesterday at work, a customer had come through my till. I don't usually work on cash, but this shift was an exception. I made every effort to give my customer a smooth, friendly check out. I was polite as usual, asked if she found everything okay, and did my job with a smile on my face. As I handed her bag to her and wished her a good day, she turned to me and said "so you don't say thank you anymore?" ... I was so confused. And I asked, "pardon?" she repeated her question. I proceeded to say thank you and have a good day, clearly not understanding why she was so snarky with me. She stormed off with a big, loud "ugh" after reading my name tag. It completely ruined the rest of my work day.

To anyone who has been lucky enough to not work in retail: be nicer to those of us who do. Just because I'm standing behind the counter and you're in front, doesn't give you the right to blatantly disrespect me.

Signed,
The girl who'd rather work on the floor.

I went to the Colour Run today and spotted the Windsor Parking Meter Maids ticketing all of the cars on side streets parked at meters that expired. I know its the bi-law in Windsor. I also know that downtown Windsor has become a ghost town of only "bar-hopping" teenagers and vacant, abandoned offices and past retail stores. An event like the Colour Run brings OVER 10 THOUSAND PEOPLE to the downtown core, where the city NEEDS people to go. So I ask the politicians of Windsor to give me a great reason as to why you cannot have "slack" days for one day events like these in an effort to make Windsor downtown vibrant again, with a good economy. Personally, I parked in the FULL parking garage. But friends of ours had to go to the meter 2 times during the event to put in more coins. And on the final one, they had a Meter-Maid 2 cars down from theirs, hovering around, waiting for the final 3 minutes to tick off their meter clock. WAKE UP POLITICIANS!!!! And this event was in support of the local Alzheimer's Charity as well. Wake up Windsor Politicians!

Some companies underestimate the power of social media! One week ago yesterday....July 10 my mother contacted Sears Canada because her washer quit working and she had bought the service/ maintenance contract with them. My mother has bought maintenance contracts for every Kenmore product she has ever bought, which is all her appliances. They have made megabucks off of her. So.....On July 10, they gave her a date for the service rep to attend her house to make the repair - on August 6.....first date available! My mother is 82 years old....and the closest laundromat to her is at least 20 km away. But apparently....they don't care! I have been on the phone with Sears....on July 11...at which time I was told to escalate by emailing them....which I did on July 11. On July 15....I had not heard from them, so I emailed them again. Nothing. On July 16 I called them Marco told me he would contact dispatch and then email or call me in an hour. Did not happen!!! July 17, I called and spoke with Maria. Maria could not find any record of my call with Marco....surprise! Maria put me on hold and talked to dispatch who of course said there was no earlier time available. She told me she would escalate my complaint (after insistence from me) and the within 24 hours I would receive a call from "Jane". Well....that didn't happen!!! So today....July 18, I called again and spoke with Annette. Annette advised me that she couldn't get anyone there any sooner...so...I asked her to escalate and she told me the group that handles complaints already had it, and they would contact me next week! So....I ask...what day next week? Oh....I can't give you a day she says....just next week. I said..there are 7 days in next week...when do you suppose they might call....by Wednesday? Oh...I can't say...then you would expect a call by that day! Really?????? So I asked for her supervisor....who is not in the office, but might be there on Monday!!!! I am NOT giving up on this one!!! I will call every day.....every hour if I have to! And....then they have the nerve to say....if she goes elsewhere for service her maintenance contract will be null and void!!!! WOW.....great customer service!!!!! I have held my temper in every conversation....I have been polite and kind since the people I am speaking with are not at fault, but enough is enough!

Driving down the ECRow expressway with a friend this afternoon, July 18th, around 240pm, and noticed in the side mirror a Wolverine Freight System 53583 transport truck, practically running a white mini man off the road, trying to merge into the leftlane because of construction! The truck driver then started making obscene gestures to the drive and screaming and yelling out the window to the white van, even though it was the truck driver who almost killed these poor people in the van, because of aggressive driving, and clearly not knowing how to merge properly in a truck !!!! Eventually the truck driver moved into the right lane, once it was open and started to exit off the Howard off ramp. As he got closer to the white van, who was in the left lane, the truck driver was literally hanging out of his window, while driving his truck at the same time, screaming at the white van!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!!! This idiot was putting everyone's life in danger, driving recklessly, hanging out a transport truck window!!!! Calm your road rage down jerk off! Not only could you have killed yourself, you could have caused an accident killing others!! And for what?! Because you don't know how to merge your transport truck! You should lose your job! Shame on you!

Just south of the underpass on Walker Rd there were 2 geese killed in collision with traffic. A lot of damage was done to someone's vehicle. I visit this park often, and am currently attempting to convince the City to install garbage and recycle retainers there. Please be careful when driving through this area, especially while travelling southbound.

To the people dumping into little river. We live there in east Windsor and this is the crap that was dumped in the water late this morning(picture doesn't show it 100%).It looks greasy and thick like cooking oil. It's not the first time this type disgusting mess has floated by our dock....I shake my head at the littering, selfish people who willfully destroy our environment. It's so damn frustrating! I sent an email to the Ministry but the filth will be long gone before they get back to me. Making a plea to the public hoping this stops.
