Toxic Work Places

To Whom It May Concern.

Wow what an experience. I was employed at Gal Power Systems in Mississiauga to work on diesel generator systems. I was working on a pair of 16 v 92 Detroit diesel generator sets at 4160 volt at a facility called the South West Regional Center in Chatham Ontario. I was requested by the project manager Moe Gallick of the Ontario Realty Corporation to supply and install some fuel system components at an Ontario Provincial Police transmitter tower close by. When I went there to do the work I saw that this was an old abandoned site no longer in use. I was let into the building and began work. As I was working I noticed the building had a an unusual amount of rat poison or toxic chemicals distributed inside the building. No breathing equipment or protective clothing were supplied by either my employer Gal Power Systems , The Ontario Realty Corporation or the Ontario Provincial Police. Mr Gallick did not spend very much time in the building. I completed the work. Shortly after this I had to seek medical attention within the Ministry of Health and was off work for close to a year. This was a deliberate act. I almost died. This act of incompetence was the end of a series of poisonings that started a couple of years earlier when I was working at Harper Detroit Diesel on a project at Mississauga Hydro , probably continued when I was hired by Thomson Technology in British Columbia and almost ended in my death at Gal Power Systems. Talk about bad politics or a toxic work place. That's kind of the ultimate. Some people say there is no corruption here in Canada. The harrasment to date in my work place is unbelievable and intolerable with off colour and snide comments about my mental health. There is much more to the story.

LOL, You nailed her!

She is a union advocate and a whiner who then claimed she was poisoned by her co-workers.

Lol! What a joke!

ok.

assuming for a moment that the basic description of the events hews to facts... why would anyone be interested in poisoning you? And why wouldn't they be more thorough?

Gerry is working her case.

Looking for some public support in the form of some anecdotal evidence to add to her BS case for a negligence suit.

She would be better off, slamming her brakes on in front of a Coca Cola delivery truck.

Most likely the rat poison was Warfarin. It's a blood thinner used medically to keep blood clots from growing larger but can be toxic in large doses......to you happen to eat a pound of it? Several boxes? http://www.woodstreamcorp.com/msds/m820.pdf

I think I found Geri's song.
Considering the rat fecal dust and the Union Goon cheerleading.
Think it fits?

Fisher - Dirty Girl


I had your name
in my head with "Mrs." on it
You had no clue what
mine was but did not care
I came looking
for the mate of my soul, you were
out looking for someone just for the night

So here I go again, Dirty Girl, lay me down
Pleased to meet you
There you go, now you know a dirty girl
Pleased to leave me
Oh, don't say good-bye

I fell asleep
to the sound of your heart beating
But I woke up when
you asked me to please leave
You said "Nothing personal - it's impossible"
You can't fall asleep
with a girl you don't know...well, Ah h*!

Here I go again, Dirty Girl, lay me down
Pleased to meet you
There you go, now you know a Dirty Girl
Pleased to leave
You always say good-bye
Why do they always say good-bye?

Walking home - 4 a.m. - once again...

Here I go again, Dirty Girl, lay me down
Pleased to meet you
There you go, now you know a Dirty Girl
Pleased to leave
You always say good-bye
Why do they always say good-bye?

I'm walking, in the rain
With my shoes in my hand
I look stupid in a cocktail dress at ten AM
And I can`t get a cab
Have you seen my shoe?
I'll call you

You sure this song isn't about Eaker?
BTW, Eak, DID you ever find your shoe?

I know, I know, what happens a deer camp stays at deer camp.

Wasn't that after someone's great idea of using my coffee to stun the deer?

Your coffee?

I'd bet if Squantos had administered the application, the deer would have landed in the back of the pickup.
