@kennethpayne01 To be fair, one could argue that I do fly an unmanned aircraft.

@SaskHealth any chance you can make the testing clinics better accessible for those with disabilities such as hearing impaired. Make it a text on arrival instead of phone call.

Culture change cannot be ordered from the top down & it cannot be taught in a power point presentation. It requires buy in from everyone, esp unit leadership. We also need the majority to start carrying their share of this weight. We cannot do this alone.

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up.

One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.

@jsargentr I have been told I shouldn’t be here because of my gender and also the only reason I was there was because they needed a token female. It is hard to fight self doubt when people constantly plant those seeds of self doubt. It takes a lot of work to weed the garden of self doubt.
