Everyone calls my family the Griswold’s.  We are slightly obsessed the Christmas decorating.  It started when we are little kids.  At first, we only had a few plastic decorations outside.  Every year, we would be out the door by five the day after Christmas.  We would find a few new items at half price for the outdoor display.  Pretty soon, we started decorating the inside, too.  You can only imagine how many things we have after twenty five years of collecting.  It takes us a month to set everything up.  People have come for years to see the lights.  It brings them so much happiness.  We really feel like we are bringing joy to others.

No Cars Allowed

September 3rd, 2010 admin Comments off

My city is a big tourist town.  The main reason people come is the island seven miles away.  They hop on a ferry, and they are literally taken back in time.  It is the only place in the country that does not allow cars.  People can only get around by horse and buggy, bike or walking.  They wanted to allow cars back in the early 1900’s.  However, the horse and buggy drivers threatened to leave because they scared the horses.  The buggy drivers won, and cars were forever banned from the island.  Now, visitors can still enjoy all of the island’s beauty without the noisy distractions of a modern city.

Ombudsman

August 30th, 2010 admin Comments off

So what can i do? I decided to go to ombudsman,  when i called to advise Vodafone that i will do this, lady on phone very politely offered me 4 months of free access and 2 years of free bills including last one year which i don’t want as i got one? Anyway i went ahead with ombudsman idea and got a huge disappointment that companies are only obliged to keep record for 2 years so nothing can be done? To make matter more sweeter, Vodafone has accepted its mistake of charging me more and have put 7 months free on my bill but my question to them was why it happened at first place and how many customers like me would be there getting sweet rip offs without their knowledge?

My Mobile Company – A sweet Rip off

August 26th, 2010 admin Comments off

I am with Vodafone since last 8 years and i love to say they must have made more than $35000 in access from me without giving me hint that they are ripping me off. It all started in September 2009 when I started looking into my bills due to one error of $735 for one call and bill amount goes to $1088. Since then I have found at least 11 mistakes in my bills totalling for more than $9000 now what to say? I have asked them to send me bills for my last 8 years and guess what they want me to charge $11.50 for each bill but just because i am loyal customers with them they will give me last one year bills for free which i already got.

Weeks started on Monday with a hot coffee from my girlfriend (Ramya) at morning 7.30. After that we had quick breakfast on go with juice in one hand and 2 slices of toast while searching for keys and my tie. Anyway reached office about 9.10 and rosy was waiting for me there with pile of files to be completed by this Wednesday. What a start for the week, but what can you do? Started completing file for Creditors review first as there was meeting on Tuesday in which i was supposed to speak about review system which can be implemented from August onwards for creditors. So completed that by 7 in evening and then went to pick up Ramya from her work and back to happy home for nice take away dinner.  Had whole days discussion between us as what happened in my office and she told what happened to her hospital and we went to sleep about 11 in night. Tuesday’s meeting on review system went very well with people appreciating my work and honesty for putting things together.

I would gain back what I lost due to stress

August 17th, 2010 admin Comments off

Stress is a physical response to perceived or real threats. It is vital to understand the leading causes of stress in order to know how to cope with them. Stress is a contributing factor in certain serious conditions such as heart disease and impairs the immune system. Managing stress is an aid to good health. Stress is a part of everyday life, but chronic stress can produce physical health symptoms such as headache and elevated blood pressure. Stress is caused by many sources, including financial strain, family pressure and unhealthy relationships like divorce. Due to stress I lost money and friends both I need them back. And I can get them only by avoiding it or finding a cure for it so I would change this.
