Corporate America sucks. Big time. You get hardly any holidays and are worked to the brim. Corporate American culture is like a parasite — it sucks all the blood out of you till it bleeds you dry. First of all, the country has no culture to boast of so no holidays to accompany that. Hardly [...]

Stuck in the middle
Posted in personal, tagged family, Rants on July 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What do you do when your two family members are not talking to each other? One person asks you about the other because whether one likes it or now she worries about the other. And you try to keep in touch with the other indirectly, and soon that manner of staying in touch is going [...]
Confusion galore…

Yesterday I went to a designer friend’s home to seek ideas for my renovation. Her place is gorgeous! She put so much thought into every small detail… and it shows. I realized that there is so much more out there that I have not considered. She used a Japanese theme throughout her apartment, with wood [...]

In these trying times, it is more important for companies to hold on to their loyal customers, and what better way to do that than good customer service. Why don’t companies get this simple fact straight? Why will I part with my hard-earned money to someone who is unfriendly? Yesterday I went to the MAC [...]
More annoying vendor rants

Why do vendors have to send large files (3-5MB)? I don’t understand the logic. Does anybody have the time to read them? I respond to ALL of them letting them know not to send such large files without prior communication. Its soooooo annoying. That and the automatic opt-in for emails. UGH. Today one vendor called [...]

I am sitting at home, unwell, with a stuffy nose and throat. My throat hurts so bad. I decided to stay at home after much deliberation. I have so much work to do, but every day I go with a burning throat and stuffy nose, and the AC makes it worse. By evening I have [...]

After waiting for so long I finally reapplied for my Amex card and got one. I decided to check out my credit score and noticed a couple of things that were inconsistent, and disputed them. I got them removed and my score went up by ONLY 10 points. Sigh! My husband’s score is much better… [...]
Stupid alarm clock

98% of times I read reviews before buying anything – household & personal products, movie tickets, travel, services, and pretty much anything. I read reviews on Amazon before buying the Sonic Boom alarm clock. Reviews stated that the clock was loud enough to wake anyone. Since I have a problem waking up really early I [...]
The curse of reality shows
Posted in Rants, TV Shows, tagged Rants, reality shows, tv on April 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
When I first moved to the US, I got into reality shows because I was intrigued by the drama. My initial impression was that Americans are primarily like the ones on the Jerry Springer show, Maury’s show, and various other talk and law shows during the day. Since I was at home and did not [...]
