what a difference experience makes
:: i am so grateful for having such a wonderful father

the greatest advantage of working with an experienced businessman is learning everyday and enjoying what you do, day in day out.
one of the greatest advantages of having an experienced businessman as a father is being able to enjoy working with him.
the sweetest gift i have received is having an intelligent, responsible and caring mother that has made me empathetic to others: i have been taught to be able to understand how others feel and put my self in other people's shoes. this is my greatest quality by far.

i am ever so greatful to have close-knit caring family that gets along with our friends and the people involved with our different businesses.

why this sudden burst of emotion? because life is supposed to be fun! waking up, eating, meeting people, working, eating, watching, living and even sleeping is supposed to be good.

work is supposed to be fun: business is meant to keep us busy!

so when faced with daily dilemmae involving less caring, understanding and probably jealous or frustrated people around you, smile, remind yourself that it is all in the name of pleasure and relax. our existence on this planet is less significant than the ants crawling under the foundation of this building, let's make our stay as pleasant and meaningful as possible. on this i bid you "au revoir"!

i said it - i did it
:: preparing a grass-roots assault on gaz met

Well, if time heals all wounds, this must be one big wound. i am not a vindictive person, but you must understand that these pencil pushers at gaz met were really getting on my nerves. so, having the luxury to be able to fight them, i have to decided to go for it. not that i have time on my hand, but i have the will to get even with these folks.

i was just doing some research and found out that gaz met's president told the quebec national assembly that they did not need an agency to oversee their operations. that unlike hydro quebec, their clients have a choice in their energy source; hence a watchdog or ombudsman for gaz met is not required. i see, says who?

more to come... by the way, when on google, type in gaz metro... you will find that i mean business.

:: let's take care of these bullies!

well as most of you folks know, i am not one to take jabs lying down! so i have got a pretty big beef with gaz metropolitain: oh boy! if you care to know more, ask me to e-mail you about it by emailing me at mailto:gazmet@taravati.com?subject=mon histoire d'horreur!

don quixote, your truly, is actively looking for former employees, current dissatisfied employees, disgruntled clients, unhappy homeowners, building managers or business operators, suppliers or potential competitors to gazmet to give them a little lesson in *customer* service. i am planning to build a *rant* site to be temporarily hosted at www.taravati.com/gazmet/gazmet.htm and a little hand from friends are most welcome!

if any of you or your friends has had a horror story with these pencil pushers or better yet, *comptables rattées* dragging their lazy *derrières* at gazmet's customer service (or lack of) or their credit department, new account management, or AR department, please message me at gazmet@taravati.com

thanks and talk to you soon, while i vent my frustrations at these losers! ciao!
