Fait Chaud dans la Bête !

Ouin ouin ouin j avais la parfaite intro pour cette entrée et fichtre de merde a ma sortie du bureau vendredi j ai dropper mon sac a dos avec mon thermos pour thé. Lequel était bien entendu en verre /$%$"/%?/$?/$ !!! Mon entrée grafouiller sur un ptit coin de napkine n ayant point survecu au verre et heureux melange de feuille de thé humide a souhait voila donc l explication de l actuelle intro. Un autre dégat signé qui d autre que moi. ETK so la bête dans ses innombrables et infini subtilitées commencais a avoir chaud. Ou plutot moi a sont bord commencais a avoir le gout de fondre avec mes allés et venu surtout en soirée dans le traffic. J ai donc fini par prèter l oreille a mes collegues de bureau et fait reparer mon aire climatiser. La, fidele disciples de mes péripéthies vous vous doutez sans doute que rien n ai jamais aussi simple dans mon cas. Et oui, en l occurence vous avez tout a fait raison. Je suis aller au garage du meme proprio que ma compagnie histoire de rester dans la ''familia'' juste pour faire verifier le pourquoi du marche pas, fait chaud... va etre malade, j ai soif .... ARRRGGGG on arrive on arrive !! So apres 45 min d inspection avec la ptite machine sur ma demi-heure de lunch nous avons, moi et le technicient, jumper 'haut de meme' au vue de la bruinne poussiereuse qui se mis a s echapper sous pression des profondeur du module d'air climatiser. La fuite localisée, le freon completement vide ils m ont offert de commander la piece manquante et de la changer. Yea ! Le lendemain ils m appelle avec la dite piece deja recus mais due a mon horaire j ai preferer attendre un peu. Quoi avec la fin de mois et tout c est salée a remplace ce ''truc a faire frette''. Anywho j apporte mon auto la semaine suivante a l aube avant de commence ma journée. En mis journnee je les appelle pour avoir des nouvelles. Mr ...... semble que le morceau fut installé avec succes, seulement... et bien il est defectueux égualement.... Tabarnalacla !! Donc ils re-installe l ancient et en commande un autre. Une semaine plus tard ils recoivent le dit morceau, je re-re prend rendez-vous, trouve le tour d arriver en retard au bureau apres avoir deposé la bête entre leurs mains en attendent un lift de leurs part.

La tenez vous bin.... depuis vendredi dernier.... il fait frette dans la bête !!! Houra ! Steur égualement changé une fuse pour les mirroires et mon allume cigar / interface pour cellulaire et Ipod. Je devrais être bon pour une semaine ou deux je crois... lol.

Sinon le week-end dernier fut marque par the bitter sweet reality d une bella grandée grassée matinée passée avec une charmante charmeuse demoiselle suivie immédiatement par sont exile pour un mois en terres étrangère :(  Torieux ! C est qu'elle risque de me manquer la laa !  Usé du peu de temps restant en mis après-midi pour l escorté a l aéroport local. Intéressant fait a propos de la route pour l aeroport a dorval. Sur la route il est indiqué aeroport Pierre Eliotte Trudeau sur quelques kilomoetres, puis nous bifurquons vers l aéroport Mirabel, suivis immediatement par Trudeau , Mirabel et enfin un chantier qui sérieusement peu causé quelques valide questions du genre... WTF !?! Ceci est la route principal ? Plutot un champs de batailles avec des viaduc incomplets et  nid de poules sans fond oui!

Bientot le week-end et nouvelles mesures de sécuritée.

Ouin bin il fait 29 degree dans le bureau et la ptite fan "roule au conton" comme va l expression. J n ose imaginer la temparature dans la manufacture. Demain je vais aller faire arranger mon aire climatiser sur la bete a un garage local et par la suite c est en route pour la metropole pour un autre week-end en delectable compagnie :)  Prob en profiter pour faire les marchés publics et me remplir la panse de chocolatines et croissants le matin venue. Comme quoi la metropole garde jalousement ses nombreuses boulangeries #$%#$@$%#$%#$%# !!! Je ne peu qu'espèrer que mère nature va coopérer avec une température plus comfortable que ces dernière semaines... Les "ice cap" de Tim font vraiment la job ces temps-ci.

Oh et un update pour ceux qui se demande pourquoi il ya maintenant un mot de passe sur mon blog...des recents developements on provoquer l apparition d'un cretin d envergure monumental avec un dont pour le harsèlement moral ainsi que menance en tout genre. Le dit residue d'ectoplasme, bachibouzouk analphabet comme dirait Hadoc emerde quelqu un qui est rapidement devenu chaud a mon coeur. Ainsi et par precaution pour tout les concernés j ai opté pour une sécurité additionelle pour mon forum jusqu ici un peu public...

Cheers

Bien bien

Bien bien, mon mini roman et ‘’quête pour la bête’’ enfin publié au vues de tous je vais enfin pouvoir passer à autre chose. Que se passe-t-il ses temps-ci par ici ? Mes colocs et moi avons réussi a terraformer la cour arrière en un endroit potable avec un ptit potager semi ombrager.  La faune local nous supporte d ailleur dans ce projet.  Par exemple la marmotte a sus déguster avec soins toutes les fleurs de zuchini et le bébé lièvre c est contenté  jusqu’ a présent de grignoter le persil du cote des fines herbe…. Installer un grillage mais les dommages  / encouragements dije  furent assez élever. Nous nous croisons les doigts pour une repousse de mis été. Reste le monstrueux rosier a l’avant mais ça est hors de mes cordes puisqu’ une permission est de mise pour les travaux de réfraction du dit arbuste !  LOL. La capitale possède un nombre incroyable de piste cyclable de qualité. Jusqu’ à présent je ne sais en profiter autant que j’aurai désiré, attabler à d’autres projets et encombrer de par les innombrables bancs de moustiques en soirée.  Plus proche un peu j’ai commencé à renouer avec la métropole avec l’aide d’une très charmante  demoiselle qui a sus me convaincre de revenir en terre québécoise plus souvent que je ne l’avais initialement prévus. Comme quoi la belle province se garde d’être ennuyeuse et dévoile ses attraits pour la saison.  Ci-joint, quelques photos  (post clean up automnal de l’an dernier) du ‘before and after’ de notre cour arrière.

chapter 10

June 15

It took 3 weeks for me to get back the money that was stolen from my account by TD Meloche.

June 25^th 

I have yet to receive that cancellation letter ….

chapter 9

 Friday

I called the bank again on Friday to press upon them my situation and after hearing my story, again, they placed me on hold and then transferred me to someone higher up in the dealings between the bank and the insurer. Again, told my story and again placed on hold. Then seeing she could t help me transferred me directly to TD insurance. Once there I explained, AGAIN what was going on and she then transferred me to yet another clerk since she did not do car insurance. Then very next clerk started off jolly enough but then after placing me on hold to call up my file and also check in with the manager I had spoken to yesterday came back sour and disgruntled. Seems the manager had time to actually do his job and that after reviewing the facts he might be able to expedite the return payment a little earlier. A full two weeks in the best of scenarios.  Course I still took the time to underlined their incompetence as to signing me up after blatantly refusing my application & more importantly stealing money from people who where not even approved customers. I then pushed a little further inquiring as how they would be preventing future fiascos of the sort inquiring, again, as to what EXACLY had happened. They said they did t know indirectly communicated it was t any of my business. Again I seeked reparation of some sort but to no avail aside from a crappy half concocted corporate apologies from the lowest of the lowest minion in their employ. I did not thank him for is stupendous effort but rather quite directly hung up after expressing once again my displeasure at their follow up service.

That night I got the screws for my double license plates with the sticker at the back & purchased gas at 1.29….. I managed to stop by the bank to try and sort off the mess I had inherited from TD Meloche Insurance. They tried everything they could short of entering fake amount into the transfer directory. It was nice actually having so many people behind the counter trying different things and giving advice as to possible venues. Ultimately even the supervisor could t do much but she still managed to block any further redraws from TD Meloche Insurance to no cost to my self. Here I would like to thank them for their efforts and dare I say, carrying for their customers thought this situation was not of their doing whatsoever. Thank you.

So la bête is fully operational and I might add legal this side of the river, got my 2011 adidas on special and am holding hope I will be seeing the thieves return the stolen goods to my account some time this month. All that now remains is to pay up the combined 3 months for my first car insurance payment in  2 weeks.  All in all I think this nightmare might slowly be passing.

chapter 8

That night I did not have time to go to the bank in person in order to fill paperwork that would prevent TD meloche from taking anymore money out of my account by “mistake”. I instead made it a point to drop by my local branch the next night, Friday after work. Instead I finally went to pick up la bête from the body shop and drove out to the only service centre opened after 5 pm once a week and as would happen it was the very night my car graduated with high honors from the integrity check. Wheels Alignment, nearly perfect and well within required specs.  Did you know that in Ontario you not only need your plates and drivers license but also a cute little sticker to place on the license plate to prove you have indeed have paid your dues and are now allowed to drive on the road with said car ? I did not, and where I thought I would be paying 30$ for my plate and drive into the sunset I paid 130$ in dues so that I might be allowed to drive on the road until my birthday in 2012 if we don t blow up earth or something by then. That s a one time 30$ for the plates as advertised on the Ontario Official Website and an additional 74$ per year not so much advertised as simply not the official website. At least at first glance when one is inquiring on getting his car plated in Ontario. The balance of the total 130 was my dues for the remainder of the year. Figured I would be getting at least a glow in the dark sticker for that price, nope.

chapter 7

That week s Thursday, looking up my financial info over a coffee during a 5 min break while looking forward to picking up my car from the body shop that same night I noticed 200$ missing from my bank account. I immediately called my bank to inquire on the missing funds to discover TD Meloche Insurance had taken money out of my account. They recommended I call the insurance people right away to clear this up. I asked if they could do anything on their end and they told me in the worst case scenario they could open an investigation. Considering the last few days I took special care to take note of this worst case scenario option.

SO let me get this straight, you people, TD Meloche refused to insure me, then magically did somehow for 4 days, then realized you had made a mistake and cancelled the said policy only to take 200 dollars out of my account something like 2 weeks later. Am I the only one who thinks a blind fish in a fishbowl would do a better job than the people so many trust with their car and house insurance at this point? Non mais je rêve !!! Oh and FYI, that’s 50$ a day for a car policy. Pretty steep to say the least would t you say?

I called the TD Meloche Insurance during my break….. After having to wait for 5 min at my desk this miserable excuse for a cooperate minion comes on the line and starts telling me I won’t be able to get my money back until the 26 of may. Just for the record that was pretty much 3 weeks from then. Of course I ever so kindly reminded him that I should t have to wait 3 freakin weeks to get my money back since as I had no account with them, never agreed to anything with them and that to some measure what they had done could be considered stealing, dare I say fraud ? At that point I requested to speak to his manager. His manager was less than forthcoming and if I did t know better I would of guessed it was his time of the month or something. Within 10 sec of talking on the phone with him he began giving me the cooperate speech and confirmed his minion info saying they could t do anything about my stolen money. The reimbursement could only be approved by not next Monday but by the following one on the 16. Then a 10 day bank waiting time / transfer delay. At that point I have to admit I sort of lost it and began accusing them openly of stealing and topped it off with a generous ration of accusatory incompetence. They screwed up and 3 weeks was the best they could do? Not good enough. I told him as much in pretty much those terms. Course the manager who was already from the start a first class douch did not take kindly to my increasingly loud and shall we say insulting tone and so we shortly ended this most enlightening conversation with my solemn word I would be looking further into this matter via consumer protection and written means if I did not get reparation in a most expedient timeline.

chapter 6

The following Tuesday, I received an insurance policy not from my broker but from TD Meloche by mail. Included were my paperwork bundle, emergency contact card and user card in two envelopes to my name. HEEEeeeeee, as I recall I was plainly rejected on the grounds that my car was a rebuilt. So what gives? Called them moments later to ask them exactly that. I was placed on hold for 35 MINUTES before someone answered me. Somehow I ended it up in Quebec after exposing my situation to the receptionist. Now since this was a policy that was rejected and then a file that was seemingly erased in Ontario the Quebec side could not and would not deal with this. Hence they re-transferred me to Ontario which took by reckoning another 5 min. Once there I re- re-re explained my situation and also asked if it was company policy to make people wait for 35 min in the wrong province only to be re-directed and all of this for a supposedly none existing policy. The clerk apologized and apologized and after about 5 minutes of her asking me bloody questions on my account she admitted that I had been insured with them for 4 days the week I had initially applied. A slip up of some sort according to them. A big one I heart fully reminded her as I was rejected on two occasions.  She assured me they had sent a cancellation letter but just to be on the safe side, what with my trust of them at an all time high I decided to request they re-send me that policy cancellation letter.
