My mistake!

Posted on by

I took to blogging because I though it would be fun. I must admit it has been an interesting experience. I enjoy writing but I also enjoy reading what other people say. If I like a post I don’t forget to write comments. One blog that I used to enjoy reading is Plan Your Investment. It basically has loads of information on financial stuff that my small skull cannot easily comprehend (normally it never goes in) but I still make it a point to read through every post religiously. Just in case I could save some money on taxes!

Some time back the blogger Krishna (of Plan Your Investment) had written about Employee Provident Fund. It basically dealt with EPF (Employee Provident Fund) Office sending EPF account balance information via sms. EPF office happens to be one government office that I have visited the most in the recent past. It’s been 4 trips and the results have been depressing. Even the guys at the reception tend to recognize me now! I don’t know whether it’s a problem with the government office or it’s just my dumb luck. I will write about it some other day.

Anyway coming back to the topic at hand, I had some questions so I posted my queries and got reply too. But the problem was I had ticked a box indicating that I should receive a mail if somebody post a comment on the post. I was interested in the author’s comment and normally most of his posts doesn’t get lots of comments, but this post was different. Well TBH it was one of the funniest mistake I have ever done!

Every since that day I get mails with silly queries and requests in it. It looks like people don’t really read they drop by write to their heart’s content and hope for a miracle. Unfortunately Plan Your Investment website isn’t EPF Office website nor does it have any connection to EPF Office, So in this case there won’t be any miracles!

Thanks to these folks, I have had to reconsider my policies a bit. I had two options

Option #1

No Comments

I either do the above “No Comments” for all the posts.

Option #2

Don’t click option 1.

I should make sure that I never ever click “Notify me of following comments via e-mail” option. I have decided to go with Option #2.

These days I am hoping for a miracle, I wake up in the morning and pray that there aren’t any mails regarding EPF! I have got close to 240 mails on this in my inbox. Proof attached below.

My Bane

This post has become my Bane!

Sheenism

Nothing special here, collected few of the recent quotes of the rock star from Mars, Mr. Charlie Sheen.

I just didn’t believe I was like everybody else. I thought I was unique.

I’m an F-18 bro.

Faith is for winners. Hope is for losers.

I closed my eyes and in a nanosecond I cured myself.

I’m bi-winning. I win here, and I win there.

We’re Vatican assassins. How complicated can it be?

I may forget about them tomorrow, but they’ll live with that memory for the rest of their lives. And that’s a gift.

I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total, bitchin’ rock star from Mars.

I’ve been blessed with a new brain.

Let’s talk about something exciting. Me.

You borrow my brain for five seconds and just be like ’Dude, can’t handle it. Unplug this bastard.

One of my favorite poets is Eminem.

I am on a drug. It’s called ‘Charlie Sheen!’ It’s not available because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body

There are so many more quotes around, I just got tired of pulling in more quotes. Hope he shuts up for good.

You must be in Top Management!

I got this from Sreeprakash, it’s worth reading.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced
altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and
shouted,

Women in a hot air balloon


“Excuse me Sir, can you help me? I promised a friend, I would meet him
an hour ago but I don’t know where I am.”

The man below replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.”

”You must be an engineer,” said the lady balloonist.

“I am”, replied the man. ‘How did you know?’

”Well”, answered the lady in the balloon, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip even more.”

The engineer below responded, “You must be in Top Management.”

”I am”, replied the lady balloonist,

“But, how did you know?”

“Well,” said the Engineer,

“You don’t know where you are, or where you’re going. You made a promise, which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s my fault.”
