Un panam panam...en panam panam

Me back from Spain!! And just so you know, Spain sema super, it is a sunny and exciting country to be in - reminded me of my Aussie days :D Spain now comes into my list of favo countries, that had just one element - Australia.

Ok, back to my kodumai this week...I can't say it was a week's kodumai actually. Naan ippo ethanavadhu company-la iruken-nu enake theriyadhu, andha range-ku vanara jandhu madhiri thavitruken :D Aana long long ago bangalore-la oru company-la serndhu first time thanni, sorry, concentrated fruit juice adichene (and also a wicked April fool joke by kuttisathan), andha company vittu 2.5 years achu..and I had been praising about that company's release procedure to everyone I meet.

The current company I work for does some background check on the earlier companies (paavam, evalo company-nu check panvanga pavam), and following the check on the "thanni" company, I got a mail from the finance team saying my PF is still with them. Ennadhu, en PF panam enkitta illaya?? Padupavi pasangala, indha background check nadakkalana en panam ambo-va??

Seri ok, ippovavadhu sonnangale-nu I started my muyarchi of getting this money in December.

December - Mudhalla form anuppu-nanga, but evanuku inga PF number-lam theriyudhu? That too 2.5 yrs ago? Idhellam mail-laye anupa koodadha, I had to ask for it before I could send the form. Indha form post pantu I was asking my mom everyday if any cheque had come..and avanga pavam, postman-a daily kettu verupethitrundhanga.

January - Wait panniye Jan end varaikum vandhutten. Idhu ennada vamba pochu-nu I mailed them before I left for India for my vacation. Oru chinna nambikkai, naama London varardhukulla kidaichidumnu, but naama enikavadhu easy-a edhavadhu vangi irukoma?

Feb - India, and didn't have the brains to contact them :D

March - I got back to London, and I still didn't see any trace of the money. Seri-nu call pannen, and the finance admin said my form was still being checked. Naan enna patent vangardhuku invention details-a submit panniruken, indha range-ku check panranga? And the next day he wasn't even picking up the calls! Mail anupinalum badil anuppa mattenranga, call pannalum edukka mattenranga, enna ulagamada idhu-nu when I was thinking, oru pazhaya colleague advise pannan, "paaruma, ippo financial year end, so niraya velai irukum avanuku, nee april beginning-la contact pannu"-nu. Seri ok, ivalo naal wait pantom, we'll wait more appadinu vittuten.

April - I called up this guy again. Naanum oru 10 times call panni irupen, and everytime either the consultants haven't checked or they were on holidays! Adhu eppadidhan en panamna 1008 check panranga, illa leave podaranga-nu therila enaku :)) And then came the bomb - I called up 2 weeks ago and he says, "Usha, I haven't got your form at all"!! Dei, konja naal munnadidhane form check panranga-nu sonna, ippo form-e illa-nra??? Thalaiezhuthe-nu I sent a soft copy of the document. Doc anupparacheve sollalamla, PAN number venumu? Anuppina appuram he sends another mail asking my PAN details. Serinu adhaiyum anuppinen...and no answer at all for the next 2 days!

MAy - Naan Spain poittu thirumbiyum vandhu kooda no mails...and I called up today, and he picks up the call and says "yeah tell me Usha" - grr...naan enna oor kadhai pesardhukka call pannen? - and before I could answer, he uttered the magical words - "your cheque is ready"...Woohoooo!!! Adhu seri, cheque ready achu-na won't a person even call or mail that it is ready? Seri ok, I've got the money anyways, and I also got my reimbursement today for an exam I took...ellarum enaku panam tharanga!!! :D (and I got a £1 as part of a deal I had with a colleague, eppolam avan swear word use panrano, appolam kuttisathan-ku £1 hee hee)
