My old was boss arrested!

by

I’ve mentioned many times on this site that I used to be a jeweler. Well, before I started out on my own in the jewelry trade I worked for a Russian Armenian man. He was very nice, very good looking, and perhaps luckily for me – very disorganized! I was managing his business within my first 6 months of working for him.

I worked for him for about 5 years before I had gained enough skills, and I suppose the courage, to start out on my own. One thing that I learned while I was working with him was that he was connected with some very bad people. I didn’t suspect that he was doing anything wrong or illegal, but rumors flew around and I soon found out that some of the people that visited daily,that I knew fairly well, were Russian Mafia.

My old boss always seemed to have a lot of money, and spent it extravagantly. His father was also in the trade and had a successful business so I and many others assumed that the money was coming from his father. Now I suspect otherwise and it breaks my heart.

I haven’t seen my old boss for some time but I know he has all kinds of legal troubles and had to hire a criminal defense attorney because he was arrested when he went through the border recently. Apparently the people he was with had arrest warrants out for them and when the car was stopped at the border a number of smuggled items were found in the car. Also found in the car was a large amount of jewelry and loose gem stones. The only passenger in the car that had any jewelry connections was my former boss.

He’s denied having anything to do with the jewels found in the car, but I guess because he happened to be with wanted men and because other smuggled items were found in the car it’s been assumed that he had smuggled the jewels into the country. I don’t know if there are charges that the jewelry is stolen or anything but I presume that there are.

It broke my heart when I heard this news. I’d always been very close to my old boss. It always felt like he was my brother the way we looked out for each other.

I’m still shocked by the news, and I’m hoping that it isn’t true. I certainly hope that his criminal defense lawyer is one of the best. This happened a few months ago, and I know that he’s not in jail so I’m assuming that his lawyer has been doing a good job of at least keeping him out of jail. If I get any more news as to whats happened to my old boss I’ll update this post.

Fly like a Monarch

by

UK readers – have you heard of a website named Flymonarch? If you weren’t aware of the site prior to reading this you really should visit it. They offer amazingly cheap flights. Actually if you are traveling in Europe you might be interested in booking a flight with FlyMonarch.com to go from one European destination to another. It sounds like it will save you money.

Monarch offers low-cost flights from London Luton, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Malaga, and Manchester airports to destinations such as Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, the Canaries and the Balearics. Not only do they offer cheap flights, but you can pre-book your seats and enjoy quality in-flight shopping, free newspapers, and even hot and cold meals. That sounds good. Most North American airlines don’t serve food on flights anymore, even if the flight is 5 hours or more.

Through the FlyMonarch.com site you can also book car rentals, travel insurance, hotels and you can even make golf bookings, along with scheduling your cheap flight. This certainly sounds like a company to visit when you are planning to travel.

Online insurance Quotes for the UK

by

I remember when we were looking for insurance for our house. To finalize our mortgage we had to have home insurance, and to get home insurance from the company that we finally settled on we had to have a home inspection to be sure the house had no major safety issues that might affect our insurance premiums.

Unfortunately this is all part of purchasing a home and being a home owner. You need insurance. It protects you, and it obviously makes banks that provide the loan for your mortgage feel better about securing the deal. The banks interests are protected by your home insurance too.

I wish that while I was hunting for home insurance that I’d stumbled across a site such as Insure121. This site has information on all kinds of insurance products from car insurance, home insurance and even Pet insurance.

This site has information for people living in the UK and it provides quotes from companies offering the insurance type of your choice. For example, if you are looking for home insurance, just click on the home insurance tab and you’ll be presented with a number of companies that offer home insurance and a description of what each company provides. I think this is a great site. I only wish that I could find a Canadian company that would let me compare insurance companies and get the best quotes.

Find work with CSI

by

I have to tell one of our friends about the CSI site. Our friend is a Civil Engineer and I believe he’s been unhappy with the company that he’s currently working for. CSI, or Civil Search International is a company who’s 14 dedicated recruiters work to match Civil Engineers with Civil Engineering Firms. This might be a great company for our friend to register with as he might be able to get a job that suits him.

According to the site the CSI team has quite a bit of accumulated experience behind them. Many of the 14 professional recruiters have 10, 20 and even 30 years of experience in executive management, civil engineering recruiting. All combined they have over 60 years worth of recruiting experience.

CSI believes that they have the most comprehensive list of civil engineering PE’s and EIT’s in the industry and this enables them to make over 25,000 calls through their data base of prospects as they work to match civil engineers with companies seeking to employ them. They customize each search to fit their clients needs.

They work with many of the top engineering firms in the US, both regional and international firms. The firms that CSI deals with have great projects, and provide excellent salaries and benefits.

Satisfied Clients Including Many of the Top Engineering Firms in the United States: Currently, we represent over 50 leading Civil Engineering firms, many are international leaders while others are top regional firms. These firms are working on the best projects, have outstanding management teams and offer excellent salaries/benefits as well as a chance for rapid promotion. After spending the time to get to know our client’s needs, we then prepare a detailed job order before beginning the outbound dialing process.

If you are a civil engineer why don’t you visit the CSI site and see if they have opportunities that suit your experience or future goals? You might just end up with a job that you’re happier with and perhaps better pay too.
