 Sorry for that

 See ya



 

Emotional weekend

Hi

I didn't manage to call Sky Television so I have to do that next week. :-)

What happened the last days? 

The Stress begins :-)

Hi

It´s amazing that normally when you hear 90 Days you think that this is a long time. 

If you ask me now, I hope I get everything done in this time :-)

Why?

After work I wrote several Contract terminations for Insurance Company's, Sky Television and the German Telekom today. 

After finishing I thought, let´s start with Telekom and give them a call, maybe they can give you some Information how to speed up things a little.

I have to say I thought this would be much easier! I started explaining my situation to the lady on the Phone when all Hell broke loose :-)
After she finished screaming at me what I was thinking to ask such stupid questions she started explaining that I signed a contract which is still running for the next 18 Months and I have to pay. It doesn´t matter if I make up things just to get out of the contract. Ok :-) I told her I have proof. I have my new working contract with a specific date on it and 2 weeks before I leave, I will tell the Authorities and they will give me a letter that I canceled my apartment and I am moving out of the Country.
Her answer was simple, she didn´t care :-) ok.

I asked another question, but that was not a good idea!

If she would provide me with a letter saying that the German Telekom will then give me full Cellphone coverage down in Dubai and then I will be willing to pay the rest of the 18 Months, otherwise I would be paying for something, Telekom cannot give me according the contract and that would be fraud.

Ohhhhhh..... She went off like a Wild Dog again :-) then she hung up!

Hello? Hello? somebody there?

No

Wow Customer Service :-)

But it would not be me if I wouldn't call again, knowing I will get another person on the phone.

Said and done!

This time a guy answered the phone. I explained the whole story again, this time he said it would not be easy but it is possible. The best way would be if I pay off the iPhone 5, because I got it cheaper with the contract. If that helps I will do that :-)

I asked the guy if I pay the money right away, I think he said 400 Euros, thats the difference to the new iPhone 5, when will it be unblocked? Because In Germany every Phone provider blocks the phones for 2 years so they only work with that company.

It took him a few seconds to think but then he said: "unblocked? It will be unblocked in 18 Months when the contract ends".

Ok? What is the purpose of paying of a phone to get out of a contract, to take the phone to Dubai, if I need to wait 18 Months to unblock it. I will just buy a new phone down there. So thats exactly what I told him.

I don´t know if those people get a lesson in screaming and bad behavior but he went mental as well :-)

Well I didn´t get my answer, I learned that this could be a long and hard road with the German Telekom, but at least I had my fun today :-)

Maybe tomorrow will be a fun and exciting day again. After work I need to call Sky Television and see if I can get out of my Cable Television Contract. Lets see if they go mental as well :-) Probably, Ha Ha :-)

Until then hope you have a good night

The Beginning....

This is going to be my first post in this Blog "Emigration and Living in Dubai"

Picture is from Emirates.com

I decided to take the 1st of July 2013 as an opportunity to write my first post, because I am leaving Germany in 90 days. My wife has another 90 days left, she will move to Dubai when most of the things are sorted out in Dubai.

I will try to write some interesting things that happen in those 90 days, but also the first months in Dubai and hopefully many more posts.

To shortly explain what happened in the past. I applied with my new employer in february, they invited me in march for an assessment center, at the end of april I got the Ok that I was successful and 9 days ago I signed my contract. From now on, an interesting time is going to start :-). 

So what happened already?

I resigned from my job and from my apartment. We were one of those couples that had 2 apartments because we were not able to find a job in the same city and we only saw each other every 5 days, so that is going to change :-).

What is planed?

A lot :-)

Now we have to start selling things like the car, furniture..........What are we taking with us to Dubai?

We just started telling our friends so we haven't realized what is happening or what is going to happen in the next 90 days. I think this will come later on and then I probably have to cry :-)

Well thats it for the beginning

I am happy to receive comments :-)
