Good News

Jim sent out an email today to some people in Brunei Shell's HR Department and was contacted by someone to mediate the situation. They told us that we had to remove the word "Furniture" from the contract. Hmmm. The guy yesterday was not capable of doing that? They put their stamp of approval on it and the contract was sent to the owner for his approval. Jim spoke with him this evening, and we will meet him for coffee in the morning and sign the contract. Thank you Lord! All is good. This afternoon, I had a call from Olivier, another Brunei Shell(BS) guy that arrived on the same day we did. He had heard that we had found a house and wanted some details on the process and the real estate agent that we used. He told me about his experience in being evicted from his hotel because Brunei Shell did not extend his reservation. The hotel had already promised his room to another person. Then, BS moved them into an apartment, which was full of mold and are just not a pretty sight. I explained to him that Irene, Real Estate agent was very good, but her English was not very good. I told Olivier to tell Irene that she should find him a place similar to mine with the same conditions. Tell her not to show you anything that does not fit into your budget, as it is a waste of time. I get the feeling that I will be passing this info onto a lot of people in the very near future.....
