Begginer drivers and company cars

How can I start this post without criticising and almost yelling? Now that I have said that I kind of spoiled the entire post...but there I go writing anyway.

When you get hired by almost any company you receive a salary, a mobile phone, a laptop and a company car. This is ok when you are in the sales/operational department or any other office in which you have to travel often, during one working day. 

But WHY??!! do you need a company car when you are just using it to come and leave the office for home? Just to let others see that you have a car and do not need to use public transport anymore? From going to the office by subway to driving a big sedan every day, this is a big win for some of you. This is so wrong and that`s why all companies rely on this tool just to make you a prisoner. Prisoner of a way better-looking car that you already own. Suddenly you feel the urge to drive a lot more, after office hours. Just add one more car into this day-to-day traffic chaos in town and into the parking lot by the block of flats you live in. Of course, you complain every day about the traffic and the fact that you do not have a parking space in front of the office building. But it doesn`t matter because you drive your brand new shiny car all by yourself, alone in the cabin....not really paying attention to other traffic participants because it`s not your car :) 


I got used to seeing a lot of these types of cars, but still, I have one more evil thought....why do I see only women driving these cars?  STOP

Nevertheless, there are many many examples of fresh employees that take the driving license exam just because they have a company car just for commuting back and forth from home to the office.  And you live only 20 minutes from the office! Come on!!!

Stop doing something you don`t like and need to but only for your only metaverse in your head.  

We do not need any more useless cars on the road! 

Arrogance is bliss! you barely see over the steering wheel, with your seat set on the highest point.....why do you need such a big car?! Doesn't anyone want Ford Fiesta, a Peugeot 208, or a small city car anymore? All you dream of is a 2-star NCAP oversized so-called only front-wheel drive SUV. 

There are city buses with A/C and the subway which is the fastest thing in the city but noooo, you need to carry your purse or your homemade lunch with an SUV and pollute like hell while searching for a parking spot, 4 blocks away from the office, 10 blocks away from your home address :)

I do not want to take on the food bikers who are all over the city, in the second lane, near the bus, over the bus, under the bus, on the sidewalk, in the park, and God knows where they fit in. I wrote something about them a while ago here :)

Kill the repeat button!!

You know that moment when you hear one song from your favourite artist that keeps you hooked pressing the repeat button?! Yeah, you know the feeling. That beat that keeps you smiling, that gives you a good vibe and you find yourself trapped into one 3 day loop playing that only one song :) He is a hip hop artist that it is trending big time right now in Romania. His artist name is Macanache, a boy from Bucharest who was really deep underground until a couple of years ago. He made the big step into the light, as I said, a couple of years ago with a funky fresh rap style. The '80s are back with this guy, you know, the real hip hop that got me hooked with this music industry.  In a good way, any way, I used to wear large clothes, bling, and a lot of hats and listened to Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash , Public Enemy , Run DMC , Rakim , Eric B, LL Cool J , Big Daddy Kane , N.W.A., Slick Rick and many many others. If you ever heard one of those real artists, it is impossible not to

Yuhuuuu!! I saw it! I saw it! It is incredible! This movie has it all!! Almost everything. You have to see it!! Pay the man and get a ticket for the next show !! I am using a lot of !! but still, it is amazing, with a very good intro, a veeery exciting plot and one hell of an ending!! - ups, another exclamation point :)) From the whole sadness in the world captured at the beginning of the film to some of the best action scenes you saw in the Marvel World, to the Marvel All Star Team . To some subliminal ideas from the feminist side - you will recognize the scene -  and until the end when everything changes in one way you would never imagine. Thanos , ohhhh boy!! This is one lucky evil enemy...until the end...where he is still fighting with all his army and barely holds on and puts on the glove again...Yes, he is getting it back but the main lady character from Marvel - and the newest one comes into play and just makes it to save the day. The title of this post looks like clickbait,

Revolut, this one app that can handle your money without taxes? Really?!

I do not want to present Revolut  because it seems that everyone knows about it. In Romania there are over 100.000 users . I heard about it from my friends that are already huge fans. I am happy with my bank that I am working and I think that everything Revolut does, my bank does it better 😊 What is Revolut ? Just google it and you will find a tone of articles. I am just sick and tired of this topic. I just want to get it out of my system 😊 So you download and install the Revolut App and you are done. So they say… But really, there are costs, more or less hidden, once you go on with your account opening you find out more and more. The first and the most “important” thing that  Revolut  does is…guess what… the national bank exchange rate!?  What?  I am laughing my ass of right now, again, because I know people that use  Revolut  and did not once used this option…because they do not travel abroad!!!! And once you go abroad you have to be careful to use the local currency, not
