A Fresh Start

I'm posting something I should have posted two years ago, when I wrangled my blog back from the clutches of a seedy, fly-by-night company for whom I had the misfortune of working for a fortnight in 2008. I'm only keeping this post up for a month, then I'm deleting this blog forever. - Denise

So I've finally taken back my blog from that Catch Friday mess. I don't think Dolma Interactive was right to take my login details and create three posts in my name without my permission. I wish they could be punished for all the falsified stuff they post on blogs and on press release websites, but I'll have to settle for just getting my blog back from that lying, slandering, shady, fly-by-night company.

Who did they even hire to post on this blog anyway? Some monkey? The grammar sucked and he/she couldn't even spell my name right (it's Dikkie, not Dickie)!

It pisses me off, but if anyone actually believes all those "testimonials" that the Catch Friday posts as press releases and blogs, then they deserve Catch Friday. Who would believe a "testimonial" that doesn't even have a name attached to it, or a "testimonial" that uses the third person perspective to refer to Catch Friday but reads like a list of all the services the company has to offer and lists all the ways to contact Catch Friday. I've had to write one of those before and they wanted me to say Catch Friday was so much better than competitors (especially the one in India that they're always targetting in their "Press Releases"). I couldn't sleep knowing it was all made up by the company. It hurt more knowing they had wanted it to be posted in my name. That's why I quit iDolma (aka Catch Friday) after only two weeks of working there.

I reported this blog for the posts that Catch Friday posted without my consent. Now that I have my blog back and I've deleted the old posts, I can finally move on knowing my name will not be tied to some lousy grammar, lousy spelling, lying, not-very-legal business in a dank, dark, old building in Makati in the Philippines.

If anyone doubts what I say, I'm sure Blogger will be able to recover the old posts on this blog and people can see just how different my writing style (and grammar) is from the three posts that were created with neither my knowledge nor my consent.
