Ombudsman (1) Thursday, Dec 29, 2005 9:13 am

I would say this could be a word of the day, but this is too important.  This is the word of the century.  Ombudsman - "A man who investigates complaints and mediates fair settlements, especially between aggrieved parties such as consumers or students and an institution or organization."  I found it while looking around a Canadian website.  At the bottom of the page, it had the typical "Contact Us", "Terms of Use", and "Privacy" links, but it also had a link to "Ombudsman".  Apparently this is an everyday word in Canada.  What a strange country.

Ombudsman is an everyday at Mars, Inc., too! Apparently, this chic Victoria Mars goes around to manufacturing sites at various points in the year. Then she sits in a conference room and waits for people to come and talk to her about their problems. It is probably the weirdest thing I have ever heard of - what happened to anonymous phone calls to some hotline?
