Double serving of pictures on its way!
Ok, ok, this time I have an excuse for beeing away for so long (Glee loving post excluded).
I've had few changes in my life in the last two months, some of which have decidedly cut off my free time.
In the middle of August my Team Leader at work took me aside and asked (read 'politely forced') me to transfer to another service in the call center I work for. Now I'm working for **** Technical Support, where **** stands for one of the biggest computer producers of the world. My job is to fix hardware (and sometimes software) related problems on the phone with the customer. You need a lot of hardware knowledge and a lot of ability when talking to people that usually barely know the size of their own hard drive.
And I don't have any of those skills, yay! So after a three weeks course we were put on line and it's been sort of a struggle since then, to learn the job, because it's full of weird procedures and you have to write everything down while you try to find what the customer actually did to his PC. And did I mention there are so many calls one can rarely breathe before the next one arrives?
But well, where I work it's considered one of the most coveted jobs, because as long as you work for **** Technical Support the job is a lasting one.
Let's hope so!
The thing that irked me most about the change of job is that it came exactly in the same period I finally managed to move out of my house.
Yes, I made it! I actually moved out!
And I had to do it during weekends, since thanks to this new job all the days off I took from work were canceled because they interfered with the course.
I spent a very busy three weeks, but I finally have my own room and the job seems to be getting easier now, and the house is clean and ready for a photoshot!
Hence the title, so beware, image-heavy under the cut!
First of all a little 'introduction'.... I moved in a city that's about 70 km far from my parents' house, Cagliari. I share the house with three other flatmates: one is my sister (22), one is the owner of the flat (27), and the last one is the craziest moron I've ever met a kindergarten teacher (39). Each one of us has her room, but we share the kitchen and the bathrooms.
The house is in a nice part of the city, we have everything we need without having to go very far: supermarkets, pharmacy, bakery, butcher, bank, postal office, chinese restaurant... All within a 300m range. The nicest thing is that on the first floor in our building there's a pastry shop. Every morning if my window is open it's like waking up in heaven.
Anyway, let's have a look at the house! Here's an outside view offered by Google Maps:

The pastry shop it's sadly closed Y_Y
This is my front door. Seems a lot darker than it actually is, but I'm not very good with this camera, so bear with me :P
This is the firs part of the hall, holds the phone and our nice wi-fi router.
Another part of the hall.
On the left there's first the kitchen then the two bathrooms, on the right there's the owner's room (closed since she isn't here) and mine and the crazy person other flatmate's rooms (you'll see them later). As you can see we use the farthest corner of the hall for the drying rack :P
The hall leads first to my sister's room, though. It has a small balcony (that's where I'm taking the picture from) that we also use for the drying rack when it isn't raining.
This is the kitchen! Nice, practical and bright, the microwave oven is very useful and the normal oven is very good for baking! (already tested :P)
It also has a small balcony where we can put clothes to dry too, but I get sick every time I try, because it's on the 2nd floor and I feel dizzy every time I have to lean on the drying rack XD
This is the kitchen table as it was this morning :P
Moving on, here's the small bathroom. It hosts the washing machine, a huge sink and the shower box (I LOVE IT).
This is the main bathroom, with all the necessities and a big bathtub!
The cupboard, which is a mess but I didn't have the time nor the will to clean it XD
In front of the cupboard there's the crazy person other flatmate's door, and this is her room (she insisted that I take a picture).
And this is the door to my room!
You can recognize it because of this
which was a present from the lovely birmansan!
And, finally, my room! Here's what you see when you open the door.
This is the left wall.
This is my bed! Aren't my bedsheets ubercute? >_<
The rolled up thing at the foot of the bed is a mat I made for when I play with the Wii and I sit on the floor XD
This is where I'm writing from.
This is what you can see from outside my window.
Now, for the more detailed shots: the small bookshelf and what's on it.
My HP stuff (the amount I didn't left at my parents', I mean)
Figures and Anime novels.
My Wii, the HP Legos that I couldn't fit with the others and my craft books, and, on the upper right corner, some of my kitchen magazines.
And I think that's enough! I have more craft stuff is inside the wardrobe, and I forgot to take a detailed shot of the artbooks and my KKM plushies but I don't think people will care all that much XD
I'm enjoying life 'alone' quite a bit, even if there's more work to do, but finally having a room of your own is wonderful! Not to mention the city is full of nice places and shops to visit, and I can finally invite my friends and colleagues home for a cup of tea whenever I wish.
Well, if the crazy person other flatmate isn't home, that's it.
But that's a story for another time, I think you had enough for today!
Besides, I really need to work on my SnuSa fic... I'm soooooooooooo behind and it's due in about a month >_< Must hurry >_
