Shopping progress
I have the longest shopping list ever, but I made a good dent in it yesterday.
After another worthless day at the office (more about that later) I dragged myself to Dizengof Center (thankfully the cramps were subsided enough to make it possible to be in my feet for a few hours). Made it to the mall by 16:30 and headed straight to the iDigital store, where I politely but forcefully made them replace my scull-candy headphones for the second time (got the first pair almost two years ago, year and two months later one stopped working, and lo-and-behold it happened again). Since the first pair I bought came with a lifetime warranty I got to replace them free of charge the first time, but this time I got a different brand (because the store don't have scull-candy anymore), so the warranty is gone. I could have sent the fucking thing to scull candy themselves, but to be honest, I don't really want another pair that'll stop working after a year, and being without a pair of headphones drives me up the wall.
A long story short, I left with another pair after 30 minutes of tech inspections and phones browsing.
Took a turn around and went to the new area to see if I could find a pair of good work-out shoes (my pair is 6 years old and the soles are completely worn off) and got a pair in Adidas (and they're pink, to match my work out bag). The sales girl was lovely, and she thought I was 22, so all the more reason to like her... :)
Tried the computer store for a laptop bag, but those they had were as ugly as a Klingon, so I tried Soho and got a good one which may not be the most special, but is good enough to walk with (I still need another bag for my other stuff, but meh) and is elegant enough for my abroad trips, when they come.
I still need good work shoes and boots, not to mention bras, but I was out of strength and hands, so I took off.
All in all, good shopping trip.
As for work - well, I'm not going this week for the first general course. My "Career Manager" decided to postpone it. The reason he gave me was that I had nothing to do in Israel at the moment (no shit, Sherlock) so I need to see where I'm going to get my training done. Very annoying, and according to ER (project manager here in Herzlia) there might be the reason of money in there somewhere. I think he's right, since going to Houston for two weeks will be a good thing to do that's not in Israel...
The February course is still on, as far as I know, and I will really fight him if he'll want to postpone that one.
Which all comes down to that I still have no idea what I'm doing the next couple of weeks. I finished all the e-courses and, well, what I do most of the day is surfing...
