Got my new laptop and mobile phone the other day. Might've mentioned it. Had some difficulties with the order, but finally managed to get it through. Anywho, the laptop was ok, and the phone had a german only manual. That's what we know so far.
Up until now, when I've changed my phone with another, I've always just had it work straight out of the box. With this new one, however, it seems the messaging service isn't up to par between the phone and the service provider. Dammit. This means I need to call them and ask what the fuck is up. Yay. And of course they aren't open until the exact time I'm usually sleeping. Fuckers. I guess I'll switch back to my old phone for now. And then mess with this in my days off. I printed out the english user manual from the intraweb. 170 fucking pages. Printed it at work, since their printers are fast and above all, free (for me). Took me some time to sort the entire thing into chapters, and staple them together seperately. It's a huge pile, basically, but I guess it's for the best. I don't mind just messing around by myself with the phone, but I'm sure I'll run into a wall of problems, so I better have this ready just in case.
It's a pretty big phone, bigger than I had anticipated. But I guess it'll be ok. I can feel it, when I lug it around in my pocket. But I'm guessing I'll get used to that soon enough. What with all the stuff it can do, I'm sure I can suffer a bit. Hopefully I'll get to use at least some of it. We'll see I suppose.
Besides that, I'm starting to feel a bit ill. Like my annual case of the flu. It's annoying, as I rarely get sick. But once a year, usually, I get a hard case of it for a few days, and then I'm clear. Of course it has to happen now, when I'm about to move and have days off. Fucking epic. Oh well, I hope I can sleep it off today and tomorrow... and then it's moving day.
