I'm going to reflect on my progress at creating my own webpage here. I have one word which kind of covers how my work has been going, miserably.

I'm a quiet person and am not use to creating pages dedicated to myself so i found the experience rather intimidating, feeling a constant need to be entertaining and witty.

I do think that the internet's an excellent place for expressing yourself as it gives you a certain amount of privacy and control but from a personal perspective its not for me. I think you still need to be confident to excel in the online world, just confidant in different things. The class helped me learn ALOT, throughout the semester i was made aware of how little i knew about computers and the internet. I never knew how influential and widespread blogging and personal webification was or the power it can have to both individuals and society as a whole.

I find it amazing that we've created another world, like the real one isn't enough.

New phone <3

This time i only lasted a day without a phone. If theres one thing i'm terrible at though its making a decision, so faced with 30 phones and 5 different companys was like a nightmare for me. Luckily i had two lovely friends with me, one was hungry and so quite useless and the other one used to sell phones and is male, so of course he took it upon himself to find me the best deal. I ended up with a sony ericsson, wouldn't know the model for the life of me but i do know that i'm in love with it. It has a 5 megapixel camera which is better then my digital one, a great music umm system do you call it? And a really good battery life.

I'm now on a plan, thought i may aswell go into debt with my phone aswell. Somehow got conned into expensive insurance which they assured me was a neccessity, as soon as i got home i was told otherwise though and really need to remove it.

Finding a new phone wasn't really that hard after all, easiest thing is grabbing the brochures from all te shops sitting down finding the one you want and just asking for it, not listeneing to their ridiculous sales tactics.

Customers

I'm going to have another whine about customers today, they are in fact all evil beings. Now i'm quite aware of the fact that i'm not always the worker and do indeed consume aswell but i like to think of myself as a moral and kind customer.

I work in a discount variety store that is most often frequented by seniors and stay at home mums. These people who one would assume are loving and harmless are transformed into horrible horrbile people when they can't purchase their chocolate covered ginger or their favourite washing powder.

It's the fact that they feel the need to blame the person on registers for items being out of stock or missing a barcode. The one person in the store who literally doesn't leave one spot for their entire 9 hour shift. Someone who isn't moving stock, ordering or ticekting. The person hired to help the customers.

*took a break from writing here*

As you can probabaly tell by my incessant rambling, i worked today and it wasn't good.
I think people need to chill out a bit more and relax, remember the people working in shops are people too!

LOST PHONE

I lost my phone yesterday.

I quite pathetically cried for hours on a bench in engadine mourning over the loss. I swear i only left it for two seconds! Some extremely desperate and quick person must of snatched it up.

I worked out why people talk about their phones as if they're alive, in this modern age we find ourselves living through technology, it becomes a part of our everyday lives, a part of us. Now that might seem a bit extreme but what was upsetting about losing it wasn't the loss of the actual phone, its easy enough to get one of those these days, the sad part was losing what was on it. I lost photos from nights out over the past months, messages from a friend that passed away, hundreds of phone numbers, music my friends sent me, the content on that small piece of technology meant the world to me and i'll never get it back.

They can do anything these days with phones, i just saw a phone with a flippin finger print detector on it! If hey can do that then surelyyy they can do something to prevent losing them.

The next thing they should add is a homing device! Now THAT would be a worthwhile feature.
