Livin' in the City

I ordered some shoes from Shoebuy two weeks ago. Turns out they arrived in Switzerland 12 days ago. Shoebuy contacted me to verify my address. So apparently DHL attempted delivery and didn't leave me a slip. Asses! I want my shoes. I will call them tomorrow and try to sort it out.

Also, no massage today, because my masseuse is still in Poland. Hopefully I can go on Friday.

On the plus side, I took next week off. I'm so looking forward to it. My motivation is non-existant at the moment. Yesterday I was so tired I went to bed early. I slept 7 1/2 hours on a week night, which must be a new record.

Number 1: The Zurich Lions won today and made it into the Swiss Playoff final where they will play against Geneva-Servette. They won the sixth game 5:1 against their arch-nemesis Davos. What a difference a year makes... Davos won Swiss Champion last year.

Number 2: Yesterday I got the boots that I ordered about 3 weeks ago. My first and only pair of boots and they actually fit. Okay they don't fit perfectly, because compared to my calves, my ankles are normal sized, so there's a bit of a bulge. They still look okay on me. I'm gonna wear them tomorrow to work. I might also play enabler to one of my coworkers, because we talked today and she's looking for boots and has trouble finding boots she likes and that fit. I bought these from Duo Boots.

I'm free, free I tell you. My farewell party at work on Tuesday was until about 8 and the only ones left were Roberto, Shirley and I. Roberto helped me carry the boat loads of crap home. I knew him living close by would come in handy one day. The whole thing hasn't quite sunk in yet. I wonder how my job reference from there is gonna look, 'cause my old boss left Mid-August. My new boss has been my boss for the last 3 months there and I don't think I've ever been more unmotivated at a job.

Freedom would taste sweeter if there wasn't work done in the apartment directly over mine. And with work I mean, something that makes my apartment smell of chemical fumes and makes it sound like an airplane is landing in my bedroom. I sent an angry e-mail to my landlord today, asking him when the hell they are gonna be finished, because they have been doing stuff for at least two weeks. Especially because these fuckers aren't limiting their noisy work to business hours. After dealing with the constant noise the whole day I really don't need them to continue their work in the early evening hours.

I spent about 70 bucks on make-up today. So much for my resolution to watch what I'm buying. But the make-up I bought has been recommended to me by Shirley and I like the foundation, I will try the apple facial scrub later and the eyeshadow trio from L'Oreal for green eyes really does work for me.

Because of my sucky situation at work (details see "I Hate My Job" Thread at Snarkfest), I indulged in a little retail therapy. I bought myself a new cell phone. It's this one.



It's not really a new phone, the modell itself is old. But it has all I need in a phone. I had my old phone for 6 1/2 years and the fact that it has a camera and you can send MMS messages is more than enough for me.

I also imported "Grosse Pointe - The whole series" from the US and even though it's a Region 1 DVD, it's actually playable in Region 2, 3 and 4. I love the show. I had forgotten how awesome it was and just how much I wanted Marcy and Dave to end up together. I'm still pissed the show ended on a cliff hanger.
