iphone craze

The iphone craze has hit our house. All Dave talks about is the iphone can do this, it can do that, check this out. Will I ever hear the end of the iphone. It is a pretty cool phone, i'd compare it to the PDA phone I used to have. But better because it is touch easier to move the pages about with 2 fingers than 1 stylus. Nice big and clear screen and easy to use. It is not for everyone though. I myself wont get one for it is too big to carry around as phone and way not worth the price. I am a devoted Samsung fan ;) I think most peope get an iphone will only use it as a phone and music player. Give it a week or two and our house will be back to the usual routine, until the next gadget comes along to disrupt the peace.

Surfing naked!!!

Finally back on the internet after almost 2 weeks of no internet. Does it really take that long reconnect the internet? You'd think that the internet providers do this for a living should have this process down packed since this is there bread and butter. How hard is it to disconnect and reconnect when we are with the same provider. And yes, we are naked ;). Why have a phone line when you can have voip and the quality is the same. Sorry Rita, we had to use you as our telephone line quality tester. 

We had internet at work, on our phone so we weren't 100% isolated from the web. It did restrict us quite a bit at home. You come to realise how much we depend on it. When you have that question you not sure of the answer you can google it. Look up restaurant phone numbers or plan what to do over the weekend. But the internet is also the biggest time waster. You can spend hours on it and when you leave your PC you think to yourself what have I done. I didn't even turn on my PC for the whole time we had no internet. There was no point visiting the study since I had no internet and to log into work. It was almost like a holiday from work. I always answered, can't do it no internet access from home.

Maybe we should switch off the home internet every so often so we can have a life outside of work and sitting inside.

Whats New?

After a long break life is so wonderful. Spending time with the family during xmas. Never a dull moment with the family and plenty of food. Never stopped eating. I think we covered all of sydney and central coast. The holiday at the Sunshine coast was so relaxing. The best way to relax in your holidays is to get away from your home. Otherwise you end up cleaning and not enjoying your time off.

Then it is the dread of going back to work. First day back at work, everyone is so happy. Sifting through the hundreds of emails. You look forward to the change in the new year. After a day or 2 you notice nothing has changed in the office. Less people as they slowly return to work. With each new return of people back at work, it brings you back to reality. Same work no change. You hope for a miracle that something exciting is going to happen. Nope, reality sinks in again that I will be working for another 30 years or more. Maybe I will win the lotto and quit.

Don't worry already planning my next holiday or many mini getaways.

Check out the Diamond Princess. I can always dream.
