Life is going on

[the_milky_way]

♥ I'm slowly but surely settling in and things seem to be working out okay. My work is interesting and my boss is pretty cool. I can ask him anything and the other three girls in the office as well. I think it won't be too hard or too long. Right now I'm doing translations and man, it's sucks to do that when half your letters are missing. Try to translate into German with a QWERTY keyboard.. argh.

♥ I'm also close to figuring out the Dublin Bus system, which helps a lot in the morning when you want to avoid all the school kids. The bus is still crowded though. But I learned (through minor panic attacks this morning when I thought I was in the wrong bus) that I actually can take the Xpress Bus as well, which saves about 15 to 20 minutes in the morning traffic.. yay. I'm also in an office building right next to the Guinness Brewery. LOL

♥ The one thing I still have to figure out is where I can find the cheapest supermarkets around here, since we are in the suburbs there are quite some distances to walk and I really can't afford to eat out every day. I did today though, awesome burgers. :) Also found an HVM (SPN Season 5 is so mine in a few weeks, saw the adds for it already) and an American Apparel (I need to get some warm sweaters I think and a new umbrella, mine broke this morning, damn wind).

♥ Took some pics today and will upload them soon.

♥ I haven't read a single story in days, my schedule is all scrambled and I just don't have the time to read anymore... I don't like it. But wow, I have a social life.. go figure.

♥ I miss my cat and everyone else... and it's just been a few days.

♥ Off, to watch Gossip Girl

Why don't you just switch the keyboard to a German one in the OS?

Looking forward to the pics!

*huggles*

[the_milky_way]

Hmm, maybe I can ask if I'm allowed to change it... good idea.. hopefully I can remember where all the letters are LOL.

:D It was sunny today, so I hope they turned out okay, haven't checked yet.

*huggles back*

I remember when I was at a public computer at the hotel in Prague, I changed the keyboard every morning. One day I forgot because I thought it was on German already, except it turned out someone had set it to Japanese... that was fun! Well, it was fun in hindsight, LOL!

Sunny sounds good. It was raining cats and dogs here. :(

[the_milky_way]

LOL, sounds like fun yeah.. Hehe.. I made a note on my spreadsheet with all the Umlaute, to copy&paste them when needed. Tedious work.

Oh it rained almost all the day, just when I was done with work and meeting the others in the city it changed... But still my umbrella died this morning and I actually liked it *pouts*

I'm so glad you're doing fine there hunny. I knew you'd be okay.
How are you going to stay there anyway, do you know it?

I gotta watch GG too. ;)

*hugs*

[the_milky_way]

Thank you... I'll see how it'll go... I'll stay for three months, so I will be back December 10th. I'm still a little homesick and miss my cat and my mum, but I can email and call.. so not so bad.

I have to find GG first LOL

[the_milky_way]

Awww... thank you so much. *huggles*
I only found the 1Gig version.

[elless18.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're getting settled in okay. I'm glad things are going well.

<333

[the_milky_way]

Thank you.
I think I'm still under a little protection at work because I'm new but I don't think things will change. I have a list of stuff to do for the next few weeks, so that is good,.
I think it also helps that I'm not alone at the house or in the city and that we can call each other (free cell phone plans are awesome).

<3333

[elless18.livejournal.com]

Ooh, free cell phone plan! That's awesome! Can you use it to call home too?

[the_milky_way]

No, unfortunately not. It's only free among the ones of the group who have the same company. It's actually expensive to call home from the Irish cell phone, it's much cheaper to use my German card and call, which is strange.

[cacklesthewitch.livejournal.com]

\o/! for things going well so far. And it sounds like you found the stores that matter, so that's good, LOL.

Ooh, pictures. Can't wait!

[the_milky_way]

LOL, right.. :)

Pictures soon. I took some more today. I hope they turn out well.

Sounds all good, even though you're a bit homesick. *hugs*

[the_milky_way]

*hugs*.. I think I'll stay homesick for a while. But it's okay.

[akintay.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're settling in okay and things are going well! *hugs*

[the_milky_way]

Thank you.. It's exciting and still new. :)
But I think the normal day life will catch with me soon enough.

[midnightflower.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're having fun :)

[the_milky_way]

Thank you.. :)

[benitle.livejournal.com]

Glad you're settling in ok. Dublin is such a lovely city. :) For how long are you staying and what kind of company are you interning at?

(Haha, I love you for calling it a QWERTY keyboard. *g*)

[the_milky_way]

It definitely is an interesting city, and I get to see a lot of it because I have to take the bus to work. I'll be staying for three months and I work for a company called "Following the Camino" which organizes pilgrimages.


LOL, I just had to vent about it.. LOL
*hugs*

PS, you r icon makes me want to watch the movie again.

[joans23.livejournal.com]

So glad it's going good, sweetheart!! Just knew you'd rock it! *big hugs*

[the_milky_way]

Thank you... *hugs back* :D
It's still all new and exciting.

I'm glad to hear you're setting in fine. Looking forward to see the pics!

[the_milky_way]

Nah, that's okay... I guess I miss a lot entries these days, too.
