Ahhh, the week is over. It was a long week with some overtime involved. There's quite a bit interpersonal communication, interpretation, and translation involved in this job. Don't get me wrong, the work is 95% English language. It's a matter of being friendly, involved, and clear discussions. The week started out a bit stressful and ended in the steam room/sauna/pool/jacuzzi (pretty much in that order). They have great facilities at the hotel here. I'll nab a picture of it later.
This week I was self-introduced to the best communication system yet. It's clearer sounding than any cell phone, zero delay in conversations, and a great way to give your 2 cents per minute (or even free). Let me introduce you to Skype. I've seen Skype used on numerous television shows, however never quite had any need for it. After being here for 3 days w/out a phone (no SIM card in the new work phone & late arriving coworkers couldn't get one), I was desparate to talk to my Hubby. After a failed instant messenger/voice program I went to Skype. Within 5 minutes we were chatting. My computer called his cell phone. The first 10-15 minutes were free. Then I had to pay $10, which will last me 500 minutes. Next day he downloaded Skype and that's where the real savings came in... free. Computer to computer is also when you get the clearest line ever. As my parents exclaimed, "wow, it's like you're in a sound room". Not sold yet? It's hands free, so for all you multi-taskers... well, just don't type. The other party can hear the keyboard movement. Yes, it's that good.
So, if you'd like a free chat, just look for my email address. If you don't already have it, I probably wouldn't want to talk to ya anyways.
Off for new town adventures on Funen tomorrow morning. God weekend!
