My brand new toy


Wow, it's been a month since I posted my last post.. What have I done since then? On Friday, June 29 was my last working day as an accounting advisor. As already announced, I quit my job to realise other projects. My first task as an unemployed (or rather self-employed) person was to go on holidays for a week! I spent a great time at lake garda in Italy and was able to relax, reset my brain from my corporate life and even windsurf a bit. In the past few days I have been working on our business project with my two partners and - more importantly - I had to do get organised! Working for a big four company makes a lot of things very easy: you get a mobile phone, smartphone, notebook and other infrastructure that makes working very simple. On June 29 I handed back all these nice tools and gadgets to my employer and all of a sudden felt quite naked... So I bought some stuff for my home office.


Yesterday I found the most beautiful little smartphone in the world. My new HTC S710. It was love at first sight and I'm defintively not a very decisive person. Of course I didn't decide to buy it because of all the good features it has... which girl shops like that? But now - after one day of testing the functionalities I'm sure that I'll keep this gorgeous smartphone for a long time. The HTC S710 has Windows Mobile 6 on it, a slide-out QWERTY-keypad, a large and bright display, a 2 Mpix camera and many more. Using the organisational features such as emails, calendar and contact manager is really easy.

The positive side effect of this purchase was the price: I got it for 329 Swiss francs instead of 799, because I stayed with the same mobile service that provides my former employer. Now I'm walking around with a big smile on my face, proud of my latest acquisition.
