I vacuumed my room today and did some laundry.
It feels good to clean up a little. I also sent a booking request for an apartment. It's a small T0 (studio) relatively close to where I'll be working, as well as being close to amenities and whatnot. It's reasonably-priced, too. Hopefully, the request is accepted.
I ate some rice with chickpeas and tuna, today. It was tasty, but nothing spectacular, frankly. I did also eat some sweetened milk in the middle of the morning to try and finish up a bottle we had lying around. That, on the other hand, was very tasty.
I also ended up looking up some classmates and old friends on Facebook and LinkedIn. Turns out, an old friend of mine is in the Netherlands, now; he moved there this year. That's pretty crazy... Many of my old classmates are working too, mostly at research companies, a few at consulting firms, and a few more are doing their PhDs. It's interesting to think about what others are doing, but I guess it's best to focus on advancing my own career, rather than constantly comparing myself to others or something.
I sent a warranty request for my backpack - made by CabinZero - and they're seemingly really slow. I sent 2 requests, because I thought maybe they didn't get my first one, since I didn't even get an automatic confirmation email! That was yesterday. This morning, I received an email saying they received it and were forwarding it to their team to get checked. Whatever that means, exactly. How long is this stuff supposed to take, I wonder? The Ridge took, what, 1 day to get everything settled and they sent me replacement parts. The wallet costs about as much as the freaking backpack, too. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't expect super-fast service, but I was really hoping for it, at least. Their warranty form was trash, too.
Sigh. Hopefully that also goes through and I get a new backpack or they at least give me something to fix it, I don't know. Maybe I can send it back and they'll fix it... I'd be annoyed, but fine with that, as long as they covered the shipping costs. Whatever...
Haven't been reading much, these past few days... I should change that.
