Birthday and Technology

Well done another week of work and it went okay, no sales yet but think I am getting close. Yesterday was my 1st birthday in Israel since making Aliyah, been here before over my birthday but not living in the country. And well it was okay my birthday nothing special, went out Thursday Night with a few people into Tel Aviv for a few drinks, Friday my actual birthday I worked for a few hours and then just chilled out at home as I have done today, though going out tonight for dinner and to a bar so fun there. But generally a very dull birthday, pretty much expect that don't think I've ever had a really exciting birthday LOL. Decided that I may end up living in a cave as it seems all technology I have is rebelling against me, my Laptop isn't working 100%, my Kindle is playing up and so is my IPod and even my phone is going nuts though it might be the heat for it all, I'll send a forwarding address to my cave for any mail anyone wants to send me LOL. Generally all is good, getting out and about slowly, slowly and things seem to be going well.

Tiring and Frustrating Week

Aren't you lucky, 2 blog posts in a week, been a while since I've felt like doing that. But anyway Well completed my second week at work and it was fun but as the title says frustrating. I'm doing a job where I've got to talk to people over the phone and well its mildly frustrating that I get one of a few possibilities when I ring someone. I either get A) All Circuits are busy, please try later. B) It rings but no-one answers. C)Voicemail or finally D) where they answer and aren't interested. I suppose those of you who have done a Sales job before will tell me that its never easy over the phone to sell something to someone as you don't know what they are doing at the time you ring them, but its frustrating to just be sat there dialling the same numbers and hoping for different results. Oh yeah there is also the chance that when you get to speak with someone they don't speak English!!! Still I'm remaining optimistic my first sales isn't too far away and then I'm sure it will become easier, keep your fingers crossed for me and wish me my 1st sale... Ideally by the end of this week in time for Birthday :-) Anyway what else to tell you, nothing much I spent time with friends on Thursday night at a club in Tel Aviv for a birthday which was fun, tiring as well having done a 9 hour day and knowing I was working Friday morning I was a little tired when I got to work, fortunately only a 5 shift because of Shabbat... I miss the days I could work/study all day, party all night and have a few hours sleep and do it all again. Still that's what the weekend is for :-). Apart from all that, nothing much, going to Tel Aviv to see a few friends tomorrow and just enjoy the rest of my weekend.
