Post!

Maybe the claims that the Austrian postal system is the fastest in the world are true within the country, but I would disagree for sending things within countries. Mother and Father posted me a package (thanks, by the way) on Tuesday 5th October. I received it Thusday 14th. Greg sent me one last Friday (many thanks) and I just got it this morning, so it took a whole week. There is something wrong somewhere. Having said this, I should be sending Alastair's Christmas present to Japan around now if I want it to arrive on time as it will probably take around two months to get there. Seriously. So I had better get my thinking cap on about what to send.

In other news, my weekend started at 11am yesterday (Thursday) Brillo pads. This time next week my Herbstferien will have started. Amazing. This job is pretty sweet, I'm not going to lie. Yesterday I went into work and there was a huge pile of biscuits in the staffroom; one of the teachers had been up baking until the early hours. Maybe I could use this to fill my time. I was not overly keen on the idea of students adding me on Facebook so I changed my name. Less than 24 hours later, I received the following message:

Hi,
I'm a pupil of the HTL3 Rennweg. You spent a lesson with us on wednesday with Mrs. Stracke Weiss.
And as you can see: I found you.
It was quite simple. Because you have told us that you can't be found, I thought about it. And than I searched my notes. And I found it. A way to find U. I searched for your Brother, Alastair Coates, in Facebook and than I looked up your second name in his friend list.
If u really don't want to be found, you shouldn't tell pupils your brother's name. ;-)

Yours sincerely
Jonas Keisel (2DI)

The teachers were not wrong when they said the students were all hackers. I suppose it was pretty naive of me to expect students at a school specialising in ICT not to know how to find me without any difficulty.

So far my weekend has been spent less than productively. I watched numerous episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (this is a recommendation, v funny) and FINALLY set up Skype. It is my new favourite thing and I spent approximately 4 hours on there yesterday. Just need to buy a new webcam now to complete the experience!

Well, that is all I have to say for now, quite a boring update. Sorry!

PS I have no idea why my blog looks like this today, I can't sort it out!
