Thursday, October 09, 2003 In a valiant effort to get my resume together, I decided to get a "more professional" email account. "scornfate" isn't exactly the right impression I want to get across to a potential employer, is it?

Anyways, I went and got myself a german-based account (the gmx website). It was so difficult! I was sitting in front of the computer trying to figure out the account set-up page for close to an hour!

For starters, they want you to have a valid German, Austrian or Swiss postal address.. and you can't get away with just entering some numbers at random. They actually know! I was really fed up with the process, and in the end, I got me the address of Goethe Institute in Frankfurt (I figured that if the birthplace of Goethe himself is not valid, then nothing in the world will be) and hey presto! I got me a nice email account.

I must say though, the whole process was quite an ordeal...

P.S: I'm getting bored with the present template (which may explain the lack of inspiration to blog). Does anyone has any ideas?
