Woosh Wireless in Auckland SUCKS!!!!

I had stupid connection even though the signal was excellent. Goddamn internet connection… I’m pretty much sure that our apartment has only used about 30% of our monthly data cap (a few days ago). It’s not possible for Woosh to reduce our speed to the speed of dial-up connection. In short, I was so pissed off up until last night.

Oh, and I even lost a few items at TradeMe because of the lagging connection.

I could have bought that violin for just $50! And now I missed my chance

On the other hand, I have an interview scheduled with a Mr. Webster, Stephen of McDonald’s (Queen Street Branch) this evening for a part time job. Wish me luck!

It seems that Advertlets is not the only one in failing to pay bills in time. The oh-so-famous FBI does too. I was reading the news over at MSN Live and cracked up at one of the headlines: FBI wiretaps dropped due to unpaid bills.

Telephone companies have cut off FBI wiretaps used to eavesdrop on suspected criminals because of the bureau’s repeated failures to pay phone bills on time.

A Justice Department audit released Thursday blamed the lost connections on the FBI’s lax oversight of money used in undercover investigations. Poor supervision of the program also allowed one agent to steal $25,000, the audit said.

Advertlets is just a small fry compared to this. Just proves how twisted this world is. Many crime investigators and authorities worldwide commit crimes behind our backs and play nice in front of us.

Anyways, I’ve been caught up in work and real life this past couple of days. And I’ve been commissioned~ One is an ongoing project of copywriting. It’s a very small project, $1.5 per 200-400 words but I have to do around 5 to 10 per day. For a lazy student like me, $10 - $15 per day is already okay. I get paid on the spot everytime I submit my work. I so love being a part-time freelancer at GetAFreelancer.Com! What I did was the past few days were:

- Sunday: Installed, configured and test-run a Joomla site with Virtuemart
- Monday: Fix scripting on one Arabics football news website
- Tuesday: Write 5 lengthy articles on language and technology
- Wednesday: Made a custom Wordpress template for a maid agency

I guess I can take a break now.
