… and I have this brand new layout. And for some reason I have no idea what to say about it… well aside the fact that it took me 2 months to finish it :cool: Feel free to admire slash criticize it, and don’t forget to send in your suggestions. In the meantime I shall go back to agonizing over my licentiate project, as well as other semestrial projects. I HATE senior year!
On a more ‘interesting’ note, the following conversation took place when I attempted to purchase a 5 Euro mobile phone card.
Me: Do you happen to have 5 Euro Orange mobile phone cards?
Vending Lady: Of course, they’re 16.5 RON a piece.Having previously been told by my dad, that such cards are around 21 RON, I find this rather odd.
Me: Are you sure they are 5 Euro cards?
Vending Lady: Of course, of course.
So I pay, without checking, but then out of curiosity DO take out the card. And - surprise - it says 4 Euro (plus 0.4 eurocents bonus). Exasperated :roll: I take the card back and demand an explanation.
Me: Excuse me, but this is a 4 Euro card. I asked for a 5 Euro card.
Vending Lady: It IS. Just look at the bonus.
Now, I admit that my Maths’ skills are rather slipshod, but still: since when does 4.4 Euro = 5 Euro?!
