I had a set of really great Panasonic earbuds. I got them with a CD player I used to have, and when I bought my Walkman I kept using them. The audio quality was excellent considering they were bundle-ins.
The other day I noticed that the left channel wasn’t working. Dead.
So now I’m using the ear buds that came with my Walkman; they’re alright but not as good. I’m quite sad about the earphones, as we’ve been through a lot of music together and they were REALLY good quality!

I went to the Joondalup shopping centre yesterday, to see the new addition. It’s quite good. I stopped in a clothing shop to get presents for some people. I’m kinda regretting it because one of the salespeople there was really pestering me; every minute she’d ask me how I was going. There was a shirt I tried on for myself which “showed the real me” (from one angle made me look thin and weedy, and from another angle made me look fat) so I wanted a larger size. They didn’t have the next size up, and the lady was almost falling over herself to get me the right size from somewhere. Not necessarily in a “good customer service” sort of way, more like a “desperate to make sales” way.
I got a phone call today; she had got in the shirt for me. I’m just going to go in, pay for it and collect it, and then get out - it’s a good little shop but I get a bit creeped out by that saleslady. I don’t especially like having salespeople sell to me (surprising, considering my job!) but this was a bit too much for me.

I went back to the Jeep store to get my shirt. This time, their receipt roll ran out as my receipt was printing, and they couldn’t reprint it on the new roll that they eventually found. *sigh*
I know they’ve only been open for a very short while, but I seem to have very bad luck when I go into the store. Unfortunately, I’ve probably bought the wrong size for the christmas presents and I’ll have to go back with the two present-ees to exchange them for bigger sizes. *another sigh*. We’ll see how they handle things then, before I pass a definite “Go/no-go” judgement on Jeep.
On the plus side, I bought two presents from Giraffe, a great little homewares and giftware shop on Grand Boulevard just opposite the Joondalup shopping centre underground carpark. I’ve been there before a few times, it’s where I bought the little penguin that stands proudly on the top of my computer! I was very happy with the presents I bought there, happy with the staff and service, and happy with the whole experience they’ve got there. I love the little shop and I’m sure you will too.
