The first two weeks of work
It has now been two weeks since I started working so I figured it might be a good time for a post about how things are.
Before I started working all I heard from the working people is how they miss the student time. How much more demanding working life is. It won't be an overstatment to say I went to my first day a bit worried.
My first day was like Christmas. I got a mobile phone, a laptop and a car. And that was pretty much it. The next two days have been just as nice. Together with all the people who started working for Getronics-Pinkroccade this month we had a 2 day into plan. Some presentation, some group talks, and beer. Yes every building in the company has its own beer tap with a barman. I like that. Did I mention, its free beer? The people I met were intellegent, interesting and fun. If this is how most people in the company are, I made a good choice coming to work here.
From the forth day on, and for the coming 2 weeks I'm in courses in Amersfoort. Its quite relaxed. I'm doing the courses alone, with a tutor I can turn to for questions. My tempo is quite high (im going almost at twice the expected rate) so I might be finished earlier then expected.
After I finish the courses I have a month of stage to build some web app (interesting ideas for what exactly are welcome). Then it will be time to actually work on real projects.
