Paul Panser – Fitness Studio? I got work!

What’s up folks?!

Now I’m sitting here at the office from Steria with a muscle ache. Why is that you ask? I will tell you!

On Monday Andrew and I met with Simon at the Victoria Square Center.  We drove to the very east of Belfast to a big warehouse of the government company I worked for the last couple of days. I still don’t know if I am allowed to tell you it’s name, so I won’t do it. Steria delegated a company to deliver six recks to the warehouse. For those of you who don’t know what a reck is: A reck is like a two metre high cupboard made of heavy metal where you can put in and combine many servers.

We had to take the recks to the second floor of that warehouse. I thought they had tools to transport the recks through the whole big hall, then up to the second floor, but I just thought wrong… We had to carry them all by ourselves through the big hall on the first floor, trough a small door which was way smaller than the recks height, then up two stairs with about 20 steps per stairs,  through another small door and a big hall and then trough a even smaller door into the serverroom. And all that six times! baeh…. However, I survived it somehow and was treated after it to lunch. Yay!

At the end of Monday the last thing I was able to do was to do some shopping of drinking and pizza. After that my condition was that of a half dead person, because I tried to move as few as possible.

At the next day I was a little bit late at the office because I was chasing my parcel my dad sent to me for my birthday. Not until I asked the people of the third post office that morning I was told, that DHL and the local post offices doesn’t work together and they had no clue where my parcel is right now… The day was starting really great and it would became even better(attention: irony!). At the office  Simon comes straight to me and told me, that he needed me again to deliver five recks to the same company, but an other subsidiary. When he added, that this time we had to deliver it to the sixth floor my first thought was: „Run Paul, as fast as you can or you will die!!!“ xD. BUT this time they had a lift and the only time we had to carry those fu…(heavy) recks was when we put them out of the truck. Piece of cake after what we did yesterday!

At the end of the day it appeared that I hadn’t got an information that my parcel was tried to deliver because DHL was trying to deliver my parcel and Kai’s on the same time and the stupid DHL deliverer must have thought that both parcels were his… ARGH! However… Kai’s peer at his work placement figured out where our parcels are and organized that they would be delivered on wednesday to Kai’s work place.

This goes to the Belfast exchange student from 2012 and afterwards who is reading this right now: When you want to get a parcel from Germany to Belfast, use your work placement adress! When the parcel once couldn’t get accepted, you will have a hard time to find your parcel, and DHL’s support service is no help either.

Ah I have to add one thing for Tuesday:    Happy Birthday Grandma, I love you! =)

Today is wednesday and we delivered many devices for the insides of the recks we delivered yesterday. I didn’t saw them all, but I think there were about 15 server within the delivery, quite expensice stuff O.o. Today the weather is really nice and warm, so I sweated a lot when we were carrying the servers, but somehow I’m getting really used to this „Carrying-a-lot-of-heavy-stuff“ ^^. That’s why I chose this topic, thanks to my work I don’t need a fitness studio anymore =).

Now it’s almost time to go home. I think I will enjoy the rest of my day, eat a pizza and do some handwashing, because most of my clothes for work are not suitable for the washing machine. If you want to look smart, you have to work hard! wow that was a rime 😀

P.S.: I hope my parcel is already at home :/

P.P.S: @Grandpa I think I’m getting sloooowly used to the tea here 🙂

See ya!
