Friday, I was alone again in Techmatic and rebuilt the Dell-Desktops.

Only one of four workers was there and he sat in another corner of the big hall.

That was very funny, because there was no sound except my music. Joe ,my supervisor, is always laughing about the music I hear.

I asked him why he is laughing about the music and he said that the music type changes from song to song. Rock-> Techno->Oldie-> Drum & Bass… and so on.

Although I worked alone, I managed a lot. During the day I worked on seven PCs simultaneously, which installed or loaded some updates.

Because of rain and storm, Joe sent me back home at 3 pm. It was great, because my girlfriend was in Dublin for one week. So I could show her the city.

Paul Panser – Another Week Ends

What’s up folks?

I was really excited on Thursday, because my company invited me to do some Karting after work. That day we talked a lot at the office with each other. It was quite a nice day.

At 17 o’clock Greg ordered some pizzas and chips to the office. After we ate as much as we could, me and Matt drove to the Karting place. It was inside a big hall, where the main colors on the walls were black, red and gold. That was quite the advantage for me ;). In the waiting area you can play table tennis, pool and some video games on some old, nostalgic gaming automats.

After we put on our race outfits we got an introduction for the race. We decided to plan the driver switches by ourselves. I teamed up with Jim. He was really enthusiastic, because he thought: He is a German, he is like Michael Schuhmacher! Yeah he had high expectations on me and I hope I didn’t dissappointed him, but now to the details of the race.

Every team had one Go-Kart to drive with. The race was going to last one hour, so Jim decided to switch places every 12 minutes. I said that he can drive in the first place, because I didn’t knew the race course. Jim was really good and after 12 minutes I waved him out. Now it was my turn, but my first round was not so good, because I was only getting used to the Go-Kart. After three laps I was used to the kart and to the course and I think I did not too bad :).

When the race was finished our team was only on the fourth place (from seven teams), but it doesn’t matter, because we all had much fun. After we honored the winners…

Thursday,05/05/11

Today, it was the first day I was alone at work. Because of that, it was very quiet sometimes. The only loud noise was the big crushing machine when it destroyed some hard drives.

At this moment of destroying some hard drives, I had to go out of the hall to take a little break. Furthermore there is nothing more to tell. There are just so many computers, which we have to rebuild and that takes a lot of time. After the work was done, I was very tired.

I watched some episodes of “how I met your mother” and then I went to bed. Actually it was a short day, because nothing special or anything funny has happened.

Yes, from time to time, there are also boring days.

php java and football

I finished my function to hide the subcategories and I had to test it. I solved some little problems but now it is working.

My colleague and I finished the java script function to creat a pop up window for the size guide. We had to edit every singel product to include the java script and that is the problem. First our bosses have to discuss whether we are applying the changes to the live system.

After the work i was watching with my colleagues the football match.

many orders

My colleague and me created in team work an new voucher code function in php. The function shows only the voucher code on the bills of the orders. Also we created a new java script function to open the size guide in a pop up window.

Until the lunch i was working on the taks which i got from Colm. I have to create a function which allows to hide same subcategories from the sidebar. For that do you need a second function where do you can tip in the id´s from the subcategories on the back end to exclude the subcategories from the sidebar.

After the lunch I most helped Jarek to work on the orders because of we had nearly 30 orders which had to finish the orders at 4 o´clock p.m.. We packed the last order and in the same second the postmen was ring on the door to pick up the boxes.

Paul Panser – Back to Work

Hi there folks.

Yeah, Tuesday was my first day at work after so many days off. It was quite nice to relax for the time, because I was very busy and had some trouble in Berlin right before the exchange to Belfast.

So I came fresh and with new power back to work. Unfortunately there was not much to do, so I used the time to study some topics like RAID – Systems, Server Security and other server-related topics in the Server+ Certification Bible.

On Wednesday I almost did the same like the day before. Those days exist, too. You can’t do anything about it, so I used the day to study again and to write my blog entrys, because I was really lazy about writing these in the past days.

In the evening I chatted a little bit with my friends back in germany.

One more thing to add: Happy Birthday to my cousine Laura ♥♥♥

See ya folks!
