Hi folks, it’s me again.
We are now here in Dublin for five days and everybody survived the first days of work.
Sunday was regular weekend. We bought some stuff for the household and something to eat.
But we didn’t go out or something like that. We were just walking around looking for other possibilities to shop and so on.
On Monday we had a short meeting with Margaret Purdy from Internsplus. She gave us additional information about our working places and helped me and my three colleagues to get a bigger apartment on Tuesday. We had some problems with the new apartment but they were solved Wednesday.
I finally got to know my workplace. It’s Gerriko Technologies and the office is right beside Margaret’s office located at the Guinness Enterprise Centre.
Diana (my boss) is very kind and the other colleagues are very friendly too.
The job itself is not that IT (e.g. Personal Computer, Server and so on) related as I thought but there is a lot of electrical engineering involved in the current project which is fun too.
After the meeting with Margaret we were visiting the Guinness Storehouse. It was pretty interesting and we were also able to craft “The Perfect Pint”. We even got a certificate for that.
We also got the possibility to get a free sample of Guinness on our tour.
Here is a small overview of the Guinness Storehouse.
Later that day we were in an O2 Store to buy some Prepaid Cards and after that we went to Supermacs for lunch.
Because of the fact that my work place is not that related to PCs, I am right now learning the basics of electrical engineering and was also able to solder some circuits.
That’s about all for now.
On the Weekend I plan to make some kind of sightseeing inside of Dublin and make a couple of pictures for the Blog and my family at home and in Bavaria.
Here is a first impression of what you (hopefully) can await.
See you soon.
