The internship has started

Hey everyone,

the last days were very nice and the time passed away quickly. On Saturday, Pauls family was here for afternoon coffee, cake and dinner. We talked a lot about Ireland, Germany, culture in both countrys and the first experiences that I have collected in Dublin. The people here in Dublin are more comfortable and more polite than the people in Berlin. Maybe that is because the city is much smaller as well as the population.

Monday was my first day at work. I am very glad to have the opportunity to work here in the „Computer Factory“. We had a warm welcome.

First Joe showed us the area and on which places we will work during the next 7 weeks.
He defeated us in billiard and told us what he has done in his whole career.

And it was a lot of fun.

Today we cleaned some PCs and Christopher and I chose one for our WSUS update server.
We upgraded the amount of the RAM so that the server will have enough resources for challenging tasks.

We installed „Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2“ from a disk for a temporary test environment.
Christopher installed the Windows Server Update Services role, because we decided that he will
manage the WSUS server and i will try to install a PXE installation server.
Besides that, we got some information from the internet about the server roles.

  I am looking forward to have a wunderful time in my internship.

First two days at work

Yesterday was my first day at Kedington NI a company that offers ICT solutions like
structured cabling, VOIP, intelligent lighting and UPS.
I started my work at 8:30am, I was greeted by a nice guy called Mark.
He showed me my workplace and told me to sit down for a few minutes, until Hans arrives who would take care of me for today.
A couple of minutes later Hans arrived, showed me around and introduced me to the few people that were here today.
All of my co-worker that I met so far are very nice and kind.
On monday Hans introduced me to his tasks, he is the Managment Accountant, he takes care about all the finances here at KNI.
I haven’t got much informations about my tasks so far but I’ve met Lawrence today who gave me a few more informations about my tasks.
Steven another co-worker gave me a brief overview on intelligent lighting what it means, what you can do and how much money you can save.
Tomorrow I’m going with Lawrence to a costumer, to collect some data about the intelligent lighting that they put up there.

First day at work

Yesterday was my first day at Celtrino. Its a IT-Solution company for automated trading. The office is in the highest floor of a old house near city centre, with about 20-25 employees. My first day consisted of a PC that wont boot over CD or USB and a slow notebook. We could not fix both but that wasn’t much of a problem. The „IT“ consist of Amit (IT System engineer) and now me. Amit showed me the „Server room“ and where i can find everything I might need. Overall was it a nice day and I look forward my next weeks.

First day of work

Hello everybody!

Today Tim and I had our kinda first day at work. What do I mean? Yeah The first day we had were more like an introduction to the company itself and that was quite intresting. I forgot to say that I am now working for the IT Support at Concentrix. Concentrix provides phone, chat and mail support for other companies like Microsoft, EA and Kings(Candycrush) and just took of the customer support from IBM so they jumped from 6000 employees to 45000 employees and in the next month 1000 more will join them. Thats quite a number of people and of course those people need a place to work and I think that will be our job. I think we will set up the workplacements for most of the time and of course support the people who are currently working but what we acactly hove to do will us told tommorow, our first official first day at work where we going to meet our co-workers. I am looking forward to meet them. My first impression of the company is that those people are all nice and flexible and I hope my first impression wasn’t wrong. That’s what we will see tommorow.
