Advice Nr.4

Hey everyone,

only two days left. So I will use the last hours to give you another advice.
The most important thing for a journey is your suitcase. If you forget some necessary items, you could get into trouble. Therefore I made a list with some items you should take with you or that could be useful. Before you start your journey you should create your own list. 😉

Compile a list!

– Information sheets from the OSZ IMT (Agreement)
– Laptop
– Mobile phone
– USB flash drive
– Email accounts and passwords (you should know them) 😉
– Important telephone numbers and email addresses
– Camera with enough memory
– External hard drive
– ID card
– Credit card
– Driver license (If you want to rent a car)
– Webcam
– Health insurance card
– Addresses from your family and friends
– A bit hardcash (banknotes and coins for the bus)
– Rainjacket
– Waterproof shoes
– Umbrella
– Shirt and tie
– Belt
– cosmetics
– Charger for your electronic devices
– Socket adapter
– German power strip (you will only need one socket adapter)
– Do not forget your clothes 😉

With these items you cannot do anything wrong.
Have a nice trip!

Yours George

My workplace

Hi there!

Actually I have to thank Toni for that brilliant idea, because I was wondering earlier about what else I can write, until I saw his post. So I quickly took some photos during the lunch break. What you can see is my current workplace at the apps team, where I use their laptop(the right one) to work at the site and mine for research, testing with JSFiddle and exchanging informations with my colleages. The lower picture shows the office as a whole. As you can see in the background of the picture, the lights in the back section of the office are turned off, that’s because of our power saving policy. The lights will turn off partially if there is no motion in that section of the office. When you sit too calmly on your chair, that even can happen when you still sit in that part of the office. 😀

finishing my project

Well as nearly everyone told you already this is our last week here in Belfast.
So I spent most of the week with working on my perl script.
I finished it Yesterday afternoon. I spent this morning with finishing my Europass and checking if all of the paperwork is done. In the Afternoon I gave Johnny a brief overview how my Script works and what he has to adjust for each Network.
I also gave them my contact details in case they need help with my script.

Last week of work

Hello everyone!

Yes now it is finally coming to an end. This is our last week Max, Tim and I have to work at Concentrix together with Peter. I enjoined working here a lot because all the people are so nice to us like Peter or Chris from the reception. Our jobs were simple and we did them well and now it is all ogre. We promised Peter that when he comes to Berlin(again) that we go and visit some bars and clubs with him and have a drink. Next week we will all go back to our work placements in germany.

dinner with celtrino

Yesterday our office went to show cooking in the city center. After we finished work at 17:30 we all went to a place that does wedding party’s and show cooking. It’s like a open hall with a big open kitchen in one of the corners and huge round tables. So first watched him preparing and cooking the four-course meal and then we ate it. Obliviously the second part was the better one. The quality of the food was astonishing. I took photos of the dishes but forgot to do one on the first dish. It was mushrooms on toast and a mushroom soup.

my work space

It’s a bit late for me uploading some pictures of my work space but I didn’t through about that before. The office is in the highest floor of a building on the Parnell street. The entrance is on a parking lot that is used for us and the other company’s around here. The building and the overall look in that area is not that nice. It looks really old and unkempt but the office itself is really nice and looks neat. I don’t have a picture from the hole office because its completely open and I don’t want to annoy anyone.
