Week 1

Hey There!
 

This week has been the most exciting and rewarding, starting at a new firm and meeting new people! I have had fun and I am sure it does not end here. Work is pure bliss...but I get so caught up in it. Yesterday I finished some drawings only to discover that the line weights did not come out in a good of a condition but my colleague gave me advice on where I can improve so that I can show the boss as soon as they are up to standard.
 

Today I am going to take breaks when I'm meant to and not overwork myself because yesterday, I paid greatly for that by getting the hugest headache ever. I even couldnt grab anything to eat because of wanting to finish..BUT luckily I woke up and everything was fine and I could come to work. Now I am taking it easy and making sure that I do not stare at the screen so much...Hopefully I'll manage to post some of the work I have completed on the blog soon...but for now, ITS BACK TO WORK!

Job.....CHECK!!!!!!

I have finally found a job...with NN architects! After that life just went at a fastforward. My job is all the way in East London. I had to move quickly and waste no time...Monday 21st of Feb, I was due to start at work.

I met with my employer, Mr N Nduku and the rest of the team...and I have to mention how warm and welcoming they all were. My first day started off with a meeting and consisted of two main tasks, namely doing some elevations and sections and going on site to meet with one of the clients, Eskom.

I am still finding my way around work and around town...it's not as big as Cape town therefore that is not too much of a task. Right now, my biggest aim is to learn and grasp as much as I can. Hopefully I will have a good workmanship and stay here, but from what I've endured so far so, that hope does not seem too far fetched at all. Till next time....
