One week and going strong...

So today marks the one week that I have been with Linden Projects which is based in Table View.
Initially i was going through mixed emotions prior to having started with them, my nerves were going haywire, yet I was realy excited to begin this adventure.


The day had finally come when I had to meet my new boss and fellow colleagues. Linden Projects is run by Willie van der Linden, who manages and overseas the construction side of things, his wife, Enrica, is the firms architect aka 'my boss,' then there is the draughtsman, Xavier, and the receptionist, Tamryn.


At the start of the week I was a bit quiet, and kept to myself, as i wasnt sure what would be expected of me, and being in a new environment, was a tad bit strrrange.


Throughout the week I was given various smaller tasks, such as adding ammendments to plans, making changes on the plans on the computer, a small amount of admin work, and was, merely just showed how things work around the office. I then attended one meeting with the client close to the end of the week, with Enrica, to confirm details of what the client's expectations of the proposed project are and to discuss one or two problems that we had encountered while drawing up of the plans. This meeting took a few hours, but was very enlightful. was made clear of what was required of the brief :)


By the time Friday had come, i was just looking forward to a weekend without homework or assignments, and especially being free from 8 - 5 office hours!
I managed to get a good rest in during the weekend, only to prepare myself for what the following week was to bring.
But im ready!




will keep you posted on how the week goes.
ciao
