HOT CHOCOLATE

Yes today my boss made me hot chocolate!was a nice I was very happy about that and it was a lovely reward after a long morning. I'm still busy with the design of the one project and keeps changing as the next door neigbours never agree to anything! it can be so annoying.... Anyway it's starting to look really good and I am impressed with Enrica's approach on things. She is very open to trying new things and what's best is that she actually takes my opinion in to consideration. She's great to work for and helps me with a lot.

Short Week at work

This week has gone by very fast, possibly because Monday was a public holiday. I enjoyed my day off although during that time I caught up on work, sleep, admin work for HSA and meetings. The HSA (Hellenic Student Association) for those of you who are not familiar, the HSA is an organisation which raises funds for bursaries as well as creating bonds with Greek students. We are governed by NAHYSOSA which controls the funds as well as making sure all the committees work up to their standards. This week Friday we are sailing off on the Jolly Roger and YES! I am dressing up haha

Anyway, work is going well and is so busy.

14 MARCH

Last week was one busy week! Hence I did not publish my weekly post on Friday.

Last week I was given the task to redraft a house which was drawn up by a local architect but the plans did not reach the construction stage as the clients were not happy with the architects design. As a result the clients approached my boss and asked her to alter the plans.

I was to redraft this non existent house and later print it out for my boss to re design certain aspects of this house. The site is located in Bay View and has the most spectacular view of the sea and table mountain. 

I was ready and had everything printed to present to my boss, Enrica van der Linden, last week Tuesday. During our meeting we were looking at the plans and continuing with the new design. I was given the privilege to draw up some designs of my own and to combine my thoughts with hers.

Today we are to discuss the final designs and hopefully she chooses some of mine.

I will update my blog with the next phase of this assignment

*1 MARCH

Last week the heat really tired me out and working was difficult even though we had the air-con!
No measuring up took place during that week but I did go to council a few times. The people there take forever to assist, I must recommend the council in town they are the best so far.

My boss  is still pleased with the work I'm producing and I have to add that she's a pleasure to work for, she helps me a lot when I'm stuck or if I have any questions to ask.

I'm excited to see the next renovation or building go up as one of them I would have redrafted and given a bit of in put here or there.

Today I bought biscuits to work and it's now one o'clock... they are pretty much gone :) haha

Anyway I have lots of work to do and to catch up on.
Until next time.....
