A little about my job :)
So, yeah… I’m sitting behind my desk at work, got not much to do, reading about some ghosts towns in America and writing this post :). What I was going to write about in this post is what do I actually do at my work. Well, to start with, my tasks are:
1. Translation of texts sent to me. These are mostly e-mails but there was one time when I had to translate the whole contract, which was extremely difficult and to tell the truth I failed translating it. But to be honest I’ve no idea what was that for because the manager gave this contract to sworn interpreter and I bet he/she understood what was this contract about, because I, even after translating it into Polish, had no idea what was it about :P.
2. The second thing I do is preparing and accommodation, full board and transport for the people who are coming here for the whole week that are working on the project. Once I almost screwed up when I forgot to tell a driver that one of our guests is leaving earlier. So the great problem occurred because we didn’t have a driver. The guy from transport said that he has a car, but all drivers are out. I had to do something fast so I called my bro, told him to come here as fast as he can, we took the car and went to the airport. I was lucky, because he had to go to Poznań Ławica thankfully because if it was Berling Schonefeld I’d be in a deep sh****. We go there on time, he got his plane so the problem was solved, but I nearly got a heart attack :).
3. The third thing that I was given to do is to make sure that people who should be on workshops will be there. My task is to send an e-mail to everyone, make sure they read the invitation, and if they can show up. I’m not sure if I’m the right person but I had nothing to say. Fortunately, all the workshops star next month so I still got the time to learn how to do it :).
So this is what I do (or not). There are day I’ve got lot to do, but there are days like today, that there isn’t much to do. Of course it might change, because it’s 11:00 but right now I’m bored :P. At 12 there’s a lunch, so after the lunch time goes a bit faster :).
To tell the truth I like my job and it’s not that I don’t do much (OK that’s one of the reasons ;]) but it’s because it may give me opportunities for the future. Even if I don’t stay there longer than half a year I will be able to write into my CV that I worked in a good company.
