August

This month has been crazy. Every week has been different and there hasn't been such a thing called normal day. I have been full of energy and love, everything is so beautiful. Poland has been so good for me and it hurts to know I have only one month left.

August started with kind of hard week. All the tickets seemed to be stuck in my queue and I had no idea what to do with them. It is frustrating to realize I still need to ask for help. I have been here over 3 months now and I should know more. Luckily my team is always ready to help.

Next week I was working from home. First time in my life. And it was awesome. I was listening music all day, dancing in my own peace without getting any comments from my colleage. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get or make any calls since I was having quite bad cough. It helped me realize how much I use phone in my work. Luckily I still managed to solve some tickets.

After spending one week home almost completely alone I was thrilled to come back to work. I had so much energy and I just wanted to hug everyone at work. Apparently being alone does not suit me that well. Third I just enjoyed being back at the office and having all that energy. On Saturday Kalle came visit me again.

Since Kalle was here the final week of August was full of love. Work days flew by since every day I had something to wait. We visited Gdynia, partied, went to movies, ate well, watch whole season of The Returned.. All the stuff you do with your significant other. It was extremely sad to let Kalle go back. My coworker even said I seemed to be more happy when he was here which of course was true.

This month was pure gold, every week was different and special in its own way. It feels so weird I have only one month left.

Working from home

This week has been one of the weirdest and most exciting weeks here so far. I have gone from hardly breathing to coughing my lungs out, from fever to dancing, from the top to the bottom and back. I was sick second time this summer and this time I walked straight to the doctor's office. You just know when there is something truly wrong.

Result:

14 days of antibiotics

14 days of stomach pills to help with antibiotics

7-10 days asthma inhalator

and whole week sick leave. 

I am not sure what was the diagnose, but the main thing is that I feel much better now. 

Since I was on sick leave, I was forbidden to go to the office even though I wasn't feeling sick. Luckily my awesome team leader helped me to get my laptop at home and set VPN for me. First time in my life I was really working from home and it was exciting and awesome. Music gives completely different vibe for work  and not being able to call customers made work little bit challenging. I never realized how often I call the customers instead of writing to them.

Working from home also meant not being able to ask help so easily which was both good and bad thing. It forced me to try harder on my own, google solutions much more. Sadly it also meant that some cases couldn't be solved right away since my skills aren't good enough. I am still a trainee, three months just isn't enough to learn everything and I have to accept that.

Week 3

Well, I don't have that much to tell about this week since I had my first food poisoning ever (or maybe norovirus) and right after it - flu. I was out of office few days and rest of week little under the weather. I still managed to solve some tickets.

It was weird to be in the office since most of the IT department were in IT forum in Helsinki. There was only max 5 persons at the IT service desk and the mornings were even quieter. Next week we start taking calls which means the practicing is over.

I missed all the exercise this week, but at least I went to see football tournament. It was so much fun to cheer for Kemira Gdansk and actually see how their game got better with fans cheering.

And yeah, this was only in English since nothing actually happened. Enjoy the pictures.
