First week of job was all good.
I drew a couple of simple details and was asked to alter some drawings. My knowledge of Autocad upped and I was also asked to re-introduce myself to Sketchup (I had only used it once before). They had me build a model of a proposed building in Town which was fun. I've been placed under control of Alayne, who is working on a mall in Swellendam, so the drawings I've done are all part of that project.
The office is pleasant and peaceful - a huge change from my previous work situation where I had to run around and deal with many people with many questions. I feel like I fit in because the general vibe suites mine very well and I get along easily with everyone. Maybe it's too early, but as I consider my career, I get the feeling that I could easily spend it in such an environment.
Had a good weekend in Betty's Bay. Rested. Lets go week 2...
It's Getajob-Friday!!!
I wasn't sure that I was going to have anything significant to post today because until 5min ago I was unemployed. So now there is news.
Went for an interview at Boogertman & Partners yesterday. They are a large firm with offices in Bellville, Jo'burg, Pretoria and Durban. The Cape Town/Bellville office where I am going to be working from Monday has a staff of 12 (I'm lucky 13). I had the chance to introduce myself to one of the partners, Stephen Whitehead. We had a leisurely chat for almost an hour about the projects they're doing this year, what the student position entails, mutual acquaintances (old lecturers of mine) and a variety of related topics. It looks to be the perfect place for any student to learn about the business. The office is situated in Tygerberg Office Park, just above the N1 on Tygerberg Hill.
I've got a job in an office with a panoramic view of the Cape and I hope I develop a similar perspective of the business of architecture through my time there.
It's weekend. I'll be looking for a wave to suite my mood and I'll find some friends to help me celebrate.
