you make a living by what you get, but you make a life what you give.


my first day...

I was 5 minutes late, but Kneil was I think 10. And he said front of everybody that I was running he saw me. Thanks Kneil… At least I tried to be not very late. Anyway, how am I feeling now? . I just a little bit dissapointed. Working is not having fun. It was very hard. We typed text during the whole day. I can’t even see the screen, so I’m going in a minute away from the laptop. I hate screens. Really. I realized today that I can’t sit for more than an hour. I have to rescue myself out of the building. And the typing made me so angry and my fingers were annoying me! I’ve never felt that before. I tried to say ohh it’s the second page calm down viola. I was thinking of running away after the first page. The last page was the longest one. I went to the toilet twice. But our supervisor gave us a coffe and a tea. Everything is very friendly there. I really hope, that we’re not going to sit front of the computer tomorrow. And mainly not TYPING!

my first impression

I went for an interview in the morning with Kneil. I was so excited and also nervous. I thought I will be late and I just prayed: Please no no. I printed out my Cv just before I went. I met Kneil front of the Palingswick House at 9.45 I was hoping that he’s coming and I was so happy when I saw him. Whatever will happens I’m not alone.- I thought. after that Straight away to the office. We met a man, who was really nice with us. Asked some question and told us that our supervisor is coming back. And after… after uncomfortable silences. I was afraid of speaking. Really. I wanted to ask, but I just smiled and looked around. There were sitting three foreign people. I have noticed that they probably from somalia or something Africa. They were working on computers, but maybe just playing. I didn’t really relaise what kind of website they are on. After that he came. He is nice. And he has got a sense of humor, and it scared us  a little bit. when he said: what are you doing here. who are you… but after we  undorstood he was jokking.

I hope everything’s gonna be alright.

I will try to do my best.
