My Workplace

Every morning, I walk in a big entrance hall. That hall looks like what you see in Japanese trendy dramas. But I won’t fit the scene because I am with a knapsack in my back, a bag on my waist, and a bike helmet on my hand. Anyway, I proceed to my office on the second floor. The office has a brick wall, a high sealing and an art object. In other word, the room has modern atmosphere. Today, my new bike was added among them. The CEO suggested kindly that I could park my bike next to the object.

I am now helping to create the Web version of his back office software. I changed the structure of the database and am now working on converting, testing, and modifying the database so that it works well in the Web environment. My boss is CEO. He gives me my tasks everyday. The same is true for other three interns.

I like to be acquainted with other interns. But in reality, I have not talked a lot with them. I am too shy. In addition, I can do my tasks without talking to them. The reason is that I am the only member of that Web project. I remember Cogan gave us a technique that ensures a successful small talk. Maybe now is the time to use it.

By the way, it was sunny today after work. Today was the precious day to enjoy cycling with the sun. I set my destination Twin Peaks. The trail was a bit hilly but it was fun. Air was cool, shades of trees were nice, and houses were beautiful. The top of the hill was Twin Peaks. Whole San Francisco was there. With office buildings in the center, wharfs, bridges, hills, and beautiful houses were located with a perfect balance. No more, no less. The view was indeed breathtaking. The city must be the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I am sorry that my poor camera skill didn’t allow me to keep the scene precisely in a photo. After staying at the top for a while, I went back home slowly enjoying scenery. However, it was still light when I got home, thanks to summer time.
