Technology...IT...HP...

I am still wondering, what am I doing @HP???
Really...

Everybody around me is an IT expert, IT specialist, IT genius...or at least know everything about lap tops, headsets, pixcels, and the other words I do not even know...
It's strange...

Specially, when you have to order a headset for yourself...and you have to choose the best...

Why did they give me this task???

ok, no complaining...it's a challenge...and it is just about a headset..at least I know what it is...

And, the IT helpdesk already knows my voice,and nowadays, always when I would like to talk to him, he is always away, busy, out of the office... Strange, isn't it?

Technology...yeah.. on Wednesday we had a telephone conference, on the net!!!
With Netmeeting...:)
That was sooo greeaaat!!!

Previously, I got an email, with all the instructions I should do (really, for dummies: dial 0, than dial 33523257, then press 2, than wait till..., than..)
So it was easy to install the whole process...

But of course, it's me.. so.. nothing is easy for me... :)

Still, it's really cool, we have the opportunity to see i.e. an italian employee's desktop, and if he gives us the right to control his lap top, we can even write on his lap top in Italy, form Switzerland, form my desk...
Cool...amazing...

Of course, we were totally shocked, and excited about all this, told it to our boss as well, and he just: "Oh, yes..that's HP...the best technology, the best ever..."

(ok, maybe know I broke some blogging rules accoriding to HP Standard of Businees Conduct...:)) )

But still, really, if we have all these brand new technlolgy, internet, everything, we do not need to go TO the office, we can easily work from home...
I can see that in the future...and I don't like it...
no personal relationship, just contact via net, writing, no real meetings...

Maybe I am too traditional, not openminded enough, or maybe it is because of my lack knowledge of IT...but still...

Anyway...

Yesterday, we had a BBQ party!!! :))))

It was very very great!!!
The food, the people, the environment, the drinks, the people...!!! :)))

Here are some pictures:







Ok,the last one was the toilett...but the main thing is the wallpaper!!!
The whole house was an antic style house...but wonderful! and the garden...wow...

The best was the key in the toilet...but no photo about it... :)

So, everybody is asking me, what am I doing @HP...
Well...the whole department, where I am doing my internship is about to change...to change as a whole, people are leaving, new are coming (Peter and myself)...the whole system, how they worked before my boss came, was totally different, what my boss now wants...Actually, there is only 1 person who knows the whole process from the begining til the end, and that will be my task to follow up, to understand, to document this proccess, and the main part is to find out a tool, a system, how to communicate this whole process... It is actually very interesting, because the planing has just started, so now I can influence from the begining, and see everything...
BUT.. it is not really a financial job...

My other task will be more operational...we are colllecting datas from all over Europe, Middle East and Africa...I have to collect them as well - from our partners, employees, everybody - than play with them - structure them, a little analyse as well, but the biggest part of that will be Peter's job. He will do more technical job, delaing with excell, with metrics, and d osome simulations, forecast...
Well, his job is more financial... :(

So, basicly, Knowledge mmanagement, and Data management is my job...
sounds interesting... :S

Ok, I didn't expect to be a manager, or a decisionmaker, but still... yeah, it is an internship...

but so far, I like it... there are also other traniees at the company, so, networking is working :)

This week was about learning, get to know the company a little, do some trainings (well, american style...international company...training about the Standard Business Conduct, IT security, Health... "intersting" but usefull topics...)
And form tuesday we can start working...:)FINALLY!!!! Yeaaahhh
