It has been months since we started this blog, and Ely and I have never written about our jobs. So here I am, describing what I do on my work days...
As a Civil Engineer, I basically design structures,but it's just one of the many duties I have in the office. Sometimes I also prepare architectural projects, mainly for infrastrucures, but also houses/villas and some restorations of historical buildings. Moreover I follow all the the managerial part of the construction sites we are responsible for all over the region. The project menagement is my favourite part of the job, as you have to go on the sites where we build, directing the works and making the point on the progresses, choosing the best solutions for technological or architectural problems. Sometimes it is difficult, but challenging. Almost you don't remain for hours in front of a computer, as I am doing lately...and probably for rest of the next winter. In fact the winter season, expecially for the low temperatures, is mostly dedicated to stay in office, designing new projects and making "indoor" managment!
I work from Monday to Thursday 8-12.30 and 14-18.30 and Friday morning 8-12. It happens that most of the times I have to stay extra time to finish works as we have frequent deadlines.It has been 2 years since I have started to work in this office, and I must say that I have learned a lot, expecially thanks to my boss who tought me a lot...Basically I do what I have studied for, but I am not sure it will be a work for life. I think I would like to try something more dynamic, more creative...and...why not? Maybe have an experience abroad. Any ideas, guys?
Maybe a lemonade kiosk on a tropical beach!!! (^_^)
My contract expires at the end of 2008...so I have time to think about it!

Fun Mario! Perhaps I'll do a blog entry about MY work. It's nice to see what it is that you're doing...looks cool to me!
I must admitt, I'd prefer NOT to go into an office everyday. I'm thinking of starting a buisness with a friend..making handcrafted goods, teaching quilting, etc. We shall see!
