Like most I came back to work on the 5th and after 2 days and this morning I can report that it’s quiet, we’re talking less than 10 a day. I’m not worried as such but certainly bored.
On the plus side I’ve been able to do more and more PHP/MySQL programming which I’m confident will be a huge help come October. I’m thinking I might try some Java as well. I’m expecting more in the final year and so it’d be a good idea to keep it on the brain. Talking of the final year things are rolling nicely work wise and hopefully soon I’ll have a good idea of what shape my project will take.
I’ve just realised I didn’t get around to writing that review of my first 5-6 months working at HP but to be honest I’m not too sure what I’d write about. Sure I’ve learnt and got experience with some HP toys (servers, blades, ProCurve switches) and got to use the HP learning ‘stuff’ but other than that, I’m not too sure what else. Working in an office environment isn’t new to me as it might be to some interns and apart from the longer coffee breaks here is much the same as anywhere else.
Sigh, back to the programming.
