Today at work I did a ton of things. From the three days attending work, this one was the most active, due to the fact that I was occupied all day.
I started by correcting quickly the document I had translated. We didn't correct it step by step, Veronica just did a quick look up and I went directly to my next work, which had to be done in the computer. I learned how to use WE TRANSFER. We transfer is a program used to transfer files to other people, no matter where they live. What I did, was separate the pictures, description, and floor plans, in one same folder for two different projects metropolis had developed. The whole |
idea was to sent this folder to a client in China, who was asking for the residential projects done by metropolis. Even though the transferring takes about 1 entire day to get send, I was impressed by the simple and easy process you had to follow to sent a huge project to another country.
Afterwards, I started the Facebook page. Im already an admin of it, and for today I only submitted the album of ALTOMAYO, due to the fact that Jose Orrego had only checked that sequence of images. Next week, I will definitively be able to submit all the pictures into the Facebook page, and be authorized to modify and erase any extra pictures, or extra information that is useless. Also, in order to market Metropolis the best way I can through social media, I decided to look up for some appealing Facebook pages that could be somewhat imitated.

SOME IDEAS THAT MIGHT HELP ME CHANGE THE IMAGE OF METROPOLIS↴
Finally, because Jose had to live and I couldn't continue working on the Facebook page, I asked Veronica if I could help her with something else. She told me to help her with autoCAD, a program used by architectures, at least in Metropolis, to work on their projects and develop their ideas. What I had to do, was basically save as PDF's some of the floor plans of projects, to have them in the hard drive of Metropolis. In order to save the floor plans as PDF's, I had to work in the program by selecting several pieces that were not useful. In other words I had to modify some of the projects already created in order to have the correct image of the floor plan as a PDF. At first I was scared because he program was extremely complicated and professional, but once Veronica explained me how to use it, I became a MASTER, at least in the basic steps. I had a lot of fun doing this activity because since I got here I was curious about the program, how they used it, and why it was so important. I finally understood. | |
Lessons from the day

Organization Organization is not only a vital skill in ones life, but also a really important one in business. In order to have everything done on time, you need to plan your schedule and your projects very well. However, today I learned a different type of organization, organization when working. Here in Metropolis, everyone works with the same program, autoCAD. When I was working in modifying some of the floor plans, Veronica constantly came an helped me. While she was explaining me what I had to do, she had to fix a lot of things that where out of place. Since it wasn't her work, instead someone else's project, she was really confused because there were useless pieces all around the program, and the image was really crowded. This is exactly when organization comes in. You always need to maintain an order in your working space, because when it is time for someone else to check it, you can't expect that they will understand your mess. It is important to keep in mind that because in business projects rotate around the company, you should follow a certain format that is comfortable to you, as well as easy for others to comprehend. | Teamwork Teamwork is crucial in every single business. The great fact about working in an office, and not by yourself, is that when you face any problem or difficulty you know that there is someone else available to help you. As well, it is extremely important to work as a team in order to be successful. Since everyone represents one specific company, when you fulfill a clients need, and give them what they ask for, it not only benefits yourself, but as well the whole image of the company. That's the reason why, when someone fails, you always no that there's someone supporting you. In the case of Metropolis, teamwork is something Iv'e seen since I got to the office. Even though everyone works by themselves, in their own computer, periodically I see people asking for help, ideas, or any suggestions to improve their project. Since two brains work better than one, it is important to ask for others opinion, and make sure that someone else also likes the idea you have. In architecture (I've seen teamwork in this field), everyone is helping each other either with ideas, constructive criticism, or any problems they are facing with the program. It is incredible how teamwork can change completely the environment of an office. |
