My third and fourth week at bomax cant really be called a week with all the public holidays, but we did manage to fit work in here and there.
I finally finished off the entrance working drawings and details of House Parker, which Mr. and Mrs Parker now decides that it looks to expensive and want to go with the cheaper option, (after they said they wanted something nicer! now they say they don't have money, and then they rather put more marble in there bathroom).
After house Parker i then went back onto Oceana joinery details and layouts. Processing them as they are coming in from Collaboration who received the tender for the joinery, and then preparing and issuing construction drawings to site, where the contractors are waiting for the information to continue with there work. So it is an on going domino effect of people waiting for the others to do there work in order for others to do there's.
House Joubert Having the same problem, i started the electrical switch reference layout with the information we have received from Switchgear, the company that has the electrical tender. Then after completing the plan layouts we decided that a schedule is needed for the contractor to distinguish the plugs from, seeing as the information from switchgear is unclear. But being that the info is so unclear i could not complete the drawings until they clarify the uncertainties. So once again it is one party waiting for the other to complete there job, so we can do ours.

Entrance!
The second week at bomax started off realy nice, then became a total stressfull blur. i started with some more nice work on the Oceana project, doing some more joinery and partition and shopfront glass details for construction, then when wednessday came, it brought on the stress.
House Parker and his entrance layout detail drawings, i have been working on them steadily and contiuosly since wed. and it is monday and i am still busy and it needs to be issued tomorrow for construction. I planned on working at home tonight, but my laptop is still not ready for me yet so i have to go in early tomorrow morning and try and do all the changes, thats all i have been doing is changes.
I must say that i am having alot of fun working on it, and learning alot on revit and generaly. I have never worked on such modern stuff before with water features and everything.
I cant wait to see what i get to do next, so i can now say with confidence that working at bomax will be interesting, and an exciting year of learning.

bomax.
Ok, my first week at bomax architects and i quite enjoyed it. back in the game and ready to win the race, I was pro-active and quite busy, and was happy to be doing some work again.
Started monday morning, we had a monday morning meeting, where they went through all the current projects and what stages they are in at the moment and where i can help. They decided that at the moment Riaz has the most hectic deadlines and i should help him.
The company consists of the Bossman Dion Max Walters, his secratary/PA/admin./everything Natalie, Brad an architect, Riaz snr technologist, and now me, student. A Workforce of five, but are currently looking for another student.
After the meeting i just got there and jumped right in and started working. It was exciting, because the first project i am working on is "Oceana" that is the Thomas Pattullo building, our tech building and the one next door, at the moment we are just working on the one next door, our building will start construction once the developers give the go-ahead. So in some way i still feel connected to tech. lol.
I stared the HUGE schedule for the three top office floors and i dont think i ever seen or had to draw that many doors and glass shopfronts for the offices. I mean i have done schedules before but not to that extent! I finished it on tue. because there are tight deadlines with that project at the moment and they needed it for the meeting, and the meeting brought more work. So wednesday i had to start with the joinery on all three floors and the information they send us comes in drips and drabs, so we keep having to change things, not to mention the amount of times they change there minds, what to omitt what not to omitt and to add new. That kept me Quite busy the rest of the week, and now its friday and i think we are ontop of it. UNTIL something happend, i dont know what i did but i just lost the whole 7th floor... and i dont know what to do, how do i tell them.... my heart was pounding in my chest, into my throat, i swear if i smoked, i would have lit a cigi to calm my nerves.. when Riaz asked me if i printed it already i told him... he said its gone, i had draw the whole thing over. Then he said his only joking, they have back-ups. aaaaarrrww, releaved, but heart still pounding. I was to scared to even touch the computer after that.
But all in all a gud first week at bomax and being in Town again and i only expect it to get better. I wonder what is instore for me next week... I like the people, they are fun, interesting, helpfull, friendly and a bit crazy, i like crazy. I guess Tanya is right architecture does make you crazy, or maybe just a bit loopy, not completly off the deep end.

OK SO IM BACK IN THE GAME.
Ok so its friday and i start a new job on Monday , after two weeks at home wondering what the heck i am going to do, where am i going to work, and scouting for interviews. I am finally settled and starting at Bomax architects.
I could not decide which company to go with, because i origanally went back to KMH to ask them if their offer still stood. they said yes they would take me on even though they dont realy have work for me at the time. Then a few days later bomax calls and says i should come in to meet the director and he offers me the position and they have work for me and they need me. So inevitably i went where i was need, and i went to Bomax.
So there is not much else to say at the moment except that i am nervous scared and excited to go and start at a new company all over again, SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, IM BACK IN THE GAME, and starting this race all over again. Chat again soon.
