Today I shall start my part time job as an assistant for a product analysis and designer in the Mechanical Team of Nokia Ulm, Germany. (A position I made up, but I think my real position is much fancier).

Assistant sounds really gay, sorta like his bitch or something. Well, sorry to disappoint you, I’m not, you sadist. Well part of my mission, should I accept it (that’s lame), is to evaluate the design of a part (mostly mechanisms and covers) of mobile phones through the use of CAD (Computer Aided Design, for all you engineering challenged folks out there) tools and software.

This isn’t my first time working there though. I did a 6 months internship there in 2005, but the position wasn’t really demanding. Just had to prepare testing jigs for prototyping and measurements.

So I just sit at my workstation (where work stops, get it, sorta like a bus station where the bus stops… hehe, snort) and act busy. Cool job huh?

However, I’m really grateful to have a position which interests me a great deal. It’s product design and technology and gadgets. Hmm… I wonder how can I incorporate video games in it? Also it’s relevant to my field of study, loafing around drinking coffee engineering.

Plus, I get to have cool phones way before it gets to the market. And the pay helps too. And money is always welcome. Always

So, why the “sort of” in the title? Well, due to the amazing wonders of German efficiency during the Christmas holidays, my account for the workstation is still not processed. Hence the cause and effect phenomenon of no workstation, no work.

Loafing in front of computer

In conclusion, here I am loafing around and drinking coffee…only at home.
