Day 6 - self study

On day 6 I began studying for the Windows 7 certification. More precisely, I'm reading about x86 and x64 architectures, minimum hardware requirements, dual boot and other complicated concepts. I'm turning geek :D

I've also managed to sort of solve my first Outlook 2007 mock case. With lots of help from my buddy, but still :) And I found out that Exchange servers can go down even when you're working for Microsoft :)

In the evening a couple of us went for a drink in Control, where the bartender was particularly generous with the Cachaça in my Caipirinha :)

Since I didn't take any pictures, I'll just post an older picture of my colleague Andrei, who insisted that I make him famous. So this is it. For the girls out there, let me know if you want his phone number ;)) Ok, I'm just kidding :P

Day 4 - start reading

Thursday was my first day of actually working with Outlook 2007. It was fascinating, and I'm not kidding.

Well, Catalin (my buddy) gave me this introductory guide (no less than 1053 pages long) and in about two hours I reached page 18. Yey :P

Besides that, I got my really nice Toshiba laptop, with an equally nice wallpaper:

So, did you know that Outlook 2007 has an overlaying calendars feature, as well as different message templates and an included web browser? :) Me neither :P And I've only reached page 18, imagine what I'm gonna find out next :P

As I have promised, I'm gonna talk a bit about the coolest cubicle ever, that is Nic's cubicle (in the Exchange Team, hi guys!). So there's this helicopter landing on his monitor,

A Boeing 737 cockpit poster, a piece of an engine, some cockpit windows, a couple of triodes (no idea what those are exactly) and some speedometers. Coolness overload :)

In the evening we all went out to have dinner at City Grill, thanks to our lovely team manager, Alina.
