After a good few interviews I have landed an internship at Cooke Le fever Architects in Muizenberg. So the daily 8 to 5 routine began and I’m slowly getting into the swing of things…….meaning I ask a little less lol.
New job, new environment, new people and new experiences, one of note is starting to travel by train. It’s a ten minute ride from where I live to get to work and what’s best is getting off onto the station and seeing different hues of sky every morning over the cold sea. Yeah cold just at the sight of it, memory serves me well on the frozen water. Still there are quite a few surfers riding early crashing waves. Black dots far in patiently waiting for that one………..
Muizenberg as I’ve discovered this past month is like a little village and in true small town culture, everybody knows each other so it seems. So my walk down to the office was met with a few stares at the new villager. A minute from the beach, passing the daily corner hangers (beggars), hangers since my morning routines kind of glamorized……….not exaggerated however. Now how’s this for the ‘perfect location, printers on the corner, bakery and coffee shop and finally The Office. Office environment is relaxed, ‘casual’, quaint and pleasant. Friendly, warm people occupy the space and there’s no boss egoJ.
Ok so my daily tasks have been making amendments to council drawings for Westcape housing project. I’ve been to council and site once and did measuring up of a house that will have a loft addition and a few alterations. Doing office admin and just getting accustomed to the daily functions of what brings it all together. At any given time conversations about architecture, music, weekends etc and sometimes concentrated silence and just the click click of the mouse, some days go quick and some slow sigh.
I’m done stressing about getting a job and more preoccupied with getting up to date with my subject work. I feel miles behind but slowly getting it sorted, I prefer to upload it all at once and not in drips and drabs. My design is finally resolved! I can get a bit carried away in the development process…………………
