Blog 8 - Mi job

Five years ago, my father had many financial troubles, he lost his job and his debts, were growing day by day. On this time, I was in the third year of college, when all these things were happening, this situation was very disturbing to me, because by the finantial troubles of my father, maybe, I could have to stop to study. Then I took a decision, I needed a job.
I began to search jobs in supermarket, partime jobs or somethings, when a friend called me to give me a contact for a best job, conducting surveys in a marketing agency. On the one hand it was a good job, I liked it, I was freelance in the agency, my working hours was free and I had the liberty to organize my time, but on the other hand the job had a problem, I had no contract, I had no insurance. For these reasons, in the next year I changed my work, I searched and searched in many places, but I could not found nothing, then a friend called me, one more again, and gave me a contact for a best job, in a computer technical support.
I started on this job in march 19, 2007 to now, I have a lot of experience on all the different departaments and sections, really I could not imagine that this work, would become so important in my life, or in better words so important for develop my economic independence. Now, I pay my college, I have a car, a bank account, credits cards and all the things that I want to buy, I buy it by myself.
It is great!

My favorite piece of technology =)

My favorite piece of technology is my notebook. Fifteen years ago, I started with a

desktop pc, but seven or eigth years later, I could buy my first notebook.The reason for change is very easy to explain, for my career, I need to take my work to different places, but finding pc's  for public use was very difficult.

This technological advancement made my job easier, because I could download programs from the Internet, especially designed for writing music, and listen to an approximation of the piece, an approximation of the sound, the laptop allowed me  listen to the full orchestra, or only some instruments in my arrengements.

Other aplications, allows me to communicate with relatives or teachers who are abroad, let me write post in forums, comment on web pages, see facebook of my friends, upload videos of interest. I have also a virtual storage in which I have photos, videos, music, jobs.

I use it daily and I have to keep an eye on my email, because it can have interesting lectures or classes. I consider important too, see daily my calendar of events, keep me informed of news online, remind me activities, dates with my boyfriend and meetings with classmates. I thought about changing my notbook for something smaller and lighter, a notebook meets all the characteristics, especially for taking notes, ideas, or anything that I can imagine in anyplace.
