About the office

I have already mentioned several times in passing, what offices across on my way. But to begin, perhaps, we should have from the moment when I first went to work, not to study. My first work was the chair of the University. Its place then I have not been. Desk at the Department of luxury, for an assistant - all young people huddled in a small room on the rotation principle, so that normally go in with their programs, I could only in the evening. One outlet - we stood there and let one but the most powerful computer that's connected to the Internet line dvuhmegabitnoy.

Over time, I was offered a place in the same place at the university, but in the CNIT ( Centre for New Information Technologies). We have with my supervisor lived in a small room, where between the tables had to squeeze, but I had my personal desktop and a personal computer on which I created a document management system in our university. Of course, it never was put into effect, and I even think that our department of some stupid laundered budget. Attitude to our department was always a residual, so that as soon as the opportunity to go into private business - I did it.

But even then, I worked at the hospital something enikeyschika and programmer. We occupied a large room with a five-meter ceiling. Our windows looked out on the side where the sun was setting, and the walls were as thick as half a meter. So I was first normal working conditions when compared with the same department, where the windows were on the sunny side, and they had to seal the foil so as not to go crazy from the heat and glare. Awkward situation in the hospital, its distance - walking distance from my apartment that time I was getting to the good weather for 40-50 minutes. Later in the hospital cafeteria was closed and I stopped for dinner. In addition, the women's team - it is always a bundle of emotions that I had to hard to ignore. I did not touch the ladies, grappling with each other about the ' why should I do it '. I did sincerely and all, or simulated employment, learning hdozhestvennuyu literature.

My first and last job was working in the private trader 's leading programmer and then head of web development in the oldest web studio in town. That now they are not the first, and then the company has provided access to the Internet and pile up customers to make sites. The owner of the right caught the trend and began to earn money on the web- building in the era of wild Internet. Despite my position, we all sat in a room twenty meters. Everything - it 2-3 designer, coder and I - Programmer. Tables - the usual desks, set in two rows: DTP we shared the first two tables, the designers took the last three. If a client came to, he could barely stand - the place was very little. We often made the permutation, but then I stupidly set up the tables in a circle and put the dick on the willingness of employees. By the time I survived two of the three designers of stupidity and krivorukost, coder went to Europe, and I led the second programmer. He himself was prepared to do leg.

Your business, I started with 18 -foot room in the office while on the anthill 4 floors with 50 rooms on each. Then greed has forced the owner to finish two more floors at the same park. The main advantage of this building was its central location - just a hundred meters from the regional administration. The building itself looks pretty decent, too. The room was small, but with a hand nesolnechnoy. For the four of us this is more than enough. Especially because while we are almost never met - had to run a lot of different cases.

However, when it was decided to expand expansive, I picked up a second room, leaving the first as the head - had its secretary, senior manager and designer. With the opening of a street point of the designer and my partner moved back closer to the machine, and at the offices of managers were. If in the first office we settled down: The Secretary and I have shared this office desk, custom- made ​​, designer and secretary sitting at a table mounted wood- stove and two corners attached to the wall. At the entrance stood a chic sofa. Moreover, we have just bought a stove and corners - overcame everything else to barter. But a second office was practically naked - we could hardly find chairs and desks to accommodate the crowd of students, who were called upon to make money. There were only two computers, so that the second office was not at all.

The managers ran off, I was on the verge of ' back to the factory ' and refused to second office. I think I even started then to delay payment for the first office. But election technology has allowed to survive and safely pay for office. The more so that the number we had just a great phone 578-900. many envied. And the number and nesolnechnoy side and the normal pay for the office (8.5 thousand. / month. ). However, in the same building for a lot of room to pay a lot less per square meter - were of the contract and for 200-300 rubles, but more on that later, I learned a lot.

Life would not grieve, but I wanted more. And I got it in the literal and figurative sense. As a former dining room at the plant in the city center. Restructuring has forced the plant to take part of the premises, and its position - has always attracted quite a number of tenants. However, we did repair an abandoned dining room, sheathing of gypsum and foam tiles and putting linoleum on the floor. For this we have a moratorium on payment of the semi-.

The new office has never had so many people to say that he was full of. It was originally planned zoning, but it never reached due to lack of funds. This created a problem of the empty center: tables in the center does not deliver, and we set them on the edge of space in various orientations - it always remains at the center of the stain for 30-40 squares. In the end I rode and even spat on the spot on a bicycle. Another drawback was the winter of. Heat the room to 80kv. m. with a six-meter ceilings, even included batteries could not, as in the first year we lived without them - our office is not connected to a stupid heating. The entire staff went to the outer clothing, and breath steaming. Four heater could not provide enough heat. It was useless to complain - until the spring had to live without heat.

At this office, and came a short period of Coworking. I was taking some time part of the premises to another firm, essentially a startup that was the beginning of a large stern male friendship.

The second winter was a bit warmer, and the third went cold again - delivered a wrong fuel and boiler broke down. However, I was preparing to fall down and not too worried about the heat. The more so that two people of such office was not needed. And then there's protection regime and replaced - before I could work at least until one o'clock, and now was forced to get out at 8 pm. This was unacceptable.

Then my companion, with whom I shared an apartment with his girlfriend arrived and I was left alone in a two-bedroom cottage. The last straw was the increase to pay for office almost half, from 22 to 32 thousand. My partner moved out of coworking few months ago, and I began to experience problems with payment - to the accumulation of the required amount by the deadline. So the increase in the price per square meter was beyond my capabilities. And I decided. Moved some furniture in the apartment, part of the distributed, sold a portion of. Agreed with the hostess, she connects anlim, the phone I had a mobile -office, fax phone line missing in the apartment. I began to live and work at home. This led to the resignation of my last secretary. Left me and my manager for clients. But for her work became less and less - I gradually went on the Internet.

Actually, this move, and served as a cause of Satkha. That's when I went on an almost non-stop operation, and there were days when I did not sleep for 2-3 days. Was the cause of psychological jolt? . rubles for the office, a. 5 thousand. on the phone and 5-7 thousand. on the Internet. We can say, I suddenly unexpectedly switched to outsourcing model. It was convenient. for me,.

Since customers have been more difficult. With them now is difficult, although it is now easy to make many of the apartment office for comfort. And then, when I lived in an ordinary crumbling Khrushchev, to explain what and why it was awkward. However, I have always tried to travel to clients to avoid any unnecessary questions.

Business in the apartment? . In the west, is one of the fastest growing trends. I work when I want and what I want. I do not spend time on it to get to the workplace. I call it working, not much I can - this is the place where I enjoy.
