An unexpected Friday. Hello people from the world. I just want to write about my last week which starts on monday morning with my boss saying "Good day Young man, did you notice it's 8:10? (I suppose to arrive to work at 8 o'clock) , then I saw him and said to him "Sorry I lost my bus and It's just ten minutes". I sat down and check my email for something interesting, but nothing. The same people saying same stupid and repetitive things like "Hello, I need you to do this task that I cannot to do but you are good enough" or "Hello, There are troubles with some server or some app" (troubles easily repairable but It seems like people are happy with me fixing their troubles). Finally my week ends on friday afternoon. I bought a pack of chocolate cookies and I decided to walk without course. Suddenly my phone rang, It was an unknown number on the screen. I said "alo" (It's the way people in my country answer phone calls). It was an Amazon recruiter asking me for an interview in english in that moment. I just got panic but I said, "It's alright, give a few minutes I'll go to a coffe shop because I'm in middle of the street", then the recruiter said "Ok I'll call you in a few minutes". Few minutes later the recruiter call me and she told me about job position, benefits , salary and other amazing things (It was amazing because I could understand at least 90% of what she told me). I said It's an awesome opportunity and I would be happy to be part of the process". She asked me some technical qustions about servers, cloud, coding and other common topics in my job. I answered each question and she told me "Ok, you are approved for second interview, please check you email frequently for a face to face interview next week" and the phone call ends. Now I am really anxious and excited about next week. Greeting from Colombia.

An unexpected Friday.

Hello people of the world.

I just want to write about my last week which starts on monday morning with my boss saying "Good day young man, did you notice it's 8:10? (I am/was supposed to arrive at work at 8 o'clock). Then I saw him and said to him "Sorry I missed my bus and It's just ten minutes". I sat down and checked my email for something interesting, but nothing. The same people saying the same stupid and repetitive things like "Hello, I need you to do this task that I cannot to do but you are good enough" or "Hello, There are troubles with some server or some app" (troubles easily repairable but It seems like people are happy with me fixing their troubles).

Finally my week ends on friday afternoon. I bought a pack of chocolate cookies and I decided to walk without course. (This is grammatically correct. It isn't a natural sentence but actually does sound quite good, at least to me!) Suddenly my phone rang, It was an unknown number on the screen. I said "alo" (It's the way people in my country answer phone calls). It was an Amazon recruiter asking me for an interview in english in that moment. I just got panicked, but I said, "It's alright, give a few minutes I'll go to a coffe shop because I'm in middle of the street", then the recruiter said "Ok I'll call you in a few minutes". A few minutes later the recruiter called me and she told me about job position, benefits , salary and other amazing things (It was amazing because I could understand at least 90% of what she told me). I said It's an awesome opportunity and I would be happy to be part of the process". She asked me some technical qustions about servers, cloud, coding and other common topics in my job. I answered each question and she told me "Ok, you are approved for a second interview, please check you email frequently for a face to face interview next week" and the phone call ends.

Now I am really anxious and excited about next week.

I sat down and checked my email for something interesting, but nothing. The same people saying same stupid and repetitive things like "Hello, I need you to do this task that I cannot to do but you are good enough "you can" would also work instead of good enough" or "Hello, There are troubles with some server or some app" (troubles easily repairable but It seems like people are happy with me fixing their troubles).
