This will be your day
8:00 You start the week full of enthusiasm. After a cup of coffee with your colleagues, you get to work. You set your deliverables for the week and block off some time for ad hoc tasks. You're actively working on two projects, which gives you a lot of energy! 10:00 You dive back into your project, where you're already in the final phase of the design concept. Today, you're preparing a presentation for the client to showcase the progress and the final design. 13:00 After your lunch break and a walk outside with your colleagues, you continue working on your project. A meeting is scheduled to hand off parts of your project to your colleagues in hardware engineering. They'll take over the specifications. 15:00 You receive a call from the shop floor regarding one of your projects. Since you're the Engineer, you naturally act as an advisor and help your colleagues on the shop floor solve problems and ultimately deliver a fantastic machine! 16:30 Time flies! It's already 4:30 PM! You wrap up the day and shut down your laptop. You head home feeling satisfied.
