The second face of Peter, your Zumba teacher
Well, we know ourselves for almost three years but have you ever wondered who I am? We meet regularly, talk, gossip, dance and in general just have fun. What happens before and after the Zumba Gold class? In this short article, I will tell you the secret.! ?
Unfortunately, life is more than just dancing, I do the shopping, pay taxes as you do. That’s why I need a regular job. Most of you are on retirement – you are rich and happy then. XD
Before Covid19 epidemy, I always woke up at 7:00 AM and drove to the office located behind Bonarka shopping mall. I opened my laptop, checked new emails, had some tee and breakfast with my workmates. I started official duties usually at 9:00 AM. Now I mostly do the same tasks however I work from home.
But what do I actually do? I am a business analyst. OMG, what does it mean? Basically, my role is solving other people’s problems. ? Could I be more specific? Of course! My whole team creates special computer software called robots. We do robots. A robot is a computer program simulating human behaviour. If human moves a mouse, the robot simulates mouse movement. Robots are virtual – they’re installed on servers and helping people with repetitive and boring tasks like basic accounting, accounts clearing or creating reports.
In the whole process of building a robot there are many people involved. I am responsible for gathering expectations from people who would like to buy a robot. Secondly, I check if it is technically possible to create one. If so, I do the technical documentation to make sure none of the business requirement is omitted. The next step of the process is negotiating the deal with a potential customer and a developer. We want our customers to pay as much as possible and our developers work as little as possible. Time is money, isn’t it? My last but for sure not least responsibility is being a single point of contact for any issue connected with a robot. Whatever happens I need to take care of my customer and try to solve their issue.
Do I like this job? Of course, I do. Mostly because of my workmates and my customers. I like talking with people and helping to solve their problems. It makes me feel better when I know I do something useful for someone.
At 4:30 PM I close my laptop and get ready for the Zumba Gold class or have some fun watching funny cats videos on YouTube or some Netflix shows. So that’s how my regular day looks like. What’s at weekends? You may read it in the next article!
