First days at Google...

The other day I dreamt that I had graduated and got a job with a small communications agency somewhere in the Netherlands who hired me just based on my CV without even interviewing me. I had also decided to move to Enschede, because that was in the middle between my work and my parents and kind of nice and cosy. Already during my dream it dawned on me that these were not really wise choices and I started regretting. I was stuck and very miserable. And then I woke up and realized I was living in Dublin and working for Google :)

I haven't really started working yet because I will be in training until the beginning of June, but I have already learned a lot about my future job...I will be optimizing Adwords campaigns for the German retail market. So I will be looking at numbers and statistics and little Adwords advertisements, reviewing them and creating new and better ones. That is something that can make me very very happy, since it involves numbers and words in the most awesome media context there is right now. I also made some changes to my blog...since I will have a small Adwords-Account for myself I will use it to practice with it, but I decided it needed a relaunch before I can do so. I'll work on that in the next few days, but I am distracted by other things to do at Google, numerous social activities and moving into my apartment. Actually, I will only do that tomorrow, because my shipment from Germany still hasn't arrived. It will come tomorrow at 9.30 (best timing ever), but at least that gives me all weekend to unpack and get settled. Until then, I am staying at the hotel. Which is of course nice and cosy, but most of the other Nooglers have left so it is getting a bit boring and it would be really nice to have more than one room, a kitchen and all my stuff again. Luckily that will all be the case when I wake up on Sunday morning...if it isn't just all a nice dream :D
