Hello everyone,
It has been long since I wrote my previous
blog. So, here I am writing another blog in which I share my “work from home” experience.
I was in the period of my industrial secondment to Nokia Bell
Labs, Stuttgart when the strict measures to contain COVID-19 were imposed. We
were not allowed to go to office unless it was necessary. But working from home
was something that most of the people are not used to. It was a total surprise
for me. In the beginning days, I had a hard time to push myself out of the bed in
the morning and start working. In addition, I did not have a proper study table
and chair in my room. It was nice that Nokia Stuttgart offered to take laptop accessories
(keyboard, monitor) home for time being. But sooner, I realized that the work
from home scenario will last longer and turned my room into office. Once things
were fixed, I was on my track. Although little disturbances were always there
because of noisy road that goes along my room. Sometimes during the summer, it tested
my patience. I had to attend calls in hot summer with room-window closed to avoid
outside noise.
Although the work form home was not totally negative.
Staying at home had some advantages as well. I could have both meals of the day
up to my taste. And, I had freedom to relax during the day without disturbing my
progress. I preferred going out in the forest during the evening or whenever feel
like.
To keep my progress on track, I had call with
my Nokia-supervisor every morning. I was in touch with Nokia team and TU Delft team
through weekly calls. It was a good experience that staff from TU Delft and
Nokia were listening to our problems considering the pandemic situation and
provided their support. My social life did not have much impact. I stayed in
touch with friends over phone calls.
The positive changes that living in this lockdown
brought to me is that now I keep my room organized in a much better way. Also, the
act of avoiding crowded trains has built a habit of walking/biking to the
office.
