For take your kids to work day, my mom and I went to North Vancouver in order to get to an Apartment complex in which housed one of my mom’s clients. To start the day off she contacted the templater and tiler to figure out how much tile was needed and where they would be put. After we went to a house in surrey to measure and find out how the kitchen was going to look with new tiles.
What did you hear, see, smell, and feel in the work environment on Nov. 1st?
At my mom’s workplace, I smelt drywall, felt cold, and saw contractors and scalers around an apartment. I found this cool because it was very different from my house and seeing how one was built is interesting to me.
- What about the environment would motivate you to wake up every day to attend work?
The views that my mom and I got to see were very astonishing, and waking up to go to work with a beautiful sunrise is something that would motivate me to wake up.
- What about the work environment would discourage you from waking up every day to attend work?
There was a lot of standing around waiting for contractors to finish taking notes. This is discouraging because it feels like I would be wasting time almost every day waiting for someone else to do their job so I could start mine.
- What is ONE thing you found interesting about your workplace visit?
One thing I found interesting is the number of steps used to build a house. This is interesting because I thought a house took a year to make and that was it but never really understood how it was being done.
