A cake to celebrate efficiency

I started analyzing the data from the reports discussed in my last post. I will be spending the next few weeks looking for trends and writing a report about my findings. This is more difficult than my first assignment because I don't have a specific goal I'm working to achieve, but rather, I am trying to identify new patterns and trends that have not already been discovered by the BA's. I am starting to work with new tools that help me make sense of all the statistics, which will take me a couple more days to get used to.

Overall, I am really happy with the team I work with; they won an award for being the most efficient team and meeting their deadlines last month. To commend their work, the company bought us a cake, and we took our last hour of work off on Tuesday to celebrate. I made a toast to the team, sarcastically explaining, "I'm sure you guys already know that you wouldn't have won without me, but there is no need to thank me ... you're all welcome." Despite being hard workers, everyone has a sense of humor and we are always joking with each other. I could not have asked for better teammates to work with.

This weekend I will pay a visit to the salt mines and go hiking/camping in the mountains about an hour away. They are both a must-see in Poland, so I'm looking forward to tonight when I make my departure from the city.
