"I spy with my little eye" - summary of April at Merixstudio

Merixstudio's most #instagramworthy moments of April

1. Japanese film education
3. As usual Wiesiek does not dissapoint! His #GeekShirtFriday really stole our hearts - it's impossible to not love #totoro! #myfriendtotoro #tonarinototoro #geek #geekshirt #softwarehouse #poznan

5. You can always relay on Wiesiek, not only when it comes to great code, but also in the matter of geeky t-shirts! This time his shirt was awesome AND educational - we were able to broad our knowledge of Japanese cinematography. Wiesiek without a single word and simply by walking around the office recommended not one, but four films - Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away: In the Land of the Gods, My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle. We are starting to suspect that there is no bigger fan of Japanese films than he is, at least in the whole Poznan! With that said, there is nothing left for us to do but to watch those films- of course after working hours!
6. There are no glass ceilings on the football pitch
8. Sorry, Borussia fans, Jadzia will not pick you team the nect time she plays #fifa! #lunchbreak #office #friday #games #football #girlgamer #softwarehouse #poznan

10. Who says girls can't play games? Certainly not someone who knows Jadzia, the Content Manager of Godealla! Jadzia is the person you want to meet when you have a bad day - just few minutes of conversation and you will have a great mood for the rest of the day. As you can see in the video, you have to work really hard to upset her - such trifle as the score of the game has no effect on her mood. Unfortunately for Borussia Dortmund, after this match they won't probably be her best friends. Although, we suspect that Jadzia will not be able to hold grudges for a long time.
11. No day can be bad when you have cake
13. As probably in many offices, in Merixstudio everyone who has birthday brings something #sweet to share with cooworkers. Today it was time for Paweł to fatten us a little bit - happy brithday! #birthday #office #officelive #monday #goodstart #softwarehouse #poznan #poznandev

15. Oh boy, people of Merixstudio really love sweets! Despite the fact that we always have fresh fruits in our kitchen, those healthy snacks are not even close to attracting as many people as cakes, candies and donuts do! Probably that's why no one is surprised that we are celebrating every birthday with those delicious goodies, which have tendencies to magically disappear long before lunchtime. This time the birthday boy Paweł, who is a part of our Django Team, treated us with his homemade cakes. As it turns out, programming is only just one of his many talents - everything was delicious!
16. Do you even learn, bro?
18. Tidy #code is a sacrosant (or croissant as somebody would say - @brodaczgotuje 😉). Everybody knows that! This is why Jacek was talking about #BEM methodology today. As you can see everybody was impressed! 😃 #internalcourse #learningatwork #softwarehouse #meeting #office #wow #goodteacher

20. By now the number of workshops that we organize in our office should not surprise anyone - the list of topics for discussion is never-ending. This time Front End Developer Jacek talked with our Project Managers about the BEM methodology. Jacek also have had the opportunity to describe the organization of CSS on our blog, but as you can see Piotrek did not read his article very carefully - the speech bubble speaks for itself.
21. You have my bow, my axe and my... inflatable sword?
23. Sometimes you get tired of waiting for the weekend and go start killing people to pass some time. #office #friday #fridayatwork #softwarehouse #poznan

25. Fridays at work during springtime can be quite difficult. The sun is shining, birds are chirping and all tasks are already done, but there is still some time before going home. Anita evidently had enough of this madness and decided to take matters into her own hands and fight the boredom. Let me just make it clear - no employee of Merixstudio was harmed during this, either in physical or emotional way (but better don't try it at home - let's leave it to professionals). :)
26. Not inviting pets to the office would be barking mad
28. #sayhello to Rojber! In Polish his name means little #imp and #urchin. We must admit this name is perfect for this vigorous #doggy! We have the impression that the office is full of #jackrussell! Rojber is here, there, and everywhere 😆🐶 #dogattheoffice #workingdog #instadog #dogoftheday #dogofinstagram #fridayattheoffice #softwarehouse #rojber

30. Every Friday with pets in Merixstudio is definitely the coolest days of the month - it's even better than Pizza Day! This time it was Monika's roommate who graced us with his presence. Supposedly Rojber (loosely translated as Urchin) is the perfect personification of his name - we all heard the rumors about half-eaten sunglasses or many other adventures of this furry ball of energy. However, we couldn't find anything to support those accusations - in our opinion Rojber is an exemplary young gentleman who deserved all the petting and scratching behind the ear he received (and there were a lot of those). Rojber, don't hesitate to swing by our office again!
31. Project Managers on the stake out for new trends
33. The New Trends in Project Management is about to start and as you can see Kamil and Maciek are quite happy about it! Guys, make a lot of notes, you will have to share with us what you have learned! ;) #pmi #ntpm #conference #projectmanagement #softwarehouse

35. Being a Project Manager requires constant learning. With help come conferences, which not only offer interesting lectures, but also inspiring talks on the sidelines. For this reason Maciek and Kamil didn't hesitate for a long time when they were presented with the opportunity to go to Gdynia, where the New Trends in Project Management conference took place. It sounds like a perfect place for them to be, doesn't it? Our representatives came back to the office with an armful of notes and heads full of good ideas. In addition to the newly acquired knowledge, they also found a moment to go to the seaside (which of course did not make us jealous AT ALL, not even a tiny bit). Soon you will be able to read about their experiences from Gdynia on our blog - keep an eye out for more information on our Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin!
36. Mini-Pyrkon in our office
38. It's like we are having our own #Pyrkon in the office! #cardgame #lunchbreak #officelife #gamers #softwarehouse #poznan

40. In Merixstudio you will never have a problem with finding a companion to play card games - every day at noon you can meet our colleagues during their lunch&games breaks. But it's not so common to se as many people playing at the same time! We suspect that all of this was caused by Pyrkon (fan convention that was organised in Poznań during this month) - nothing encourages people to play more games than spending three days with cosplayers!
41. Sharing is caring
43. Yesterday we posted on our blog the summary of Adam's presentation on #AKAICamp. Check it out and find out what you should know about #Symfony2 (link in the bio) #softwarehouse #poznan #webdevelopment #backend #Symfony

45. People from Poznań are probably well aware of AKAICamp, a series of training courses and workshops organized by the Academic Club of Web Application. We could not refuse when Grzesiek invited the Leader of our PHP Team to share his extensive knowledge on Symfony2 with student. Do you want to learn more about what he have said? No problem! All you have to to is check out the blogpost he've written on our blog.
46. A bit of snooping never hurt nobody
48. Say hello to our visitor, Zuza! She is still in high school, but there is never to early to start wondering about career path! We are showing Zuza what responsibilities she might have if she wants to work in #softwarehouse. Maybe in a few years she will have a desk of her own in our office, who knows... #career #poznan #officelife #office #poznandev

50. Our office can be considered as open for visitors. We of course do not limit our guest list to only pets - felines, though great, are quite difficult to have a conversation with. Fortunately we are sometimes visited by young students who are interested in the everyday work of software house. This time we got to know Zuza, a high school student that is starting to look for the ideas of what kind of work would be most compatible with her interests and hobbies. Zuza spent with us a large part of the day and met with our Team Leaders, who described how their work looks like on day to day basis. In addition to that, GoDealla prepared a little surprise for Zuza - prize charades. We hope that Zuza had a great time at out office and that we helped her with the difficult task of choosing a future career path. Who knows, maybe in a few years she will join our team?
