This year was very special for me as it was very intensive and interresting.

Advantages:

• 4 times described in employees newsletter (for all the computer programms I participated in implementation or was main contributor)
• award at work for the last „Bussiness Intelligence” project and doing things, which are considered to be impossible
• 3 fullfilled private dreams (and now I am afraid to dream abt sth new if these dreams were fulllfilled so easily)
• 5 abroad trips in one year (4 of them were duty trips)
• knowledge of German at acceptable level
• being a mentor for junior software engineer (the hardest thing ever!)

Disadvantages:

• privately: 2 very important persons in my family died
• unbalance in work-life
• lots of stress (unfinished projects, bad communication, chaos at work, doing 5 things at the same time), what caused problems with health -stomachitis – don’t recommend

Plans for the new year:

• work on life-work balance!
• fullfill one of my dreams from the list;) – this time it will be „Ship Journey on Mediterranean Sea” with Royal Carribean or other company
• create new game for my kids using Unity library
• finish unfinished projects at work
• learn:
  • MS Azure better to be able to do sth more usefull than this year
  • finish „Business Intelligence Analyst course”
  • R language for BI
  • become Bussiness Intelligence Analyst

For all readers of my blog I would like to wish:

All the best for the New Year !!! and Dare to try doing things, which are difficult!!!
