Back to Work
I was sick the whole last week and today I went back to work. There was not so much work today. I showed some of our achievements to the guest from another institute then I had to sign some documents. But in the afternoon I had a phone conversation with my boss that made me nervous. Yes, my boss knows how to make me nervous! Actually, I'm going to change my job from January and can't wait!

Hi, I read through the corrections from the other language partner, and I agree with her except for the last sentence "Actually, I'm going to change my job from January and can't wait!" It's confusing without more context and leaves you wondering. What do you mean exactly? Are you going to start looking for a new job? Have you already got one?
If it's the former, you should change it to something like "I'm going to start looking for a new job starting (informal) / beginning (formal) January", if it's the latter then it should be something like "I'm going to change my job in January" since this is a specific point in time, vs the process of job-hunting.
Sorry, my Russian is not good enough to try and figure out why you may be getting confused about this! These nuances are usually grammar "transfers" from one language to the next. You may want to think about how you would express this in your mother tongue and see if there's any difference between Russian and English.

Hello. It's the 2nd case. I have already got a new job, an agreement. So it should be "I'm going to change my job in January". Thank you for your corrections!

I was sick the whole of last week and today I went back to work today.
I was sick the whole of last week and I went back to work today.
I moved today at the end for more clarity. As putting last week and today next together reads as you were sick today and last week too. You could instead use a comma to break the sentence up. " I was sick the whole of last week, and today I went back to work."
There was not so mucha lot of work today.
There was not a lot of work today.
You also can write "There was not a lot of work to do." To avoid repeating the word today.

Avoid starting a sentence with 'but' here as it is a contrast/ comparison word.

Great job! I would work on using commas to break up the sentences, try reading your writing out loud as this will help you know where to place them. I also think adding more details within your writing would make it make entertaining. For example, give more details as to why your boss makes you nervous. Is he or she intimidating? Do they ask you to do things quickly? etc....
