In Green for 2 weeks

Had two weeks of ICT, had a fair share of high and lows. I when in very motivated and came out sulking. What happen ?? When you stepped in there are lots and lots of things to take over. When there numerous items to be accounted for your head cries “Where is the manpower?” There is no concrete system in place. Many times a note book and pen come to an aid with a long queue waiting to collect the items. Admin issue! Scene like this repeat most of the time.

1 x character had trapped in the office. All were wondering how he endured his pee almost half a day. It takes team effort and bit of detail to prevent this.

The state of the art RFID based system failed to detect some laps and delayed the book-out timing. Good thing there was some video to fall back on, and still that would be labor intensive. After the first run of 2400m, the system was reset and checked and it took hours before the circuit was open again. It was wait, wait and more waiting. On a positive note the scorching sun was slowing weakening. May be going back to manual mode for that period would have save man-hours as suggested by my boss.

Had abrasion and i had to endure with the rest of the training. Attribute it to the soap and undergarment. Once sore it takes days to heal. With the desert-like weather things just get worse. Lumps start to grow. The heat power came to the rescue during those moments.

Out in the field i bumped into a snake, get myself to Holland and manage to figure a way-out to mange the situation and progress further. Got to invest in a GPS device! Not a long -term solution though. My frequency ended up being jammed and shut-down at times. As the clock ticks, towards the closing somehow the energy level of some starts to grow. Handing over equipment, seeing the damage and loss list growing make my head spin. Fortunate some willing soul came forward to save the day.

At last it was all over.

In the process did meet some amazing people. Remarkably one of them is my boss, who never fails to smile and handle tense situation well. Another one, i will credit for is the hardworking M-----, who shoulder many responsibilities because he was willing, he need not have to and would just followed the rest. He had keep things moving. There is a bunch of group not worth mentioning let’s forget them and move forward getting better.
