Work

I have been back at work for 2wks now since Christmas. So far I have been tasked with finding where we have missed charging the client for work we have completed. It was interesting to see the massive amount of money missed. Following this, I have started implementing a new system to capture the information, which has been challenging to make sure it will work, and is fool proof. There are heaps of problems with the current system, and I am trying to eliminate them. My solution was a simple excel sheet with a few macros, but it needs to be pretty robust as many users will fiddle with it.

I have also been given a massive amount of paperwork to complete before I can get out on the bomb crew (loading shots before they are blasted). It is about half a ream of assessment, so I hope I can get through that pretty quickly, as I only have 4wks left on site :(.

I love this site as there is so much to do, with a massive ramp up currently underway. There are also so many experienced and knowledgeable people on site, who are always happy to explain things to you. On Friday I drove around with the Production Manager for a few hours, and he was happy to teach me a fair bit about why things are being done a certain way. It was a pretty good experience. I guess I better start getting ready for work. I love the late start on Monday. It's especially late today, at 10am, which is a nice change to the rest of the week, when we start at 6am.
