I received news of me been selected by my Boss and Mill manager to go US for a Process Workshop and mill benchmarking...
I had worked in Kimberly-clark for 4 years and I missed the chance to be sent overseas for training when we were starting the mill 4 years back. I always use it to tell my colleagues that I and my partner, Lau, did not went for the overseas training... haha... Who knows... I got it this time.. Lau might be going to Taiwan for training of another machine.
ok, back to my trip, I was supposed to be going with my female colleague, a grade change engineer in my co. A capable little lady, malaysian, I admired her courage to stay on and work in KC, haahaa.. pple in there will understand the SHIT we have to take everyday... Stay ON GIRL!! :)
Jus 1 week before my departure for US, She informed me that she would be taking her bf along for this trip.. Iwas like... WTF!!?? later on, I found out the reason and I accepted her explanation although she did not handle the matter in a more professsional manner.
Pple who knew about my situation told me they pitied me but asked me to be like a professional and respect my Mill manager who gave me the chance to travel. I thought thru and realised I had been behaving like a cry baby. SOrry everyone who I had shown a stupid and childish attitude during work...
TImes FLIES>>>>...........
On the eve of my departure, My dear MTL, Hua Ge, specially brought forward the Tier change of LAO Product, because we are running a difficult product count, 32 diapers in a bag product. The Optima Bagger would need special attention to count and I assumed he probably want me to stabilise the bagger before I leave.
The next best thing... The Bagger had problems running, with the clutch kicking out out of nowhere. I went to inspect and found that the shaft holding the clutch was worn out and in the end we spent the whole day till 8pm waiting for the new spare to arrive. In the end, alot of pple stayed with me to do the installation of the new spare. I'm not the main reason why everyone stays, but its a kind of bond and teamwork we had established over the years. THanks guys!! Thanks for all your valuable information and suggestions. Sorry to those that I had offended during the installation. Doesnt mean it at all... :)
Finally we got the main machine running at 10pm and things go on very well... I feel very happy alth my luggage had not been packed yet... At least I see the machine running before i leave for US... and next... US.. HERE I COME..
TO be continued....
