Officially I am suppose to start work only on Friday, 5th Sept but I've made arrangements to visit the customer site today to check on the 3 systems & the couriered spares.
This site isn't exactly near to where I am staying & there isn't any taxis going in either. I had to book the hotel transport to bring me to & fro & that cost a whopping $6,000 peso. Not that I am paying for it. Everything will be charged to the hotel under my company's account.
The journey there was uneventful but it did take me about 1-1/2 to get there. Upon arrival, the security requested that I remove my ear rings. WTH? I did not do so as he could not really speak english & it was like a chicken & duck conversation. Anyway I managed to get in & met up with the local staff for a brief meeting on what is to be accomplished on this trip & of course an introduction of myself as well.
The 7 ladies were extremely warm & welcoming. They were also concerned that I might not be comfortable working with an all female team. Not that I am bothered, I am looking forward more to seeing the 3 systems that I'll be working on.
I double checked on the spares that were sent over & did a thorough inspection of the 3 systems. Generally speaking, 2 of them were rather old but from the looks of it, I shouldn't have any problem with them unless some other problem pops up.
In fact, I also had another mission on hand. But that is considered confidential & that it is not possible for me to divulge it at the present moment. I hope I am able to dig out that information of which my company so desires.
