Mission accomplished?
My stint in the CIP (Continuous Improvement Programme) has come to an end:
- finally made breakthroughs in some seemingly chronic mind-boggling issues
- possibly bringing profits to the company
- a record high uptime (>90% uptime) for the machines have been achieved. Sweeet… yeah sure...
OK, my customers are happy & my bosses are happy… so should I be happy that they are happy? Oh fuck, I struggled damn hard with my limited experience and sacrificed my precious personal time, just to bring the machines to where they are now. So do you think I really care about them being happy???
If I were to celebrate in any way, it would be coz I am going back to shift work… which means ample free time to read, to swim, to gym, to watch shows, to hang/chill out etc…
So FUCK all those ppl who had given me hell!
And FUCK all those who had demanded unreasonable requests!
Yeah sure the motto is “Think: Customer, Company, Individual” but you have to draw a damn bloody line between work and death! Sooner or later, they have to realize that there’s only 24 hrs a day, 1 pair of hands on a person, and 1 brain that feels like it has been pummeled with force greater than the tsunami!
Frankly to be fair, all is not as fucktup as I painted it to be. Of course during good times, it is really a joy working:
- you will constantly be learning and thinking, coz new challenges always arise somehow
- you get to work hands-on and know the systems in-depth
- you learn to take initiative on your projects, ie project management
- you are exposed to stupid customers and demanding bosses, ie you will appreciate good ppl more than ever (I like this point)
- you get to work own time own target, ie be late for work and still get away with it :)
With this, all is still good… and I welcome myself back to the world of shift work.
