One busy week gone... another ahead...
It was a very busy week last week. Monday through Wednesday were fairly typical work days here. Seems like nothing can get started until late in the day so that makes extra hours a pretty regular thing. Thursday and Friday I made the overnight trip to Hyderabad. Saturday was another typical workday but at least we got out on time. Saturday night was party night but since Zac and I had to get up and go to work on Sunday (yahoo!! more hours…), I made it an early night. Had fun at the bar while there. Julia and I danced a couple times and, as usual, everyone just watched, at first anyway. The second time we got up, a couple of the locals that were there got up as well, even their wives, all dancing in a group. This was a first… usually Julia is the only woman in the place but Saturday there were maybe 3 or 4 other women in with their husbands and a couple little rug rats running around as well. Even though it ended early for me it was a good time, well, as good as it gets here anyway. Sunday was a wasted day. The workers, supervisors, etc don’t listen to what they are instructed to do. We have very specific procedures to follow for many of the items that need to be monitored by us and we are always butting heads with the customer. I’m trying to stop arguing with them but it’s difficult… Hopefully I’ll get better at controlling my temper with them. Today I just decided not to argue about anything. He came at me this morning wanting to deviate this and that so they could show progress I would usually argue about it with them but not today. I just said no. He started arguing his case and I looked at him and said just “no, end of discussion” turned back to my computer and ignored him completely. Maybe they will get mad and want me to leave. Damn, now that would be a real shame. That would definitely break my heart…
