Happy Monday Hivers and my fellow Actifit buddies! I'm Iris from East Java, Indonesia and I'm back again with my daily working journal. Today my schedule had me travel around 92 km to Sidoarjo, an industrial city in East Java.
I had to take public transportation because the distance is too far for me to ride my motorbike. As usual, this factory always made me walk a lot because it is just so huge especially because I didn't bring any vehicles.
It was only 10 AM in the morning but the sun was already shining so high and bright. The QC office is a makeshift old container that was stationed near the loading dock and usually I can easily reach 1K step going there from the entrance.
However, it was nothing compared to the maintenance workers who were tasked to install the solar panel under this blazing sun. Smart move I guess, considering there are plenty of sun power in this city. The heat is just unbearable, sometimes it would reach aroun 41° C. I really admired the dedication of those people who still can function well on this heat.
See how far it was just to reach the warehouse from QC headquarter? We had a meeting today to discuss production and quality issue, so I have to travel back to the mid office after short briefing with my team.
Strangely I do like meetings. Of course sometimes we will encounter disagreement, especially if we talked about quality issue. But negotiations and brainstorming always made me excited. Especially if I could win the arguments. But luckily, today the meeting went amicably and we resolved everything well.
My next schedule was to review the production panel for color reference. We did this every 6 month to make sure that our products still in color range. It was just routine but really important to do. Since my manager had to be present to approve it, we got time until after lunch break. I was not in the mood to have lunch at the factory so I went out to search nice place to lunch. Found this little Kopitiam that sold quick lunch and offer full power AC room, so I am sold. It was only a simple eatery, but the food was okay and the ambiance pretty much like old-fashioned kopitiam.
The review went well and we just sped the rest of the day catching up and talked about current situation. This simple interaction is what makes my working day very interesting, because I met with a lot of people, from factory workers, paint vendors and technicians, supervisors and manajers who each always have stories to tell. It gave me a lot of insight about business situation and also some personal updates.
For me, it was very important to build good relationship beyond the work matters because you never know what information you could get and perhaps new opportunities. It's never bad to have many connections as long as you could position your stance well.
I went home using public bus again because it was the most convenient since I didn't have a clear schedule of when my work ended. The bus to my city is available every 30 minutes so I could always catch one whenever I need. Again I had to walk some distance from the entrance to the bus stop, but that's okay because I enjoy walking.
That's all for today. I hope you guys also had a productive day. See you soon!
