Packing Up

OK – I arrived too early, again assuming that the roads would be busy – They were not. And my team members were late of course – that is to be expected. Combined I was there about an hour or so too early. I spent my time just sitting thee waiting for people to asking questions about the motorcycles which were there ready for shipping. Quite interesting…

Once everyone arrived we started packing things up. Everything from radios to computers had to be logged and packed up and put into boxes. Then the boxes were put in an area for air mail [over 50 boxes will go this way], or into a large shipping container for transport by sea. We have over 200 boxes in the container – where a box can be anything up to an 8 foot rack with 4 video monitors bubble wrapped and cling rapped for shipping. We had three 5 foot satellite dishes in there too. This was a lot of work.

I left a bit before 5:00 so that I could come in for dinner to the city. This was cool. Before I left my boss was horsing around, throwing water around, so I pointed to my windscreen, which he then washed with spring water and his hand… And then put his hand out for payment. I paid $1… They also attempted to pack my car in plastic wrap, but it did not stick… I just cracked up at this.

Dinner was good, and met a few vendors that I had not yet met. I also met a couple of people working for us that I had not met… I was trying to remember all the people I had met on the first day, and not seen since. I met some interesting people – the person who had my power tools, and also a vendor from Vic. Both were interested in the work I had done, and were interested in commercial applications of the work. This I came across a few times..
