an eye opening trip

the trip to the Kulim branch for the presentation of the system was a real eye opener. the feedbacks we received was termendous..it was my first live contact with the real IT world. the fact that remains true until now is that not many people really know what IT means. some people think IT can make miracles happen and some think anyone can learn IT and that it is useless. that was what that happened back in my company.

when we went to kulim branch,the people there requested so many additional modifications to be done to the system. some of the requests were totally ridiculous. but one thing good was that they were willing to accept the system and they were curious to learn about it. they asked so many questions but not one at a time,so many people were talking,all at one time,bombarding questions until everything went haywire. still..it was good..it really was good.

had lunch in my boss's house,played with her kids for a while and rushed back to penang for the presentation there at 3.30. here,the situation was different. they were so angry with us for introducing the system. they were busy finding faults with it rather than trying on how to make it work. there was a point when i wanted to get up and scream my heads off but refrained myself. that would just ruin everything. i just accepted the fact that they are old timers and presenting a new system would mean newer adaptations to be done.

the next day had a meeting with my supervisor and the project coordinator.many modifications were eliminated and newer specifications were added.my workload increased but im not complaining.i really enjoy it.

was helping some of the supervisors to adapt to the system and some of them were very nice to me. while helping them, i realised there were so many errors with the program. i have not used the system before,all i was doing was making modifications,troubleshooting,debugging and adding new parts into the partly complete system. i did not bother checking the partly complete part..and while i was teaching the supervisors,i detected the errors. i really dont know what the previous programmer was thinking when she was creating the system. not enough specifications were given so the system was a bit haywire. next week,i need to check into that part and fix all those problems. ahh..never liked programming until i stepped into the real world..now every single problem is a challange and every single achievement is so sweet. i truly enjoy it..!

im making so many new friends at work. from the guards to the cleaners..they are all my friends. i love it!
