Greetings
from my rather lovely onsite managerial 'super-suite' caravan somewhere on the
Devon coast. It has been quite the week and I am glad I am traveling back
tomorrow. It's been nowhere near as bad as I was anticipating, and actually I'm
not entirely sure why it was necessary to be here at all, as the rest of the senior
staff seemed to have everything under control despite Gavin's worries, but I suppose
he felt better knowing he had sent me, and I suppose they have benefitted from
having an outside eye looking in.
I
have to admit as well that there has been an unexpectedly nice benefit to me
personally. Because I was sent in as a troubleshooter, with Gavin praising my
work at my usual site, I was instantly given respect from staff and thanked for
riding in on my white horse (or plane) to help them. When I started at the site
in Suffolk, I was the new guy from another industry who had to learn as he went
along; here I'm seen as an experienced hand who has already proved himself and is
worth listening to, and that's been really nice.
Maybe
I SHOULD move here!
