From Information Services to Quality Control/Manufacturing (the examples so far are from medical device manufacturing).

Tuesday

• Allowed to come in at 0700 and the plant training manager was at my desk at 0715
• Got my web learning id and password, he then showed my NO LESS THAN 60 documents to read and remember, however he did state "We realize that people learn best by doing and expect  that you will only retain about 10% of what you read".  Well, at that is reassuring...
• The rest of the day was spent reading until 1430.  Mark comes back down and says "Has anyone come to talk to you?" "Nope." "OK, let me give Craig a call.....He wasn't at his desk.  May I give him your cell number?" "Sure thing" - 15 minutes later Craig calls "Do you know where I sit?" "No, no I don't." "OK, I'll be right down.  Are you still by HR?" "Maybe?  Same desk that Mark pointed to me yesterday."
• "Tomorrow you can come in at 1530 to 2330." "OK.  Will do."
