Here we go...

This is just one last try to post from Ghost blog to micro.blog. I really hope, this will work.
Hoory! finally, it worked. So, let's see here I'm updating the earlier blog post on Ghost to see whether the updated post comes up on micro.blog.

Dining out

spur of the moment decision to dine out this evening in the popular sea food restaurant by the sea

Work Week ahead March 4th - 8th, 2018

Scanning through the calendar in the day job at a glance,it is good to see that there aren't many meetings scheduled for me to attend. There is one, though that I will have to facilitate on Wednesday, of which I will prepare either on Monday or Tuesday.

What am I excited about and look forward to achieving

  • I'd like to go to the kitchen and do a few checks, whether the entire process of A380 Economy Class SPML loading trial is working from ground catering perspective.
  • While I will be in the kitchen, I'd like to start acertaining all the plastic stuff we are putting on board.
  • Will also look for an opportunity for coaching one or two of my team.
  • May be do a few observations onhow the Flights are despatch from the kitchen,in prep for my next big project.
  • Review and close respnses for FA Reportts in the month of February.

Lids

Quality issue of plastic lids - yes another plastic among many - has just been reported in the kitchen. According to the report, some of the lids were found about one milimeter long and as a result, they do not fit properly in the equipment they are meant to be covered. Fun!

Excited

This hasn't happened to me for long time, but this morning,I came to work with excitement of promote of a few enhancements to our main business software. Most of the new features that were promoted in to production are my own ideas and suggestions to improve the SPML product, customer experience, and our own business process.

New Template

So people have started using a new Template as the medium for sending communication about changes to the loading. Some one has emailed a soft copy earlier this afternoon. When I looked at it, at once I noticed that a suggestion that I had preciously given as regards to using generic terms in the industry that is understood in most part of the world, has not been implemented. Instead the creator of the template has still kept specific jargon that only use & understood by the Kitchen here. Additionally, some else, who had possibly wanted to be the 1st to use of the new template sent some instructions to a forthcoming loading trial with incorrect or incomplete information! It's like the saying"We can have the best system, but if we cannot put in correct & accurate information, it is of no use"

Traction

Here is a not so intersting selfie. This neck traction is part of physiotherapy session at Woordul Spine Centre. This is my 4th of 8 sessions, the doctor has prescribed. Fun!

OJ

After all the prepping and talks since last week and also the stand up meeting convened this morning to talk more about the trails for this guy, we've in the end come to realization that, we got everything misunderstood image001.jpg

So the trials scheduled from tonight is now cancelled and looks like back to the drawing board.

New Habit...

Reading an article published by Annie McKee in a recent HBR suggested that we need to pay attention to our feelings & moods. She talked about negative emotions such as fear, frustration, and anger signal that something is really wrong with oneself. She aserts that, most time we overemphasize these kind of feelings in our minds and therefore, it helps to examine them and to make a concerted effort to tap into and emphasize the postive emotions that support well-being and postive emotions.In the article McKee suggests an advance review of the coming work week.

So, here we go…

My Upcoming week - Feb 25th to March 1st,2018
What's getting my attention? What do I look forward to?

  • CAT360 Auto Meal Order Application feature promote - I'm really excited about this & happy,as I had the opportinity to contribut lots as regards to feature set that would be promoted with the enhancements.
  • I'm also look forward to initiating a few meaningful actions in the Project Plan, that I drew up for implementation of the Pilot Phase of above application feature in the operations.I feel particularly happy that I managed to draw up the Project Plan in detail earlier this morning, working from home.
  • To update the User Reference Guides
  • By the end of next week, I will also make sure everything in place for A380 Economy Class SPML loading distribution flight trials.
  • I might as well spend some time on the Kitchen shop floor to check about Kit Bags packing process, as it needs some attention as well as before I request my team to follow up of KIS Reports,I thought, it is important me to understand the process thoroghly myself. I look forward to that.

What am I anxious about or rather avoid?

  • Not too sure I'm very excited about one on one meeting with the boss tomorrow.Though I've prepared for it with my notes & sorts, I feel he might even not look at it with any interest. This feeling is perhaps becuase in the recent past weeks, he did not display any interest on my pre notes. I had felt making notes prior to the meeting,most of the times on my weekend is completely waste of time!

GSE Road

Once in while people in the kitchen do inform us about the congestion on the access roads around the tarmac, which delay catering Hi Loaders reaching the parking stands.
