First Day at the Facility

The facility in Bangalore

The facility in Bangalore

Woke up at 5 a.m. after only 4 hours of sleep... The time change continues to haunt me.  Apparently I am not alone as one member of the client took an ambien yet nevertheless woke up 4 hours later a bit dazed and the other member of the client still can't fall asleep before 5 a.m.  Regardless of time it was time to work.  We took a car arranged by the client to the facility.  Because this site does not manufacture any actual products it is located in a nice office building, a far cry from the typical client facility.  We were greeted by the very affable general manager and proceeded to conduct a full day audit interrupted only by a 1 1/2 hour lunch at a nice Indian restaurant for our share of rice, tandoor and various other Indian dishes.  All this Indian food is creating havoc with my digestive system. 

Thank God I really enjoy the people from the client, they are from the U.S. and Singapore but are just generally great people... It is actually really enjoyable to spend several weeks with them. 

Given our lack of sleep and a tremendous traffic jam on the way home (apparently when they work on a bridge in India, they don't make alternative travel arrangements resulting in a 20 min drive taking over an hour!), we decided to call it a relatively early night and go attempt to pass out.
