Yes, here we are again ... back at TFO for another training. This time about workpermits.
Now you probably would have thought that a state of the art, brandnew refinery would have a state of the art, fully computerised and practical system for these kind of things. Well, guess again.
The system is old, it's all about paperwork and will take a lot of timeconsuming actions before anything can be put on to paper. And papers they have ! A3 sized ones ... and A4 ones .. and even smaller !
Let's just hope that ATI or some other computerised permit publishing system will make its entry soon.
The permits itself are wonderful, but it is not of this time anymore to have it all in hardcopy. Not in this day of age.
Anyway, another day tomorrow and I'll be certified, along with the other 20 Indians, a couple of French guys and some Malaysians. I just hope they don't have too many questions anymore on things that are not applicable here (ie. how to save someone who's stuck in a mansized hole and virtually unreachable ... this is something for safety and firedepartment, not for workpermits, is it ?)
Just off topic here : yesterday my laptop gave up ... can't find the operating program anymore. So if any computerwizards should read this, any advise is welcome ! If not, I'll need to get a new one, I guess. My Thai family will be happy to hear that, haha !
