My New Project
This is my New Project
This is my new project. When I came to the office today morning, I was informed that I will lead and manage a team of 5 technicians for this project. It is, as you can see in the above picture, an interchange whose signals nee to be modified according to the new traffic volume. A new facility has been proposed close to this interchange which will generate significant additional traffic into the network. This additional traffic makes the old programming of signal and also the network's geometry not responsive to the demand. Therefore, we know at least three elements will fail...My job is to identify the failing elements, as well as recommending the most effective solution for them...
Sounds interesting?? well, I would say, I am beginning to like my job far better than when I started. I have now have a significantly higher level of responsibility than when I was working at K2. But I have to admit, K2 was a great experience for me...
I also beginning an internal project that has to do with production optimization, and corporate culture related to that. That will be an ongoing project to improve ISL's productivity.
I guess paying for MBA, and putting so much of efforts (specifically losing many weekend morning sleep!!!) has slowly started paying up!!
I have been working since early morning. We have a group meeting for our BAMA 500 class. I have to drive all the way to downtown Vancouver...It is almost 50 km and I am really tired...
One thing I have learnt is that, specially in North America, those who have a happy life with 8 hours of work per day, are generally those who live lower than my expectations. I say "generally" because I am not applying this to everyone. There are a few exceptions...But generally those who make good money, work harder than those who make average money (again, with my standards)....
I just read this today about traffic signaling, you might find it interesting... or not!
