Site - 2nd day

More from offline blog...

Had a fantastic Scotish breakfast (thought I'd stock up for the day), got to site a lot sooner than I thought so was able to take a short walk up the beach. Beautiful - there is definitel something about having the entire coast for as far as you can see just to yourself.
This morning was taken up entirely by my induction. Normally these involve sitting listening to someone with a book showing you pictures or perhaps a video. We were issued with what looked like TV remotes. An audio power point type presentation was started (which lasted for 3 1/2 hours!!). At intervals there would be a series of questions and you had to use the buttons on the rmote to answer them. The remote was tied into your "induction account" and you didn't get site approved unless you got >80%
This afternoon was very slow. The site had to be cleared by 5pm because the plant is being pressurised for the first time. The Honeywell engineers were up to their ears getting ready for that and when we looked in their panel had terminated the our cable incorrectly. Hopefully the work can be done tonight or first think and I can actually get something done before coming home. Talking to the guy I'm working with today and found out that he too had been involved with the Huggies line we put in at KC - small world
