Part A: Finish all of the training for the machines used for testing the corrugate fiberboard

Part B: It has been an incredible experience. All of the people who work with me at the Lab are fabulous. It seems if I was working with a group of friends. They are always in a positive mood and making you feel extremely comfortable. If I had any question while performing a test, there's no hesitation at all to ask anyone around for assistance. People here are efficient and have fun at the same time.

I got today several packages that came from Bogota, Barranquilla and Medellin. I have to perform all of the tests on their products, perform a quality test and finally record all of my findings. This findings then have to be analyzed and determine which factory lacks on quality or in the other hand is performing at or above expectation.



All of these tests are done by machines. Although it turns to be monotonous at some point, we do have some breaks in which we go around the factory and learn from other procedures such as packaging production, cycle from waste paper and fiberboard to recycled materials for new packages.

  1. It is nice to hear that your company breaks up the day for employees. That shows that they realize how tedious repetitive things can be. The reason why I have stuck to my job for so long is because everyday is different, learning new ways to do things, and it makes time fly.

  2. It is great to see that you enjoy the people who you work with. Every organization's culture is different and many times the workplace is not a place for enjoyment. When you can truly enjoy the people you work with, it makes enjoying your work that much simpler. A helpful crew makes the task simpler and more effective.
