ke-kuli-an

just came back from work.. tired and sweaty... somehow it was not in the work description that i was suppose to all the kuli job.. went to work.. was suppose to implement the 5S system but have not got my racking approval yet.. but then there's a row or rack in the factory.. since there's lots of good to be packed and exported so place was needed.. so i decided to dump some of the goods that was not needed and had not been used for like a year...

so.. i got a pallet hand truck and started to move the stuff.. hell it was tiring.. coz its like so many pallets(goods on a wooden plater) together and each pallet was about lets say 300-500kg.. so after about 2 hrs of hard pulling and pushing.. i was able to create an open space for the forklift to come in.. i went to look for the store keeper.. i found that stupid idiot.. he usually has nothing to do yet says he's damn busy.. same thing happened.. he said he had nothing to do so asked me to drive it myself..

i'm no pro forklift driver... i'm only good enough to drive it outside to load and unload the lorries .. but inside.. its like damn cramp... little space.. needed a really good driver.. so i tired la.. got halfway... din bump into anything la.. coz went pretty slow.. coz if u crash into anything.. its another reprint.. n believe me.. i'll get hell scolding.. good thing uncle joe was there... when i was about to reach the place.. he offered his help... it was a tougher than i thought to put those pallets on the rack.. coz it was not customized for those pallets.. had to put it in.. and take it out then put it in again... wad.. i had to climb the rack like a monkey.. it was dusty and all.. so had my hand all coated with dirt... was really dirty... thank God for the help of uncle joe.. we did it.. i might not have managed it alone..

then the part to complain is that 3 of us students were there for practical training.. n none of the other 2 guys took the initiative to come down to help me.. haihz.. i did not ask them but then u've got eyes n if you dont have anything to do.. pls do help around.. i'm trying to do something so that v have at least done something to improve on the condition of the factory...

anyway... at least i completed it.. now its time to await the approval of my proposal... racking for block B and block C with total cost of 175k... haihz... will have another challenge when the racks arrive.. lots of pallets everywhere.. what i did today was only a small part.. there about 4k square feet of pallets covering the floor of a 10000 square feet factory.. with a 400 square feet office...

the moral of the story is.. make clear ur job description when u work. :-P

but no doubt u can learn loads from doing everything under the sun.. like driving a forklift.. its not easy u know...
