today i did my defensive driving course. it was quite interesting as i got the chance to drive in tripoli and get a taste of what it is like. well i don't say it was like tehran, cause tehran is much better in that sense. however, i would put it this way, the density of the ones who drive like a total ass is much higher than in tripoli than tehran. i guess you could find them everywhere. i few places there are rare, some countries they common, in other countries they are the dominant breed!
i guess i give my instructor a bit of scare at the end as i had to steer pass a four wheeler as a lorry was ramming my way from behind and i had to miss him.
work is going forward slowly and it is frustrating, but i am hoping to have a good progress in two weeks time and see a great deal of work being done.
today i had a meeting with HSE guy and he was keen in implementing the HSE in Contracts. surprisingly, he was not updated about group's policy in HSE for Contractors, which means i aev to educate him on that as well, but at least he would tak a bit of load of bringin teh senior managers in line with the requirements of Supply Chain.
next week is the exams week. i have to pass them and i found out that i don't have one of the books and i can't have it at all. the problem was, that there's no indication on the website about it and i had the impression that it shud be on the CD that they had already sent me. it was not in that, andthen later they emailed me a whole document, which i found out later is the wrong one. so i really don't know what i do. i might have to cancel it! it would not be good.
