Well on the 1st a couple of us from office were supposed to go on a field visit. We were going to see a wind turbine! Well we were supposed to leave at 4 so we can get to the place in time but that got vetoed and so we decided to leave at about 5. Well they had to pick up different people from different points. I was supposed to be pickup up from my stop at 5:30.

Well the day you need your alarm the most it doesn't work! I get up to the sound of an alarm and I check the time and its 5:25!!! 5 minutes before my bus arrives and I have just got out of bed! Takes me good ten minutes to get to the place where my bus would pick me up. Anyway I call up the guy coordinating and he doesn't sound like he has even left! Well so I hurry and dress up. I had a shower the previous night just before going to bed and so that helped, time wise.

So I leave my house at about 5:40 start walking and realize that I don't have my camera. What's the point going without a camera! Well I head back and got it. I then rushed to the to the bus stop. I made it in 5 minutes! I then waited and there was no sign of the bus! Call the guys up and they claim they are on their way. Finally in about 10 minutes the bus arrives. But then there was another guy who was supposed to get into the bus from my stop and hadn't arrived! So we waited till 6:15! We leave again and then had to wait at the next stop for another 15 minutes! Basically we waited for almost everyone for at least 5-10 minutes. We finally picked up everyone by 7:30 AM. The planned time was 6:00 AM! Then we stopped to have breakfast. Then we stopped to have lunch! Then we waited for someone to pick us up and take us to the site! Returned home about 1:00 AM. Planned latest time was 11:00PM.

This is the state of people from GE who live and breathe six sigma! God knows what others will do!
