So far, it's been pretty darn quiet for us here. Construction delays have resulted in our team having a bit of extra time to spend in the office helping out our Korean counterparts at Emerson Seoul, who are in the process of building and performing Factory Acceptance Tests on our equipment prior to it being shipped down to us at the project construction facility here in Ulsan. While this sounds fine and dandy, and, well, it is actually pretty great to be sitting in air conditioned luxury while it's pouring rain and +33C, I have a feeling you may be getting the wrong impression of what an office means to me here. Allow me to take you for a tour of the Emerson office on site.
Unfortunately I can't show many pictures of the construction yard since taking pictures of other companies' projects is frowned upon, but we're located in the far corner from the main entrance, close to where the majority of the buildings we'll be working on are being built. The building on the right is Emerson Ulsan:
The yellow bump stop in that picture has been placed on a set of tracks that allow a movable shelter and gantry crane to keep the rain off whatever is currently under construction. You can see this shelter here, the yellow cross member near the roof on the inside is the crane.
Those steel beams you see on the ground have since been welded together into a structure that supports a bunch of process equipment; tanks and piping and the like.
Inside our office is where all the magic happens. Here's a shot from the conference room looking back towards the kitchenette. My desk is the furthest back in this picture. Take note of the Hello Kitty toaster.
And, well, that's it. How exciting! That's my life these days for 55 hours a week. I'll post more about work once things pick up around here.
I appreciate all the hard work you are doing and I love you!
