Strangely, it's just been four days.. though if feels like forever… and not in a bad way at all! It feels like we know each other since a looong time… feels like we know the neighbourhood we live in.. our evening walks for grocery or otherwise, just feel so safe to walk around ... and we're making so much headway on our projects, with our clients... it's an unbelieveable feeling!!
The Electrical Company project CSC sub-team were supposed to have a presentation to the client leadership and we were amazed how they'd be ready on day 2 for it.. and they ended up doing it in a board meeting... successfully though, from the sound of it. One of the things that seemed very interesting was that in this room full of stern people who seemed to not react to the presentation at all, they got up and actually, very seriously, said a prayer before the meeting start.
We knew our project wasn't so formal when, at the time of gathering requirements from the administration staff, we had to ask them if we could turn the music down so we could hear them better :D It was a unique experience none-the-less. We met a german in the morning who was trying to set up a system to get students vocational training vouchers, funded by the govt. of Germany. The day was good with a new scope getting added to the project and a lot seeming achievable. Plenty still to be worked out though. Of course, it wasn't all cream and cheese! This was the first time the three of us from different countries, different background, different skills were working together and it took till the end of the day to get adjusted to the working styles and there's just been no looking back :)
