My job project client recently (Monday) send one of the senior management to our office. Reason for the visit was to follow up on the recent contract agreement as well as to discuss the work, current and any additional work. More like to see whether there is any discrepencies with our work procedures.
And for that, we have to do a lot of preparation for him. Update the work procedures (It was done 5 years ago) as well as to check whether we are performing any 'free' services. Free being done by us but cannot be charged to client. I think we spend about half a day for that. Such a waste of time :(
However, the visiting client was acutally a very nice guy. (Too bad he's old & married :p) We went for dinner and drinks together as this was the first time he is in town. Yeah.. free food and drinks with free taxi ride home. Of course we went for seafood dinner and he was not disappointed. We too enjoyed the free food & drinks. I think we chose the place according to our taste rather than to show him our culture :) Thank goodness he enjoyed himself.
Anyway, we also took this opportunity to get to know one of our colleague better. He just joined us from India. I've forgetten which part of India. I wonder what is it about India that makes most of them look older than they actually are. This colleague of mine is only 27 yrs old. But no way will people believe that. He looks much more older than that. Intially none of us believed that he is that young. However, during our dinner, he mentioned that he intended to settle down by next year as he will be 28 by then. I think that was when we are finally convince that he is really only 27 yrs old. I'm having second thoughts about eating Indian food now.
