finally back..

first week back from the client's place.. finally back in office.. ahh.. :) well, i was stationed at my client's place for almost 3 months (or more). interesting experience? well aside from seeing really nice expensive cars, my day is usually filled with answering phone calls, entertaining some fairly interesting questions, programming - which i though i would not be doing anymore, attending meetings, documentations, chassing after some users to complete their work we gave them, being chased by my boss to complete the work he gave me.. yup.. pretty interesting, huh?
most of the time, when we speak that we are going to the client's place, it automatically gives an impression as though, its something grand or important.. well, i used to think that way too. until i was there a lil too long. hahaa.. some of my friends started to think i'm stationed there forever and some of our clients wanted to hire us as their permanent staff. that was when we (the rest of us who were stationed at the client's place) started to give hints to our boss to station us back to office.

now that i'm finally back in office.. ahh.. nice. my table again, my friends around here, my cup that i regularly make my coffee in the morning (back in the client's place, i had to buy my teh-tarik!).. it is nice to be back in office. but reflecting back on the 3 months or more in the client's place, i did manage to learn alot.
1. i learned how to deal with the clients when they ask a lil too much questions
2. i learned to just listen to the client's pressure that they have to go through
3. i learned that my colleague and boss aint that scarry, in fact they're really fun to be with
4. i learned alot about my colleagues over lunch (since there were only 4 of us)
5. i learned that in the small group of people, it is easier to potray God's character

well, i'm not saying that i was all perfect during the time i was in the client's place but, i realised that when there is a smaller group, it is easier to potray God's character. well, also aside from the fact that we are the only familar face that we see everyday while trying to 'enjoy' our stay there. now that i'm back in office.. there's a bigger crowd. we're mixed with our different colleagues from different projects...

well, i hope.. or rather, i pray, that during the few months at the client's place, God's character was shown to the people that i encountered with.. ;)
