2 first weeks of work!

Hello there!

I know I should write more often, but lately I have been busy (this sentence is getting old, I need a new one). I have been working for 2 weeks now!
There things are quite great, lots of things to do, to improve and to optimize, which is something I love. Where I work they make some airplanes parts, maintenance, repair and overhaul of airplanes and some tests of a fighter plane (Harrier). To be more precise, where I am they manufacture "wires" and parts for the cabin of the planes.

What do I do there? Well, my first task has been to meet everyone and try to remember a hundred names, fortunately in Spain we don't have much imagination and you can always say "Antonio" or "Pepe" and somebody will surely answer. After that I have studied the manufacturing process and the new system they want to follow, in order to make it work as it should and solve every problem I can.
It's a job of management and coordination of the different teams in the Airbus Military facility where I have to use all the leadership I have and my social skills at the same time that I apply the management knowledge I am getting in the master classes. It is actually very interesting to have around 65 people depending on you directly and 15 more indirectly, to coordinate different teams (not only manufacturing, also engineering and design, quality control and a few more) is a task that is making me feel much more enthusiasm for it than I expected.

Not everything is great tho, I miss airplanes. In the building next to mine they work with 3 to 5 airplanes and at the coffee break we go to visit them, but it's not the same. The good thing is that the guy who was previously in my position got hired and now he is working directly with the new A400M team, which is like a dream come true.

And one last thing: I'll go to Sweden in 25 days, I'll arrive on December 26th around 22:40.
Be awesome and #KeepPushing
