The Job that Pays my Expences

It's one day before the end of this year. the time to do some reflection on this 2007.

Where should i started? maybe started with my CV? well, my cv seems okay for this year. i mean, it couldn't be any better.
So i finished my diploma in 2006. suceed my defence on 08.08.2006 to be exact. the following month i start working at this small company named PT. Winindo Karya Dinamika. the managing director (also owner) is an old friend of my Dad. (should i say something about him in this blog??) and an Ex boss of my brother. Darwin Tanoto. former vice president of the ABB sakti Industri. a very big compay. subsidiary of the ABB. ater a while, i'm a Project Coordinator there. not so sure wether it's because i'm able to do that, or because Darwin have no other options. Working there give me alot of experience. i do lots of things i've never imagine i'll ever did. Anyway, a friend from work offer me a Job in his division in SIEMENS . i really think i should underline the company name. hahahaha. (for you who know some about my work, pelase note that this guy is not my Senior, not Deni. it's someone else). estimation division. i think i can do that. i ve done that for some of Winindo's projects. and you should guess the Salary they offer me. well, for a guy my age, it's very huge. i've never thought that i might have that kind of salary with present conditions. it's just i'm so proud of it. even it's only an offer. hahahahah.
anyway, back about my CV, I'm working in the Electrical Industries Drives and Automation to be exact. i myself spend most of my time in the Pulp and Paper division. yeah for real. the first project i do is to change the drive system of a Pulp dryer machine. it belongs to IKPP. a pulp and paper company belongs to the Sinar Mas Group. my main Job is actually nothing else than Helping the Project Coordinator aka Glenn Dharmin. (i'm gonna spend some time talking about this guy). Well helping him is not hard. just do some small things he asked. but the problem is he's not a good project Coordinator. he keep track of nothing. not even the commisioning date. yeah he understand the pulp and paper process. but still....... lack of management skill. anyway, i didn't do alot for the project. to be honest, i just make some schedule, managing the logistics, paperwork, designing the Fiber optic layer (the maching is so damn big. it takes about 10 minutes just to walk around it. , what can you expect? it's pulp dryer. not a rewinding machine......). the fiber optic layer is not that complicated actually. but the Glenn guy made it so complicated. yeah being bullshited by the supplier. so we ended with the wrong type of cable, with so many unused cores, complex configuration. and a big pile of cost. the thing i learn from this projects is the basic paper process. (when i said basic, i mean really basic. i don't even know how the pulp move from the wire roll to the pick up roll. which is now, i know about it), some PLC stuff from the Schneider Electric. the Blue Telemecanique. it's actually a Modicon PLC. still using the old Concept programming. also some about fieldbus (limited to Profibus and Canbus). Citect SCADA Programming, and the main thing, Vacon Drive. even though we didn't do such a good thing about it, the User aka Michael Chin (a chinese malaysians) seems okay about our performance. and the funny thing about this guy is, Glenn is the Project Coordinator and i'm the Assistant Project Coordinator, but Michael Chin always talk to me about everything even Glenn is right beside him. it's the greatest pleasure in that project.
after the project, i also design, and Collect the Documentation for the Whole Project. i't's 5 binders. and i don't even think that anyone will ever read it. i myself, only keep the last 2 binder which according to me, the only important part of the project.
after that project finished, i started to work on the Quotation of two paper projects. one is with the Pindo Deli Pulp and Paper. also belong to Sinarmas Group. this machine is very old. they buy it secondhanded and built it around the sixties. ant the other is a security paper machine. this one not belons to the sinarmas group. both sucseed. so i got the Project Coordinator for the Pindo Deli and Control Engineer for the Security paper. suddenly, i feel bored talking about my job. so i'm gonna post it. and finish it some other time, in some other posting.
