Wireless Internet on the Train
December 28th, 2009Let me tell you about my journey to work the other day. I was on the train with my laptop, and of course i was online with my wireless connection. I work as a production line manager, and that particular morning i was late to work. However, from the comfort of my seat on the train, and with the help of a wireless internet connection i was enabled to solve an enormous problem at work…
I remember it well because i was complimented on my management skills to solve the problem. I had only just signed onto my wireless internet connection that morning when i had a phonecall from the office. The foreman of the production line was in quite a panic because one of the machines had gone down (broken) and he couldn’t find the engineer, because he believed the one on shift was sick that day.
After my initial displeasure with the whole situation i resolved to send an email to the engineer who was off sick. Luckily thanks to my wireless internet connection i managed to get him on an instant messaging program and started to chat to him about the problem. It turned out that there was something (something i’ve never heard of) broken on the machine. I instructed my foreman to photograph the broken part and email it to me directly. By the magic of fast wireless internet connection i had the image in seconds and was able to show the engineer. The engineer then solved the problem quickly and easily with a few simple instructions. The machine was up and running, and the company was making thousands again, all thanks to my quick thinking and a wireless internet connection. The only person who was unhappy was the engineer, who now thinks we may use online engineering assistance!
