I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0159. Business Trip

My leader sent me a chat message and told me that I should prepare for a business trip. I didn't get full details until the next day. Basically, there was an urgent usability test. After negotiation, half of the team was assigned to support this test. All the preparation had to be done within two weeks. Preparation included pre-arranging test subjects, device preparation, travel arrangement etc. One member was assigned to fly Japan, along with other teams' members. Another member and I were assigned to fly local office in North America. I was not excited because all the rush and I already been there last year.

The Wednesday before we left for the testing, we were afraid of short of subjects. So I was re-assigned to fly Europe office. This meant the other memeber and I were along to do the experiment alone. I also had to change travel arrangment and asked support from Europe office within three days. I remember all of us couldn't left office on the Friday until after 10.30PM. It was because we had to get everything ready that day, especially I was the first to fly out and started the experiment first.

At the end, the trip was successful. Thank God for that. I appreciated to go somewhere I never been. The only pity is that since I only had one week and the flight were fully booked, I didn't get any free day on my own. Oh well, let's hope for the next time.
