First Day

The lady that picked me up at the motel that morning was Marlene McCormick, she delivered me to the personnel office at Dowty to be processed.

The front building and office were quite modern, walking in past the reception, the stress office was on the right and the drawing office to the left. The management resided upstairs and in the middle of it all was the coffee station, conveniently placed near to the washrooms.

It was an interesting day, I was introduced to a lot of people and shown my desk, which was right at the front of the bus. I was introduced to the Stress Office manager, a gruff chap called Jim Collins who felt almost like a drill sergeant, Initially though I would report directly to the Chief of Stress, Barry Levoir.
