The afternoon consists of more daily work activities. Typically, I work more from my desk in the afternoon as the workers are set up and know what they are doing. It is a good time to conduct more site meetings and assess progress claims.
It is very rewarding learning that the company you work for fills the shelves of so many stores and homes globally, including medicines to save your life down the clothes you wear.
Working in a place where people have diverse life experiences helps me get a fresh perspective and approach tasks or challenges in ways that I otherwise wouldn’t.
