    Emails about transfer

    到新基地已经两天了,逐渐适应了这里新的工作环境。这几天陆续收到老板和同事们发来的邮件:

    老板发的邮件:

    Ladies and Gents,

    FYI, Wei has been transferred effective Nov. 1st to Marmul.

    Wei has been in Fahud for over a year and now it is time for a new challenge. I'm certain that he will take the knowledge he acquired in Fahud and make a difference & strong impact in Marmul.

    Wei, all the best and good luck in your new adventure with SLB. Thank you for your valuable contributions to Fahud. You will be always welcomed to come back and visit us.

    Regards,
    Haytham

    大老板发来的邮件:

    Wei,

    I was impressed with your work ethic and attitude during your time in Fahud, one of my favorite inventors once said that 'Genius is no substitute for hard work.'.  I think that you understand that and I know it will serve you well.

    Good luck and keep in touch.

    Regards,

    Ben


    同事发的邮件:

    My dear Cased Hole team,

    If I get your attention for at least one line I, would like to summarize the intention of this e-mail by quoting:

    "The Whole is Greater than the Sum of All its Parts"
    (not really sure by whom or what year this was quoted)

    This is only true if all parts are aimed in the same direction.  This way they become a sum.  If the parts are not focused in the same direction, they become a difference...or subtraction. (Lewes 1875, p. 412)(Blitz 1992)

    Success Story - Proper use of Handover Notes and our big man "Frank"
    With the news of Mr. Wei "Frank" Cui's departure I would like to share with you all a bit of a success story about Mr. Wei.  Since the CLC arrived to Fahud, it has been nothing but problems for almost every engineer that used it.  Most of the engineers jotted down their issues after their job.  When Wei was assigned to this unit, he took it upon himself to work his butt of and tackle all items in these handover sheet so that he can provide a working unit not only for himself but for anyone else who may use it.  Of course it wasn't Wei himself who did it, it was a lot thanks to his crew, Libert, and our support staff...but overall it was Wei who initialized the need for improvement and made the push forward.

    Thanks Wei and all his helpers for providing our base with a much improved unit!!  (now it's time to knock on wood and hope I didn't jinx anything).

    我给老板和同事们的回信:

    Dear Fahud colleagues,
     
    I am sorry that I donot have time to say Goodbye to everybody, but I really appreciate for your help and
    support during my days in Fahud. I learn a lot of knowledge, skills and experiences everyday in Fahud, and
    more important, I am really proud that I have chance to work with you -- the most outstanding, brilliant and
    friendly people in the world. Experience in Fahud will be one of my most valuable memories in whole life.
     
    If you come to Marmul, or my home country China, please donot hesitate to give me a call, and I will be very glad to
    show you around and cheer together. You can always find my latest contact information on LDAP.
     
    Thanks again. Good luck!
     
    Sincerely,
    Wei Cui

    Transfer to Marmul

    今天刚从一个出了无数问题的Coiled Tubing Job回来,就接到调令,明天开始transfer到另外一个基地。到那之后,我将是那里唯一的cased hole engineer,不能再像在Fahud这里一样可以两个工程师一块上井互相帮忙了,想想觉得有些发怵。想到要离开Fahud这里的这些好朋友们,也不由得感到一些难过。anyway,服从命令是field engineer的第一要务,不管是怎么样也只能硬着头皮上了。
