I am half-dead

This whole week had been rather tired was working. I was helping out with Spikey's uncle who setup offices. The office is located at HarbourFront Tower 1 15th floor. The company is called NYK SHIPMANAGEMENT, a Japanese logistics and mega-carrier provider.

On Tuesday, met up with Spikey, Shah and Yong Kai. Went to the office, but was empty as work had not started. The office is HUGE about the size of half a football field. At 15th floor, the view is magnifcent. You can see Mount Faber at the north, HabourFront, Tangjong Pagar Terminal east and Sentosa and neighbouring islands on the south. The goods were nicely stacked near the lift. Our job was to remove the tables from the packging, load 10 of them on a trolley before placing them at the pillar. Each table weights about 20++kg, 1.5m by 1.5m and need a min of 2 people to carry. We moved a total of 134 tables, that more than a tonne. While opening up the boxes, i cut my hand many times.

Wednesday, Spikey had benn enlisted and Shah not coming, so Kiat Loon and Yi Ming came to joined me. Today we were to put wire support and rubber feet on the brackets of the table. While we worked, others were doing the cabling, setting up new cabinets and the power. After completing this task, we were to insert the cover at the side of the table.

Thursday Kiat Loon had something on, so Yee Ming and me worked. Now our tasks are mainly standard, inserting wirehangers, rubber feet and the covers. As they had to meet the dateline, the uncle asked us to do OT.

Friday was the last day, 85% of the office is ready just left installing of the tables done by the uncle.

A Total of 134 tables

6 brackets form 1 table
10 brackets form 2 tables
16 brackets form 4 tables

1 bracket needs 4 wire hangers
1 table has 12 wire hangers
2 tables have 20 wire hangers
4 tables have 44 wire hangers

1 bracket also has 4 rubber feet
4 tables have 44 rubber feet

6 covers also form 1 table
16 covers form 4 tables

SO for 134 tables,
How many brackets are needed
How many wire hangers are used
How many rubber feet are used
How many covers are used


Give me your answers
