Day 26: 17 May – First day at the office

No need to get up so early today. At 8.30 we leave to take a bus. However, the bus we are waiting for seems not to come, so we take a taxi to work, which is only 2 dollars. At work I start with a meeting with the managers, where Miguel starts explaining that it is important to arrive on time. The others meet me with a comprehensive look. The rest of the meeting followed with each giving updates about what is going on in their expertise.
Afterwards I go with some guys to the toaster (conquistador), where they do sorting and pealing, toasting, grinding and packaging. The toaster processes coffee from two other enterprises next to EScoffee. I get to see the whole process, but it’s too noisy and the people are too busy to ask many questions. Meanwhile the guys are carrying heavy bags of coffee.

The rest of the day I am in the office working on a funds for EScoffee and surfing the internet, because it has been days since I was able to. We have lunch in another office of EScoffee, where they serve vegetarian food by default, because the chef has converted to Hinduism. At 7.30pm we leave the office.
