Back home again, my time with PDO is over, at least for now.
It is what might be called a bittersweet moment –
Working for PDO was great, but I guess my problem is that I need excitement, challenges perhaps, or just the need to feel I am making a difference. A huge ongoing 3D in a featureless environment with a stagnated and inward looking crew is not for me.
I am very pleased to have had the opportunity to work for PDO though, and I think we parted on good terms.
In my time there, I saw PDO as a company that is quite open to ideas – even quite radical ones and are willing to test.
In fact just before I left, we tested a bunch of different sensors –
- MEMS
- Low frequency geophones
- High sensitivity geophones
- Active geophones
- And most interestingly, High sensitivity, Low frequency geophones.
As the test results are of course property of PDO, I won’t say much here except that we are possibly on the edge of a big change in sensor technology, and it does not look like MEMS to me.
So, now I am back looking for work. Not an unusual situation I admit, but one I hope ends soon.
Have to say I am enjoying the golf though.
