My first job was at the Implementation, Coordination, and Development Administration Unit (ICDAU) in the then-Prime Minister’s Department. My first boss was Clifford Francis Herbert.

On the first day of work, when three of us reported to ICDAU at the PM’s Department, the administration officer assigned us to one shared room. The entire morning we were left to ourselves. Since we were in the PM’s Department, we were even afraid of wandering around as we were in a Class One security area.
