*Free time defined as, I can do whatever I want to do. Most of the time I end up sitting on the computer for any readings which can help me boost my confidence in my trading and investing strategies. Reading Company Quarterly financial statement is one that is time consuming.

*Situational awareness defined as, in my position assumed I got to have awareness and control of what is going on around the workplace. My crew knows what to do but for any managerial decision and questions on technical level of safety I have to be prepared to take such responsibility in this case, be aware of what is currently going on to have an idea of what is there to decide and answer if situation demands.
