Time is up!

Hi Anak,

Today, January 21'09, is the day when it was finally announced that my company will shutdown for good by the end of the year. This has been a season of hard times worldwide. We are still thankful though as we go through this hump as we are not suffering as much unlike the others. Nanay still has her job (at least to this writing), while I may be a 'houseband' soon. I will have severance package naman, so somehow, we'll get through.

I have loved this job - well, I would have not lasted for 14 years if I did not. :) I'll miss a lot of things in my work especially the jargons, like ARs, ITRs, ECD, FMEA, JET, VF, QRA, EMA, PCIe, SATA, CPV, RFS, S9k, etc, etc. We never run out of letters from the alphabet to come up with a fancy jargon. The last one that I have contributed is my latest creation which is called - TLCS! Not Tender Loving CareS. It is a test system that I developed and it means Test Loadboard Checker System. This is the first of its kind worldwide!!! O diba, ang taray ni Tatay! :) The sad part is - this won't have any impact on my Focal Rating since we'll be shutting down.

Anyways, I am very grateful that I have been part of this company. It has provided me a lot of good (and bad) things. Knowing your Nanay is also because I opted to work here, rather than in Nestle.

Yes, the time is up. But this is not the end of the road for me, nor for our family. This company just provides us the means to help us live our dreams.. There will be a new chapter....soon.

God Bless Us.

Love,
Tatay
