Things been really busy lately... but it is all for the best!!! I've been tasked with many new tasks... but I know I am making alot of progress in everyone of them. Well... Hsiu Hsiu is here this week... I am in heaven...
Oh ... I just bought a new HD... 160 gigs of hard drive space for 93 bucks and free shipping too!!!!
oh mine oh mine!!!
Today is a great day!!! After 6 month ... I finally have an official learning curve from my director. So now I have definite goals. I also found out that I am getting my 3 % pay adjustment and I and getting some additional percentage adjustments for progressing on my learning curve. WOO HOO!!! on top of all that ... I also found out that I am going to the NAB conference in April. Exciting times!!!!
So I am still up... it is already 1:50 am and almost 2:00 am... why am I up? well, my fiancee and I are watching the elections in Taiwan... GO KMT!!!! it is very exciting ... even though we are so far away, but the issues in Taiwan are still important to us!!!
Well, after a long trip and couple of nap today... I think I am good for work on Monday. Well, as for my down server... sorry everyone.. but it is back up now. I will try to update all the pictures as soon as possible. BTW, Hsiu Hsiu parents approved... so WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!! ... so when is the wedding date? we are probably looking at the beginning of 2005. But we are looking at wedding dresses for her and wedding pictures for us. Oh ... I am open to honey moon locations!!
Well... I really mess up today... I accidently turned off my server in Ephrata, WA. So this means, everything will be down until this weekend. Oh well... that's ok .. I will continue to write and continue to take pcitures....
Don't worry ... it will be ok.... by this weekend... sorry guys...
So... Today starts the second full day that I am here in Taiwan. I think I am over the time lag thing. I woke up this morning fully charged ... It is currently... 7:24 am Tuesday morning. So I guess everyone is wondering how did everything go? Actually beside the trip from US to Taiwan being a little bit tiring... everything actually went very, very well. My father and Hsiu Hsiu's father talk a while about our future and so far so good. I think Thursday we are going to make some official plans. As for pictures? well... so far ... I just have pictures of food. I mean .. I know I said this before ... but taiwan's food is one of the best in the world. For example ... yesterday... Hsiu Hsiu's family took us to a 4 Star teriyaki restaurant. You wouldn't think that a teriyaki restaurant would be that good... but I have to say... you are wrong... The food was incredible.
Well, I am in Japan now... waiting for my flight to Taiwan. I found this open internet terminal... The guy that was here left 10 minutes of time for me to type and play with. Anyway... I found that my US currency is useless here... and since I am only here for 3 hours, it isn't really cool to get it converted just to use the internet. Anyway... Should be in taiwan in another 5 hours.
Well, today is my last day in us before i am on the plane to taiwan. I an currently sitting in the airport typing on my wap blog. Am i nervous? heck yeah! And coffee sure did not help. Well, I've got until 12:30 before we start to board, so I better charge up all my batteries while I still can. wall jacks are pretty hard to find in Sea Tac's S terminal.
Wow... what a day so far... Well.. around lunch ... I found out my team supervisor has turned in his resignation. Yes, this is the guy who interview and hired me. He is the one that introduced me to how awesome it would be to work here. Well, he is gone now. In the period of 6 month.... I lost the two main guys that brought me on-board. The director that hired me is gone, and now the supervisor that hired me is gone. Hummm... why do I have a feeling that this happened to me before? I feel like I am back in Sonat again????
I hope things will get better... I am just a little bit stress out about it, that is all....
Today, I got news that one of my former co-worker is moving to Seattle to work for Microsoft. Wow... that is awesome and congrats to him. I guess the Houston situation isn't looking any better. That really sucks... especially when I have still have a house in Houston.
I've been in Ephrata for almost 6 months. Wow... time really flies... and speaking of time flying ... 3 more days and I am on the plane to Taiwan. WOW!!! am I excited? heck yeah... but I need to get all my work stuff done first... I got to do my self eval so I can get my raise when I came back from Taiwan..... Yeah... Mo' money Mo' money ... mo' money!!!
