I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0076. Work Swirl (9)

Well, I am not sure wether this is good or bad: This morning, our manager showed us the new organization chart. My title becomes "Project scheduler and MMI Contact". I think this new title just gives me the proper title, because I have been doing those jobs for last half of the years!

0075. Plan

Others may have life completely plan out. But even though I have a direction I would like to head for, I don't know where or what is next. However, my God knows. That's good enough for me.

0073. Work Swirl (8)

I still remember while I was at home this past March, being asked if I am going to back to North America. My answer was yes but I did promise to stay in this company for at least 2-3 years. I didn't think the time for change is near. However, I started to think about the possibility after getting back and talking to my colleagues.

My department has a new group of people. I am more interested in what they do because it is closer related to what I learned in school. The end of June, I had a chance to talk to some of them. I have a feeling that it is not going to be easy to transfer to their group. I doubt their leader will ask me to join them if there is vacancy. Well, experience is one of the blocking factors and the shortage of testing engineers is another one. The new colleague sitting beside me once told me that I am like someone's secretary. My current job is project releases and its scheduling, not much of actual testing. I asked our manager. He can not put me into the position we planed because the shortage of people. Our projects are multiples of last year, which means the work load is multiple. Our team leader has problem to communicate with others. To let work go smoothly, our manager order me to handle the scheduling, which is supposed to be team leader's job.

I am not happy with the whole situation. Well, next March will be my full two year here, which is the time I promised. I will be leaving if the situation is not changed.
