Situation, situation

Just funished meeting with Stec. I just can't believe that someone could help me diligently like that. I really appreciate it.
On the other hand, I will have a difficult time dealing with bev and dave when the time has come for me to leave Ampex. The sooner, the better. 
Meanwhile, I will wait for Cisco to get back to me. It will be very good to get back to Cisco to build up my expertise in supply management.
The situation will probably force me to choose Cisco over Stec, just as I did 2 years ago when I chose Cisco over Samsung.

City workers vote to strike.

Palo alto seiu-represented workers plan to strike. 617 workers earn ana average $72,662 a year, $3900 overtime... other benefits, too. Their positions include utilities maintenance, secretaries, janitors..  that's outrageous. Those people are shameless.

Ampex

Have not even have time to blog about the interview process and experience with Ampex. I am already temping there. It has been 3 days since Wednesday (8/19). Compared to other companies' long process of selecting, screening, intereviewing, second-interviewing, etc, Ampex was a very speedy one. I never thought that I would be asked to start working the very next day.

Well, so far so good. Definitely a start-up environment where people wear many hats. But I have to be fare and square that I have already promised to go back to Cisco if given a chance. So, I will stay just as long as I can with Ampex. I hope that I will not have to stay long. The longer it is, the harder it becomes.

Oh, well, one thing very interesting is that my job title says "administrative assistant". I am very surprised that Apple1 gave me this position. I even turned down the opportunity to be presented at the beginning.
