I have been with the same section at work for 9 and a half years. Yah that long. Now you can figure my age. For the past 2 years, there have been changes as to the hiring process. They are now recruiting engineers through agency. Some of the test engineers that we have now are [...]
The high turnover rate at work has been an issue over and over again. I don’t know if it’s being addressed or is it just being ignored noting that it’s not an issue at all. Meaning, it’s a natural occurrence everywhere! It’s not a fire that needs to be stopped before it spreads. It’s more [...]
All the while, i thought that headache is just the same with migraine. Technically, a migraine is a severe recurring vascular headache. I think i’m having both especially after reading what one of my team members wrote in an email later this evening. So, i’m really hoping there’s a migraine headaches pill that i [...]
At the office, i’m confined in a laboratory for at least 10 hours a day. You see, our desks are inside the laboratory as it has become our working area as well. If you ask me, the ergonomics is really bad. I’m not asking for some modern office furniture but at least they could give [...]
From where I’m at, it’s already 10 minutes past 12midnight. Meaning it’s already March 31! It’s the end of the first quarter, whoaah! April’s here and summer’s officially here! Can’t wait! In less than 48hours I’ll be enjoying the beautiful beach of Bantayan Island. One of my friends abroad is envious because he said he [...]
Tomorrow, tomorrow, you’re only a day away. So you might ask? What awaits me for tomorrow? Nothing much really… just a whole day training. It’s really not that interesting if you’ll consider the real context of the word interesting. But I might just have to embrace it. After all, new learnings are good.
Actually it’s [...]
There’s an on going basketball tournament at the office. It’s organized and participated in by basketball enthusiasts within our department. It’s a small inter section league fostered in the hopes to promote camaraderie and sportsmanship. It’s a good form of exercise actually.
As I saw the players run about the four corners of the court [...]
Though i’ve change seats/location for the nth time, it’s still the same set-up. Tables with attached shelves arranged next to each other, separated by the desktop PCs so as to make it your personal space. No individual cube unless you’re a manager. Even the cubicles are just the same from since i started working. Maybe [...]
There’s a little buzz around the office since last week. It’s about a weight loss contest announced by one of my colleagues. She’s working (parttime) for a certain company and they’re sponsoring the contest. The rules are simple and it doesn’t require any particular product or regimen to be taken. Hmmn i could probably just [...]
Ergonomics is defined as the branch of engineering science in which biological science is used to study the relation between workers and their environments. So, i believe each engineering student is familiar with this word. Moreover, i believe that an engineering firm knows such a word. Unfortunately, i don’t feel it’s being adequately addressed at work. A good [...]
