在摩托罗拉剩余的日子 : 111 Days
Very soon, we will enter the last 100 days of our "transition phase". I volunteered and started engaging our 2 vendors who provides Career Transition services to come down to our office to give our employees a talk and overview on what the workshop will be about and how it can help us. Everyone will definately signed up since this is covered by Motorola. I see no reason why we should not.
On the other hand, Nz requested some of our managers to form up a S.W.A.T. team to "help" some of our colleagues to get a job. There were things like organising our own job fair, arranging career talks, networking with other company HR managers to see if there are positions available. Apparently, he feels that everyone is sitting there wasting their time and should be doing something more meangingful instead of playing kaixin.net, facebook or just surfing their day away.
Well at least to my knowledge, many of us are already venturing into entreprenurship. I know of at least 4 groups who are diong such. Nevertheless, I will continue to work on this SWAT thing even though i am already very busy with other stuff. Well, thats probably one of the last things i can do for the department , if it is really useful.

HTC Magic
Saw the advertisement on the Saturday Straits Time. This wasnt in my budget planning. I am supposed to get a good printer ( probably Canon MP988 ) and maybe Canon D500 SLR camera.
Went down to paragon to take a look at this 2nd android phone that is released by HTC in the market and boy i fell in love with it immediately.
1. The physical size, especially its thickness is now greatly reduced with the removal of the hardware qwerty keyboard.
2. It comes preload with CupCake ( Android Firmware 1.5 ) which should be pushed to the HTC Dream version sooner or later. Tons of features and upgrades on Cupcake compared to the current version. ( whats the current version codename call ? )
3. Although i will miss the hardware keyboard which allows me to type relatively faster, but when i tried out the HTC Dream soft keyboard, it is quite responsive and it has a numeric keypad SMS input ( The conventional handphone sms way ) which i always liked. The reason is because i can actually send sms without looking at the phone ( it should have tactile feedback on keypress ) . So i guess this is give and take.
4. The battery life performance reported is significantly better. It should be able to last more than a day according to reviews that i have read.
5. I can trade in my HTC Dream for $400!! That makes this dude about $198 with a 2 yr contract.
I must get it! I probably get a cheaper printer and put camera plans on hold for this month :P

在摩托罗拉剩余的日子 : 116 Days
Havent Blog about my remaining days in Motorola for the past week . Main reason is really there is nothing much changes. The usual stuff of entering office, read a few unread mails which are not really life and death critical situation, and then start working on some of my own stuff. Thats what happen to most of the team in the office. Some came late, some came in to mend their farm in kaixin.net, some managed their restaurant in Restaurant City, some try to break their high score or personal best in Bejeweled Blitz.
There are others who started studying for their PMP exams. A few of my colleagues already taken and already passed and can be call "Certified Project Managers"
As for myself, I have submitted my credentials to PMI, was expecting them to send me a confirmation by this week but did not get a response. Probably next week, SC commented i could be the lucky one that gets audited. Well , if they want to audit me, I am okay, since i have that 4500 hours that the requested. I am already in the industry for 8 years !!
Other than the PMI, I started contacting the Recruitment OUtplacement service for the department. The services are paid by Motorola and is supposed to provide the employees who are going to exit in September a better understanding about themselves and how they can discover the next step in their career.
Of course and not forgetting Multiclickz. I just need to put more time on it. Workload is getting higher.
