First, I have bad news at the beginning of 2013. A colleague who entered the company with me on 18 july, 2011 is fired. We have been hired trough campus recruitment. We are called “Green apple”due to we are new graduates. But so far the number of green apples has fallen from 25 to 19.

Another thing which I do not know  is good or bad. In 2013, six engineers, including me, will be transferred from R&D to manufactory in our department. So we need no longer fear being fired. Our company cuts R&D engineers only at the end of these two years.

It looks like that famous proverb: God closes a leafed door for you, will open a leaf of window for you.

A year’s plan starts with spring. We Chinese believe that the spring festival is the right moment to review the year past and make plans for the year ahead. There is a little busy in January. With the Chinese New Year approaching, the Americans end their vacation and come back to work, we start products in order to fulfill the new order in the first quarter. So we are always pretty busy when Chinese Spring Festival Holiday is coming.
