Histo in History

Yesterday morning..i checked my mail for any happy news e.g offer letter or something close to it..but i end up with a sad news from the folks in sydney....

Dear Zul,
miss you, do you miss us? news news news histoderm is no more. we have
been made redundant! heard last week at the beach where else, that
things are bad in malaysia, do you have a job? how is sherri doing? when
are you coming back? try puppy tia @ hot mail! gotta go,let us know how
you are doing.
arlene mark and poopy

I was shocked!!...took me awhile to gather myself before i was able to read that email again and again..i just couldn't believe my eyes that they were made redundant in an instant. In a way..i was glad that i didn't took up the permanent position when they offered me a working visa last year..but sad coz these ppl are my friends...
Today, i called arlene..and she explained everything in detail...their last day will be tomorrow...the HQ wants to consolidate labs in sydney..so they're forcing everybody to move up to rhodes...north of sydney....well not everybody though..they're terminating couple of ppl..and offered VSS to mark and arlene. Since both of them have served in the lab more than 10yrs..the package seems to be worth it. Mark already got a job in another lab and starts in the coming monday..arlene is planning to take it easy for couple of weeks before applying any jobs in the maroubra area.She hates the thought of driving for more than 20 minutes to work... Hui and Jeanelle took up a position in rhodes since both of them are new to the team so no vss would be worth it for them. Gaby the office jerk resigned...julie and sharon still looking for a job i guess..annete the liason officer..a total bit*h from rhodes terminated with 24hrs notice..or maybe less. She came in the morning...the boss gave her the axe..she packed her bag and personal stuff...the boss followed her to the company car...cleared all her stuff...followed her to lobby and waited until she got into the taxi..just incase she goes berserk and start killing the top managemen with a stapler..

So, the pictures i took before i left will be a lasting memory of that place...all the best guys..
