Hello, everyone. Hope you have a great time.

As I mentioned yesterday, once I returned from vacation I receivedbad news, which most of you already know. As you remember I work in the Automotive Industry as part of Quality Assurance and Customer Service for a Canadian Company. My main client (and only in a technical way) is General Motors. We (meaning, the company I work for) received the news that GM Silao (The main plant in Mexico for assembly) will be shutdown from may 18th until July 13th. That's eight weeks. Even my other client, who supplies material for GM plant in Arlingotn will be closed from May 11th until July 13th, which is worst because it is nine weeks! What does that mean? Not only there will be a lot of lay offs from both plants possibly, all the people who get to stay will have to deal vacation, extra times and possibly earning just half their salary for that period. Suppliers will have their earnings low due to the lack of sales. THis is only the point of the iceberg. A total of 13 plants among USA and Mexico are closing during similar times, so the impact will be huge for GM and suppliers.

SInce I will be out of work for that time, (no production, no activities for me), I am still in a limbo. WHat will happen, I don't know. What will happen to my salary? and with my job? I can't even be transferred since our main client is down! I am more worried that previous times, but I know everything should be OK. Of course I won't be just haning around during that time. It is a good opportunity to plan a new business or finish my Master Thesis and other stuff. Anyway, I will make updates about this as soon as I find out more.

In the gaming world, I am enjoying a lot FallOut 3. I just finished a couple of quests that took me around 5 hours... Those five hours I didn't even feel them. They just passed. The game is so addictive and immersive. I love exploring so much that I sometimes forget about the quests. Now I have new quests but I think I will keep exploring to get money and stuff.

BTW, I really, really hate Mirelurks, and I know they are not even the toughest rivals around (Yeah, I rather battle a Super Mutant Brute... they have charisma at least). I will keep you posted about my progress in the game.

Just to finish. I will be updating more often my Twitter. I like it, I don't know why... If you have one, my Twitter is StanHigareda (go figure ) Add yours in your comment if you want.

See you around and have a great time

Regards
