MSC update

Well.. I am suppose to hear if I got the job by the end of this week.. BUT,, I got an email yesterday that said the HR rep I am suppose to be contacted by will be out of the office the rest of the week at the OHIO facility. So if I am reading between the lines correctly I will not hear anything until the end of next week..

I don't remember praying for patience..

D-Day +1

Well.. things are still in limbo here.. Frank, my pfizer supervisor, said that he doesn't care what we do today. We can look for jobs, try to learn some new methods to make us more profitable in our job searches. He said that they are not forceing anyone out for atleast nine months.. But things will be changing. they will be moving some of the project to other locations and with that people and equipment will be leaving.

worst case.. doors close and people that don't get moved are out of a job.. Best case.. some big company or start up buys this site and we keep working. example this location use to be park davis next day it was pfizer nothing changed but the name..

we will see.. I plan on emailing MSC today.

Still looking for a Job..

Well I found out today that Pfizer will close the Ann Arbor Research Site.. That is where I am right now. Just started last week. Supposibly the doors are scheduled to be shut in nine months. My immediate future right now is not clear. I don't know if I will be able to stick around until then. My supervisor told me I could go home early today and to come back tomorrow, or I could stick around and surf the internet. So I am going to stick around watch the webcast of the announcement and get paid alittle bit more. I will update you as I hear more.

Still haven't heard from MSC.. But I talked to the manager and he said it is in HR's court now.. I hope to hear from them soon.

1st Day at Pfizer..

Well I started at Pfizer today.. It was pretty cool. The place is HUGE. there are about 2500 people that work there.. If I remember correctly. I could be wrong. Here is an example of how big it is.. I work in building 28 which is a three story with a "basement" which is where I work. The basement is really just a ground floor, about two feet below ground. Some kind of building regs in Ann Arbor.. can't have a Four story building.. ruins the sky line. But it should be interesting work and the people in my group all seem really nice.

Still haven't heard back from MSC.. I will call tomorrow to see what is up.. I really don't think that they have checked all my references yet.

3rd interview or 4th depending how you see it..

I got another call from MSC tonight. I have an interview with the Head of HR on Friday the 12th.. It has been narrowed down to me and one other person. So maybe I will find out something for real afterwards.. That Friday is also my last day with Wacker.. So I will probably work a half day after the interview.

The 16th will be my first day with Pfizer depending on how things go with MSC.. So it will be an exciting few days in the coming weeks. Thank you for keeping me uplifted in prayer.
