Just around Christmas, I received an exciting news from work that I'll be going to Mexico to do a product transfer from Johnson&Johnson, one of the biggest players in Medical Devices. The trip has been postpone over and over and it's finally happening. Preliminary schedule for my USA work trip is out. We should be leaving SG on 14 Apr and be there for about 3 weeks. We will first be at San Francisco for 3 days to do a small product transfer from our sister company at SILICON VALLEY! Should be a easy project and we'll have half to one day to chill in San Francisco. Sux that it's so short but we are there for work so be thankful.
We will then fly down to El Paso, Texas where we will be staying for the rest of our trip. J&J's facility is juz across the border at Juarez, Mexico. Apparently it isn't too safe for us to stay there, so a private van with 2 security guards is arranged to escort us cross border from El Paso to Juarez daily. Sounds exciting right, like illegal immigrants. hahahaha....
The sad part is that there's practically nothing to do at El Paso and that we have insane working hours =( 13hr shifts for 2-3 days a week + 2 Saturdays.... Work starts at freaking 6am!!! Shopping is sad sad sad too. The closest decent factory outlet is 10hrs drive away. Looks like it's gonna be online shopping all the way...
Most importantly, my boy's birthday falls on 17 Apr when I'm scheduled to leave on 14 Apr =(
