Guys,
Pax will be in/out of the office in the next couple of weeks due to medical concerns on his knee (better stop the “lolo” jokes or he might not attend to your IT needs 
). Let us pray for his impending reconstructive surgery and rehab, and support him during this time. Rehab may take anywhere from 3-6 months.
Admin team will make practical arrangements to mitigate effects of his absence. In the meantime, let’s assist him when computer stuff need to be carried between rooms.

EBA likes to share an article from inquirer.net:
THERE ARE no earthquakes in a perfect world. Too bad we don’t live in such a place, as the staggering scope of the destruction in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, reminds us.
In more ways than one, the geological history of the Philippines is similar to that of the island of Hispaniola, where the sovereign states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located.
Like the Philippines, Hispaniola harbors pristine beaches and places where jungles blanket mountains of gold.
Sadly, where gold is found, earthquake faults lurk and spoil the calm of island paradises.
Guys, please take note of the following workstation assignments.
EPK2 would also like to remind us to keep Room 207’s conference table “clean and clear”. 
Benay, Dennis, Dona and Sir Orly are site-based engineers and are not assigned with office workstations. They are free to use any idle workstation whenever they’re in the office though.

If members of our technical staff will be brave enough to take this on, AMH management will support. - an all-UP team is not necessary. Feedback?

[UPDATE] Transfer finished! 2:00PM
Please be advised that we are transferring our Intranet to http://192.168.0.2 today. We don’t expect any downtime on our intranet services during the move but we’re issuing this announcement anyway.
Please continue to use http://192.168.0.4 until completion of the transfer.
1. The cameras are kept by Admin. Please tell Admin if you’re borrowing one and please return it to Admin after use. If you’re getting the camera from a previous user directly, please tell Admin that you’re doing so. That way, Admin knows where the cameras are and have a ready answer to queries about them.
2. Erase the pictures on the camera AFTER USE as courtesy for the next user.
3. Advise Admin about the battery status of the unit AFTER USE. That way arrangements can be made to replace them as needed.
This is an OFFICIAL MEMO.

Please be advised of our new payroll schedule effective January 2010. Salaries for work rendered from the 1st to the 15th will be given on the 19th of the current month while salaries for work rendered from the 16th to 31st of the month will be given on the 4th of the succeeding month. This is being implemented to reduce the two-week lag of the salary cut-off in the current system to a four-day lag to be able to monitor expenses efficiently.
For the month of January, the 16-31 December 2009 and the 1-15 January 2010 salary will be given on the 19th of the month minus the initial salary received upon employment in the company to adjust with the current real-time system for the salary schedule.
To assist members of our staff with possible deficits in expenses for the week prior to the next salary issuance, cash advances with a maximum value of Php 2,000.00 may be requested upon release of this advisory, payable in two months through salary deduction.
In relation to this new payroll schedule, please take note of the following deadlines for submission of TRF’s to our Admin/HR Staff:
- For salary release dated 19th of the month - 16th of each month or the first working day [thereafter] in case the 16th falls on a weekend or holiday
- For salary release dated 4th of the month - 1st of the succeeding month or the first working day [thereafter] in case the 30th/31st falls on a weekend or holiday
Please note that failure to submit the TRF on schedule result in delayed release in salaries. Please cooperate with these schedules in order for our Admin/HR Staff to have sufficient time to process these data while attending to their other responsibilities
Thank you.
(Note: This is a copy of HRD-2010-04 issued by EPK2 last 13 January 2010, words in “[]” are the editor’s notes. It’s being posted here for everybody’s guidance.)
We’re shaking things a little bit so some dust is bound to go your way. We hope to get things settled down before January 23.
BTW, the use of the url “192.168.0.4″ is temporary, so don’t get too attached to it. We’ll revert it back to 192.168.0.2 OR to a fully qualified domain name like intranet.amhphil.com if all things work out as expected.
