Hello,

My name is Mi-Kyung Im.
I'm working for Agilent Technologies.
Hewlett-Packard was seperated two compnies, HP and Agilent technologies on 1999.
I'm technical engineer, my major is Communication engineering so Now I'm consulting to customer how to test their Network devices.

And I have two little daughters and I live with my families in YoukGuk-Dong.
My husband also technical R&D engineer for Network device, so I can get some advice for new technologies.

Now, I'm very happy because I can work and spend my time with my children.

What is your favorite part about your job? What made you want to become a technical engineer in the first place? Was is pretty hard--school I mean?

How old are your daughters and where do they go to school? What kinds of things are they into these days?

Do your husband and you discuss technical engineering a lot when you're at home?

How do you make time for your children? I envy you. I'm so busy; I want to see my boys more.

My favorite part is Wireline device testers. As you know, we need various network devices to use Internet and emails. Most of NEMs(Network Equipment Manufatuer) have to verify their development devices to sell them to SPs(Service Provider) by testers. So I teach how to use testers and consult testing method. My older sister recommanded that I studied engineering to get a job easy on 1991. so I choosed communication engineering and it was good and interested part. When I was student, everyday I studied Math and Computer engineer etc but it was fun.
My daughters 5 and 3 years old. First daughter go to kindergarden and second one stay home with grandmother. these days they cut pictures from newspaper and put them on each others. First daught is fond of reading. My husband and I talk technical issue a lot when I am in office by MSN or Phone. we don't have time to discuss it at home because childeren want to play with them. My working time is 8:30 to 5:30, sometime I quit early 4:30 or 5:00 then I can come back home early and play with them.

Wow, sounds technical. How long did you have to stay in school to get a degree in communication engineering?

Does your older daughter read to herself or do you read to her? Do you ever speak English to her? By the way, you said that your daughters cut pictures out of newspapers and put them on each other. Did you mean they stuck the pictures all over themselves?

I hope you have some more free time with them soon. See you Saturday.

I stayed 4 years to get the degree in university and also I studied more two years to get education degree in greduate school.

My older daughter read books herself, she started to read a book from 34 months. Sometime I read a book to her if she wants to read a book with me.

Now she's interested to Eglish, so sometime she ask to me how to write a english word such as anminal's name.

these days, she cuts with scissors the line of pictures. it's great!!!
and she likes to draw various pictures, dinosaurs, rabbits, cats, buildings, families and etc.

this week, from last monday to friday, I worked in Daejeon to test Home gateway ( name of network device)in LGDacom R&D. so I couldn't play with daughters. I was sad.

What's new? Have you seen all the snow we're getting? It's really coming down outside, isn't it? Do you have any plans to enjoy the snow with your family? It sounds like your daughter is artistic. Perhaps she'd like to build a snowman with you. Have you ever built a big snowman together?
