An Unbelievably Stupefying Encounter

The other day, I was instructed by my client to hire two girls who could be my home based virtual assistants so I immediately dug up a collection of resumes’ in my inbox and started scanning through each one of them. One of the applicants held a special spot in my heart because she was recommended by a very dear friend. Besides, this girl’s CV reflected call center experience which is of utmost importance to me.

After picking up a handful of prospective interviewees, I started sending out messages to each one of them, the girl being on  my personal “priority list”.

After about fifteen minutes, she went online and I went ahead with the interview process.

Little did I know that the interview will be a major mishap and a comedy of horrors of some sort, something that I unwillingly subjected myself into and an incident that taught me the biggest corporate lesson of my life…

The Trend of Being Good [ramble]

During the late 2007, people may have heard frequent news of people bringing back large sums of money and documents that are pretty valuable than your life and schmoes that are too stupid to leave them behind.

My mom and I joked that it was more of an ‘it thing’. Is it really the trend of doing good? Or is it really the trend of people being stupid and sensible people being ultimately annoyed by it?

I believe it all amounts to everything that’s happened around us. The growing awareness of the oppressed against the oppressor and the realizing that the real evil is more in the smarter people than in the incapable people.

You know what I’m getting at.
It turned out to be a joke. The people who fought for their own independence and truth were being cheated on their own backs. Gawdness.  

 

Yahoo acquired by Microsoft?

Early this month Microsoft proposed a 42- billion-dollar acquisition of Yahoo, a classic case of a buyer overbidding to blow any potential competitors out of the water said James Owers, a Georgia State University professor of corporate finance. Suprisingly, I found this while exploring Flickr, a popular online photo management and sharing application acquired by Yahoo almost 3 years ago, in search for the best online gallery solution. Holy smoke, what does Office Live gallery ad doin’ in Flickr?

Moral Bankruptcy

A flag refusing to be raised up the pole, a hymn abandoned by the music, and confettis reluctant to fall on a defiled shrine. For the believers in tragedy and superstition, these are just three things that cast a swelling reminder that the commemoration of the EDSA revolution right smack where history was cemented about two decades ago must be a signal from the heavens. It is nothing short of a testimony to the prostitution of the spirit of EDSA, one which is grotesquely subservient and a flattery to the lapdogs of GMA both at the same time, or much less an anorexic parody to one of the cornerstones of history. But for less trivial people who are doubtful of tragedy and superstition, the moral bankruptcy in the present administration can never be associated with these three things for whatever that they may symbolize. Even more so, the moral bankruptcy in the present administration is nowhere near the EDSA celebrations yesterday. It is, quite frankly and by all means, in the Palace.
