Refurbised laptops

With so many shops doing techie solutions these days, buying a refurbished laptop had already become an intelligent alternative to the brand new offers. Refurbished laptops may be ordered according to the buyers’ specs and the result is a very inexpensive gadget. Compared to a brand new equipment, the difference should make the buyer turn around and reconsider. Get an honest techie on your town and ask for a quote.

Tip for salesmen

Just today, I received tons of life insurance quotes for my people and that is supposed to be just fine. However, I found most of such proposals to be not at all useful for I needed and asked for something else. I needed a package that incorporates life, health and accident benefits. Giving me just a parcel of what I need made the entire exercise very futile. My advices to all salesmen—just give what the customers need.

Lazy SUnday evening

Having talked about vanity a few posts back, I received a lot of notes from people some giving advices and others asking for a few. There is this one who asked for the shop selling inexpensive pond pumps which is totally irrelevant to the topic of vanity but I find worthy of posting here. My place recently went through bad times and pumps are something that are quite important for my community. I will write about it soon.

Employee Benefits

With the year about to end, it is but imperative that I start asking for insurance quotes for my employees. Accident and health insurance are standard benefits that my employees are entitled to. It gives them peace of mind and protects the company form unforeseen events that may possibly threaten our books and very existence. It was generally a good year despite doomsday predictions made by a lot of people. Let’s hope that next year will be better.

Looking Good

My irregular working hours in the outsourcing industry has made a mess out my vain self. Puffy eyes and dark orbital calls for the use of the best eye cream in order to restore my facial area to what it was. You know (as Manny Pacquiao likes to say), Working so hard and making so much money will be meaningless if one will end up being ugly. Keep thyself beautiful.

Party Time!

I had a dream seeing my how friend Toto sinks in a tub of whipped cream during our outsourcing firm’s Christmas party. If reality will be half as good as my dream, this year’s party will really be smashing. Outsourcing had become a major economic activity in the city where I live in and therefore, it is but right that its employees also have fun.

Imagine Life Before Computers

My warehouses are badly in need of POS systems in order to properly track the movement of goods. With so many items going in and out, the need to have a good system arises by the day. Our current system already makes use of computers but nothing beats a good software created specifically for the purpose of tracking the movement of goods,

Cleaning Up

The recent flood that hit my home gave us good reason to renovate our house and finally install that long dreamt of stone bathroom sink. The old one still looks good and not even days of it being submerged in flood waters stained it to kingdom come. Actually, our power washer did such a good job that no mud stain ever remained anywhere in the house.

Driving Pointers

A serious discussion at the office cafeteria today was whether motorhome towing is just as tough as speedboat towing. My take on the matter, as I shared with my colleagues, is that weight is the most basic consideration whenever one measures the degree of towing difficulty. But how difficult or how light the load being towed may be, one should always drive with extreme caution. For one, the length of the vehicle automatically increases. The maneuvering difficulty also goes up by several notches.

Especially when going uphill or downhill, one should always engage the low gears and drive slowly. Curves should be dealt with slowly and deliberately and one should make sure that the breaks are ion excellent condition.

Online Degrees

This is something good for those connected with the outsourcing industry, most specially, those who are working from their homes. While a college degree is not an absolute necessity for success, it an undisputed fact that having one increases the odds in one’s favor. However, not all of us have the time to go to school on a full time basis. In such instances, nothing’s probably better than an online degree from the Western Governors University where getting a college diploma, even up to the masters degree online is not only possible. It is also affordable and accredited by the government. Most of us have heard stories about fly by night establishments selling bogus diplomas. With Western Governors University, I don’t think that will happen.
