Yeeehah!

This is in continuation to my last blog post.

With its unusual working hours, the outsourcing industry might be a good source of people with adult acne. However, the flow of cash that the telecom tower business might bring, it is probably very much worth all the zit that we can possibly get. The telecom business is rapidly growing and getting a contract to host towers for all the cellular phone companies should bring in a lot of revenues

Win - Win!

Talk about a win- win scenario. If it pushes through, our dream Orlando vacation might just become a reality sooner than we dreamt about it and more often than we actually thought possible. According to Economic Times of the website, Indiatimes dot com, Telecom companies are better off selling their cell towers to outsourcing companies.

Outsourced Jobs in Healthcare

A bit of public service: For those people looking for jobs in healthcare, the keyword is linked and they should know what to do. Incidentally, healthcare is something that is hugely outsourced. Medical Transcription, for instance is a huge money making business for India until a few years ago. Today, I am not really sure but I think, it should still be a lucrative business. Now, as a former MT guy, I still wish that those US docs would speak more clearly.

Protect our BPO employees

I am now contemplating whether it is advantageous or not for me to invest in a health savings account. By all accounts, these kinds of policies are fine but I have to make sure.

However, let us not ignore the issue and take on the AIDS problem head on. Let’s protect the BPO industry by guarding its employees.

Exercise,Exercise, Exercise

I am wondering if treadmills are a standard fare in most outsourcing facility. Instead of these young employees killing time indulging in fantasies, they are better blowing off stem by burning calories. In a recent study, it seems that a lot of these young people have indulged in a lot of unsafe activities that endangered their health. That is not so good, if you know what I am talking about.
