Why is crossing the street in the wrong place called "jaywalking"? Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6 In the early 1900s, the word "jay" was slang in the U.S. for a hick, rube, or simpleton -- in other words, a person inexperienced in the ways of the bright lights in the big city. Wordsmiths believe the term "jaywalking" (or "J-walking") originated when cars were relatively new but gaining popularity in cities like Boston and New York. A jaywalker was a newcomer to the city, green to the ways of those modern traffic signals that told folks when they could safely cross the road. The complete Oxford English Dictionary traces the origin of the word to early 20th-century Boston, where sophisticated city folk with little tolerance for rural folk coined the term. In those days, jaywalkers would have encountered Model T's tooling along at the break-neck speed of 20 mph. Today's urban lawbreakers face greater risks, with sports cars, SUVs,

On August 7, 2012, Philippine Government declared cancellation of work on public and private organization including BPOs and Call Center. I am not sure if I'll be happy or not with the news, but with my over 7 years of stint in the industry, and tons of typhoons this country has experienced, this is the first time that the government is interfering with BPOs and Call Center's management. I don't know exactly if they are cognizant how we work and how the operations work here but deciding and interfering just like that and making such comments "that people in the call centers don't care about their people" and "that they look at their people as waterproof", WE DON'T. We definitely care for our people, and just like you, we prioritize their safety and we have the onus on whatever happens in this situation, we are still accountable. MORE THAN GREED: BPOs/ Call Centers cannot simply shut down operations at times like this. Not because w

They say this is a rare phenomenon and has not happened in years. They call it 'syam-syam', or literally 9 days and 9 nights of prolonged rains, but it has been raining for over 9 days, 11 to be exact and they are still expecting to rain until end of this week. It's just too bad especially to our brothers and sisters whom will have to recover and start all over. I know this is one of His challenges  and surely we can pass. Pray for our people's strength and we may continue to come up into You and admit we are weak and only through You we are saved. Pray for everyone's safety and for the rain to stop. #PrayForThePhilippines Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

Keep the faith! Our troubles should not diminish our faith or disillusion us. We should realize that there is a purpose in our suffering. Problems and human limitations have several benefits: (1) they remind us of Christ's suffering for us; (2) they keep us from pride; (3) they cause us to look beyond this brief life; (4) they prove our faith to others; and (5) they give God the opportunity to demonstrate his power. See your troubles as opportunities! Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6
