Up for Donation

I still have my school textbooks from kindergarten all the way to college and I guess right now I am willing to let go of those really old ones like the ones from my preschool years . I didn’t let them go before thinking that someday I might have a need for them but right now they are taking up much space and are collecting dusts that I think donating them to one of those donate a book cause would be a good idea.

Thank You Microsoft

Windows 7 Promotional Kit

Windows 7 Ultimate

For the first time in 3 years I was actually smiling at something work related.  As you might already know I am under new management, female management this time and I have made a promise to myself that should I be transferred to her team [I did beg her to take me] that I would give her a shot. I have always been partial with female team leads but this time I vow to give it a positive outlook. I was taking calls earlier when the goodies above were distributed … since my team lead was around she convinced the OM and SOM to start distributing these goodies to the agents and our team was the first to get ‘em. Whopppeeee!!!

This is a first for Microsoft and I must say this surely made all of the agents happy … when Windows Vista was released we were hoping we’d be given promotional kits but given that the OS in itself is very very expensive it became just a dream … when Windows 7 was still in the making … some of us did wish to be given a copy but given my experience with the Vista launching, I didn’t think so.

The tech support for Windows 7 did get these goodies first and I thought it was rather fitting for them to be given one but as for us “human switchboards” it was too fancy to be true. Microsoft has been very generous this time and provided everybody our very own copy of a full version copy of Windows 7 Ultimate! not Home Premium but Ultimate … whooooohooooo.

Everybody’s happy and I guess this was the morale booster … everybody has been looking for. They’ve really outdone themselves this time … sure the blankets, mugs, bags and shirts were okay but they were well pretty generic but this … definitely exceeds expectations!

Will they give us promotional kits when Office 2010 gets released???? Crossing my fingers …. lol

Prepare Anywhere

I am one of the many younger people out there who’s in favor and thankful for the internet era which gives us the opportunity to study anywhere at anytime so long as you have your laptop and there’s internet connection. A friend of mine said she can take that vacation in Hawaii and at the same time take the LSAT prep class she found online. Afterall who says you can’t sip pina colada in a two piece while reading your online course material by the beach somewhere in Hawaii??
