Are you sure you can multi task?
I saw the lifehacker’s article about people claiming they can multi task. Some researchers found out that
In a test of the degree of organisation of working memory, participants were presented with a series of letters, one at a time, and told to push a button when they saw a letter that they had seen exactly three letters previously.
Again, low multitaskers were significantly better at correctly spotting the repeated letters. Not only did the high multitaskers do worse from the beginning, they got worse at it as time went on.
So basically means you are just full of crap when you say you can actually multitask.
I also found a game for multitaskers though 
I had 70 points before my head exploded 
Pregnancy not a cause for expulsion anymore – INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos
I got to post this one as I know a lot of friends got expelled because they got pregnant while at school.
Now women have the magna carta. Cool Job Senator Cayetano.
Here’s what included with the Magna Carta for Women,
The Magna Carta of Women likewise recognizes the specific circumstances of women in sports (Section 14); the military (Section 15); those belonging to marginalized sectors including women in especially difficult circumstances (Section 30, includes victims of sexual and physical abuse, trafficking, prostitution and armed conflict, etc.), girl-children (Section 32) and women senior citizens (Section 33).

Reasons why I am an expensive VICIDIAL Consultant for the Philippines and anywhere else.
I often get some inquiries about my quotes and stuff. Often they find that Im expensive and considering that it is an open source software and their budget is limited. I often tell them they are more than welcome to go find another consultant that can accommodate their budget. 90% of those who went to cheaper consultants find themselves talking to me again after their very expensive learning experience. Well they get what they pay for.
First and foremost, I don’t just accept clients. I don’t care about being promised that they will give me more business in the future or they are planning to expand and if I will just take 200 usd to make their system work and they will pay more in the future. Nope, you can go somewhere else. Please dont bother me again.
The basic requirement that I often accept is that the client is willing to pay what he wanted for. For sure as hell that Im also going to commit my time fixing what ever he paid me for. This kind of client I want and all my clients are like this. They know the value they are getting, they have no qualms of paying for it.
Secondly, my capabilities as a consultant. Im the only 2 person recommended VICIDIAL consultants here in the Philippines. The other one is Bobby Suson the owner of NextIX. Me and some friends founded VICIDIALNOW, which is now called vNOWinc. Im no longer connected with the company though. Im also a moderator of the official VICIDIAL forum . I think thats enough credential to establish myself that Im very well versed in VICIDIAL.
Thirdly. Take a look at this
This sums up my rant. I am winding down again.
my take on that le cirque bruhaha made by PGMA
I don’t know why they are making a big mess about it. She’s a head of state. If you are a head of state you don’t go to mcdonalds or any fast food joint to have dinner right?
Some said that because its a travesty to eat on a fancy restaurant while a lot of the people are starving in the country. I find that a hypocritical comment. If I remember correctly someone said that if you are on a high position you should get the perks you are entitled to.
Im losing steam on my argument cos of laziness but really the main point there is that she is the head of state. Its funny to go find another head of state to go eat on a cheap place. Only hypocrites will go protest about it. But remember what kind of respect will she get if she goes cheap.
with minimal expenses(mostly hardware) you get to have a predictive dialer.
Yep,
VICIDIAL is actually free. But you need to buy your own servers. As you can see, here’s a screenshot of a client of mine running VICIDIAL on 130 seats and counting (will post screen shot when they hit 180)

Anyhow Im available for consulting

Disclaimer: This post is by my personal views only not the whole vicidialNOW company.
I am thinking about the features you the users may want to include on vicidialNOW distro. After all you are the users of the wonderful open source and free astguiclient/VICIDIAL Call Center Suite.
The auto installation made possible by vicidialNOW made life easier to consultants and users everywhere. Yes we know some consultants are using the distro we made to their clients and that’s not a bad thing AS LONG AS THEY TOLD THE CLIENTS WHAT THEY ARE INSTALLING ARE OPEN SOURCE AND FREE TO DOWNLOAD. That’s what vicidialNOW is all about, educating users.
So ok back to the original intention of this post. I want to ask the users of the distro what features they want on the auto installer and contribute it. I mean you can’t just ask that this be included without doing something about it right? I mean you want something then help us make it happen. Be pro active! That’s the spirit of Open Source and GPL. Contributing back to the community.
So be proactive. Help us make this better. After all you are the one who are going to use it anyway.
We as the vicidialNOW company are also doing our best to give our clients and you the best possible experience in using VICIDIAL. We need your help, even Matt Florell is not god that we just have to wait until he fixes the bugs. We need to help each other out.
