The school year is about to end, like most of the kids, Chelsea is excited to start her vacation, she even told us about her plans for her vacation, seems funny but this is one way that we see how she tries to manage her time. And aside from playing outside with her scooter and friends, going to the beach, and visiting our relatives, we want her to have a meaningful and memorable vacation.

Common Health Risks for People who works in BPO Companies

I started working in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Industry way back 2007. Being a college undergraduate, I had to support my family and BPO had been my only hope. I worked as a Senior Account Representative in one of the biggest telecommunication company here in the Philippines but the income will not suffice my family’s daily needs. I must say that BPO had been a great help for me and my family. Working in a BPO will definitely help you financially. In return, you will have a lot to sacrifice. You will have sleep deprivation since you will be working at night most of the time (graveyard shifts). You will not even notice the date, as most of the accounts you will be working for have different time zones. You will turn to foods, (comfort foods) when you are burned and stressed out. You will have less and less time to exercise. As a result, many call center employees are obese. Common Health Risk  Obesity Diabetes Carpal Tunnel  Syndrome  Bone Loss Ulcer Anem

Tefal Spherical Pot Rice Cookers with 35 cooking functions
