Foreword.
This series of articles, on the travails and torments of required writing for school term papers, thesis or dissertation, are purposely taken in the point of view of the student in the graduating or senior years. Hopefully, they reveal how much anguish and agony he goes through in every phase of the activity he is obliged to present, even to defend in front of a panel of peers, prior to receiving his much toiled-for diploma.
Previously.
The graduating student, whose subject proposal is now accepted by the English professor he used to secretly calls Darth Vader, has interviewed an expatriate who had rose from the ranks in a call-center. His extensive experience gives us deeper understanding what it was like working in one.
____________________________________________________________________________
As it oftentimes happen in open-ended assignments, where the undertaker himself sets the goal or aim, pursuit of a logical end or answer usually lead to many paths. The discretion on which way to proceed is part of the response skills that education teaches the learner.
I quickly recognized the unusual opportunity presented by my acquaintance with this man from another country (I would not have to travel overseas!). Here he is, favorably disposed to share with me his entire life experience (I actually only want those related to his stint in a call center). He is also utterly willing to speak of his knowledge in many other fields (I really have to be cautious not to stray far away from my original purpose – to acquire first-hand understanding of the Business Process Outsourcing industry).
He is quite a character, coming from an impoverished family in a third world country, working his way through college, graduating from an engineering course in a reputable university, rising to responsible positions in the companies he worked for, then able to work in the Middle East for a number of years. Unforeseen circumstances left him a bachelor albeit with two offspring he readily acknowledge from different relationships. He was in fact almost in his senior years when accepted in a call canter, blending in adequately with young people practically half his age and double his independent spirit.
Without me asking him, on his own volition he told me how he was able to do it. Besides being conversational in English, he is familiar with things American. A wide reader of popular digests and magazines, scientific journals, self-improvement books, and news reviews; he is up to date with everything going on especially in technological advances. His favorite entertainment pastimes include blockbuster Hollywood movies and situation comedies, and thus thoroughly familiar with clichés and idioms and colloquial expressions.
I courteously beg off the interview with my friend the call-center agent. I already feel more than enough knowledgeable on this singular aspect of the industry and losing the overview I desire for my project. Nevertheless, in spite of our age difference and cultural upbringing, a bridge of harmonious bond has developed between us. We still occasionally discuss many other subjects, often over six-packs of beer.
Next: the eight stride – hidden blessings

The Basic Tools of Writing: A Historical Perspective
We should do well to remember the peculiar rarity of the tools of writing in this period. The peculiar difficulties which these men of letters were faced with: First there was the relative severe shortage of raw materials (paper, and books). Second there was shortage of ink or if you have the ink there was still the risk of it freezing in the inkwell.

A recent and continuing occurrence, which happens to someone close to me, set me to thinking about the supernatural world. She claims to see dark apparitions of human-like figures lurking in the shadows of their house, sporadically appearing on no particular occasion, whether other persons are present or not, threatening enough to appear in her dreams. Except for wanting not to be left alone in odd or rarely frequented places of the domicile, she remains the vibrant and lively and strong-willed

We humans need to communicate with one another; we must interact and express our intentions to each other, the more preferred method being through verbal means. Our history as an entire specie is filled with examples of civilizations rising to full heights when we fully understand what is expected of everyone – be it as priest, soldier, or slave. Progress never materialize when we do not talk.
