He has a warped sense of humor.<br /><br />A documentary about Indians working for western companies is a good idea. One of my duties at work is to get ins auths for people scheduled for surgery. A lot of their customer service operations have been outsourced for years so I speak to the workers in Bangalore often. The funny thing is they are given western names to tell the callers. I wish I could blog an Indian accent saying, 'Hello, my name is Peter.

Damn glad he likes cigars! And damn glad he was able to get the Cubans! I'm smoking Honduran and Dominican these days.<br />I don't work for wages any longer. I am not affected first hand since I don't go to the office every day, but I am aware of outsourcing and always wonder how it can be cheaper to send the work overseas, especially in the case of manufactured goods as opposed to computer generated 'paperwork'.<br />The video satire was funny. A good project would be to go to India and do a documentary from their side of the coin. I wonder what prosperity they have gleaned overall since jobs have been sent over there, or are they as oppressed as American workers in so far as having to work for less than they are worth, having responsibility with no authority and the like. I can't believe that corporations are treating them good because they are paying them less.<br />Oh well, I'm gonna go light up an Arturo Fuentes Short Story far a quick smoke, then out to coffee. I'll plant those trees and bushes later this morning.<br />Peace.Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-47774271853920223862009-05-13T04:03:00.000-07:002009-05-13T04:03:00.000-07:00Thank gooooooodness Crow is alright.
