Internet Support..

I've been having a TERRIBLE time with my DSL and Alex has been having an even WORSE time with his wireless.

So I call Bell South, our DSL provider.. I expect someone with a southern accent on the line, cuz its Bell South.. BUT NOOOOO..

I get Apu from India.. He's as pleasant and polite as he can be.. but its VERY apparent that english is his second language and sometimes things are VERY difficult to communicate.

I guess it astounds me that its cheaper to hire someone half way around the world to answer tech support questions. It also saddens me GREATLY that even though I am happy Apu has a job.. that was one a job that an American held. I am very much anti outsourcing. I am not angry with Apu.. I am angry that Bell South has gone out of the Deep south to hire people, and our government has allowed this to happen.

I agree with you on this one MJ. They should provide jobs here in the states for those kind of jobs.

Poor Apu. He probably has like 11 kids to feed. Even though there are thousands of cows running around, I'm sure they're starving. I commend BellSouth for giving Apu a job because Americans don't need jobs, there are no needy or starving people in America. How do I know this? Because I have never seen a commercial on TV asking for money to help needy Americans. The only needy people in this world are in Africa or the Phillipines or some other 3rd world shit hole. I wish I had a job, I'd give it to one of Apu's friends. Thank God there are companies like BellSouth that take jobs away from undeserving Americans and give it to more deserving foreigners half way around the world to help them learn the english language and save money!!!!!

MJ, Do you need me to look up the number for Cox or Comcast cable for you???

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India.

The Personnel Manager said, "Mujibar, you have
passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass
it you cannot qualify for this job."

Mujibar said, "I am ready"

The manager said, "Make a sentence using the
words Yellow, Pink and Green."

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said,
"Mister manager, I am ready"

The manager said, "Go ahead."

Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green,
and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"

Mujibar now works as a technician at a call
center for computer problems.

No doubt you have spoken to him. I have
