but i'm not depressed. could a depressed person come up with the best business idea ever? that's what i thought.

the other day, i had to call tech support. (it's totally my fault, i'm the one who bought a Dell...) as i was talking to this guy on the other end of the line, i discovered that my call was routed to Bombay. he was a very nice dude, and was trying to be helpful, but his Indian accent made it a little tough to understand his English words. i sometimes have the same problem when i'm talking to my Indian friends here in The States. the difference is that when i'm talking to them in person, the non-verbal can sometimes fill in the blanks. but when i'm on the phone with someone, it's not so easy. that's when it occurred to me... i wish i could hire an Indian guy to come to my house and call the Indian tech support guys for me. he could serve as a translator.

although i guess if i have an Indian guy at my house, he could just fix my computer. i assume they all know how to.

oh, and as a sidebar... i'm going to be in India next Thursday, doing some work with charity: water. i gotta remember to bring my Dell.
