Oh and I called a hotel customer care number today. Where do you think my call went? To someone with a thick accent and a crackly phone line. Sheesh.

I used to do support for Cisco. We worked weekends, but with more limited staffing. It's funny, one weekend some guy called wanting to talk to a native English speaker. He was having a hard time understanding the tech in Mexico that he'd originally been routed to. The funny thing is that when they called Cisco in San Jose, CA, they didn't have anyone that didn't have an accent. He ended up talking to a Vietnamese guy (with a very Vietnamese name, but no accent) sitting near me in Houston. I thought that was pretty funny.

Many of the good support places require their folks to go to school/class to help with their accent.

"Crackly phone line" hahahah. I've had to call the telephone company in India many times in a past job about circuit issues. Invariably, calling the telephone companies own help desk is a horrible experience with tons of static. The telco can't even get their own crap right. "Tata" is kaka as a Telco.

"do the needful", hahahah.
