It usually works, without raising my blood-pressure! <br />Annoying as they are, I can't help but feel (slightly) sorry for them. They are led to believe that they will be working in a prestigious industry, then find themselves stuck in a cubicle calling people half-way across the world who obviously don't want to speak to them. I don't think Indian society lets them walk out of a job just because it is ...., and these jobs were regarded as quite an economic prize for India.the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-12288790506405068972011-08-03T20:49:01.703+01:002011-08-03T20:49:01.703+01:00Or you could introduce yourself as an attorney at ...Or you could introduce yourself as an attorney at law, they seem a little unsettled and choose not to continue the conversation.<br />We have caller ID, and an answering system, if you don't leave a message, we won't answer, uunless we recognise the telephine number.
