I'm not picking on anyone here, and I know Hima also see's the irony in it you'll understand as you read on.  Hima told me that her brother is coming to live with her for a while.  I thought she was nuts for having him live with them, but I that's not the point.  Now if you don't already know Hima (and her brother obviously) is Indian (from India).  Anyway the ironic part is that he was working under contract for Verizon in Texas.  Unfortunately, he lost his job...it was offshored to India...
