So you could say the US outsources IT to India, the UK outsources it's IT to the US.

Funny that no one can do their own work and have to outsource to someone else. Oh well, as long as they can speak English.

Theres an interesting reason why they are called bank holidays, just cant remember what it was off hand, as for out sourcing jobs most here are outsourced to india, pakistan and africa to save money, basically its cheaper to send all our jobs over there, than give them the air fare to come over here and not only take all the jobs but claim all the benefits till they realise they have so many kids they are entited to more money breeding like rabbits than they get working, then they write home and tell all their families and they come over, have fifteen kids and live on benefits, or if they are a little more ambitious.

Adams: Those are some tough hours; however, I guess one can get used to anything over time. That's rather like working the third shift.

theres millions of them shouldnt be here, if it was up to me i would put them all up against a wall, but if nothing else im a fair man, so to give them a chance i would line up all the politicians in front of them before opening fire for letting them swamp the coutry, not only did he steal £400k he also brought his sister and two brothers to look after him, they are all criminals who are here under false pretenses, are they going to be deported, are they f**k, its against their human rights.

Yea, most of my life I have worked 3rd shift. But if all goes well I will have a new job pretty soon. I have already had several interviews. Then I can get off these damn phone and do real IT work. Starting to wonder if my college degree was going to go to waste.

Good luck to you. Oh, by the way, a college degree is never a waste. Even for those who never actually use it such as my sister-in-law who never worked within her speciality.
