With all the recent fuss about outsourcing IT jobs to India, where someone is available to do your work for 10% of what you cost, it was really just a matter of time until I would become one of the affected IT workers.
But I found myself in an even stanger position today. I received an e-mail from someone who offered to do my job for free.
It made me think of this joke: Two men are having lunch together. One of them takes a dollar bill from his wallet and tears it into tiny pieces. "What are you doing?" , asks the other man. "Why don't you give it to me? I'll piece it back together again." "OK", says the first, "but I'll tell your boss that you're willing to work for a dollar an hour."
