More Outsourcing Ideas
I saw a funny article today about a company that uses outsourcing to accumulate virtual assets and sell them for real cash. This gave me the idea for another unique use for outsourced / offshored employees (besides doing tech support for my parents). When I come home at night, sometimes I don't really feel like interacting with anyone, including my wife. I just want to stop listening to anyone and zone out (usually playing some online poker).
That's where my idea of "out-spousing" comes into the picture. Apparently, for a hundred dollars a month I can get a stand-in from India, China, or Russia to listen to stories about new purses, talk about my day, and make decisions about dinner (as long as I don't mind eating food so spicy that it tastes like pain). Of course, I would still get to do all of the cool things like give the misses her recommended daily allowance of vitamin F.
