A friend of mine had a job from hell for a while as Canada-side overseer
of an India-based programming effort.  The job entailed being up all night
to oversee, then being up all day explaining to management what was
happening in India.  He's a smart, talented guy, but really, how good is
*anybody* going to be working like that?
