I may or may not post tomorrow; it will probably depend on whether or not I have something to say (and whether or not I manage to write my megillahfic story in time! argh!). As far as the LJ boycott goes, I am torn between rolling my eyes at the "I am taking my toys and going home!" side and the "What? Antisemitism is part of Russian political discourse?" side. So I have decided to ignore the whole thing as much as possible.

I seem to have developed a nasty cough. Blech. Also, we have rain and freezing rain for Spring. Both of these seem to be suppressing any instinct I might have to say anything more useful for myself.

Nah, they just off-shore it all to India for pennies on the dollar nowadays.

Ah -- I think you are confusing customer service with PR! The PR shill is, as I understand it, alive and well, even in these days.

I don't know, even that's going.

One of our neighbors was a PR shill for a big fortune 100 megacorp. 90% of the PR department got laid off maybe 8 months ago. While there's still an American face for the department to show to the media, even the PR copy writing has been off-shored.

I seem to know a lot of people still working in the field -- I suspect a lot may depend on the type and size of the company. It's a lot easier for a major corp to move departments offshore, after all.
