Reading about Get Friday on a Sunday
I read way too much and I visit too many random web sites. Today, I was reading the Wall Street Journal online about outsourcing the more common things in your life.
I do a search for Get Friday, one of the Indian firms mentioned, out of curiosity.
Under unusual services they have provided a couple tidbits:
- Apologizing and sending flowers and cards on their behalf to spouses or clients.
- Research on how to tie a shoe lace meant for a kid (client’s son).
- Talking to parents in our client’s stead.
- Reading bedtime stories to a young kid on phone
What kind of person thinks it would be a swell idea to have someone in India read your kid a bedtime story on the phone because they are too busy? Although, it would be fun to have everyone route their requests to a personal assistant, just to see the looks on their faces.
