NEWS IN BRIEF
New Tech-Support Caste Arises in India
NEW DELHI—Thanks to widespread outsourcing of telephone-service jobs, a sixth caste has blossomed in India: the Khidakayas, a mid-level jati made up of technical-support workers. “I am happy to be a Khidakaya,” said technical-support agent Ranji Prasat, who speaks English with a flawless American accent and goes by the name “Ron” at work. “While we rank below members of the reigning order, those of us responsible for helping Americans track their online purchases and change their account PINs share many privileges not enjoyed by the merchant class below us.” Prasat said he expects to marry another tech-support worker.

See, if your birthday falls on February 29, then you really only age one year out of every 4.

I was born at 5:16 am Eastern time. On the West coast that figures out to be 2:16 am. But this is one of those years where the clocks roll forward. So there was 1:58, 1:59, 3:00. Effectively… there was no 2:16 am where I was…

So I didn’t age this morning.

There may be those on the east coast who disagree with me on this 😉

Yay. Lesser Feast. G’night

2 more posts tomorrow I hope
Weird sudden spontaneous sickness on the 2nd
and a thrilling sole to sole (sic) conversation.

Note the latter will fall under my S&F filter.

And if you haven’t done the poll yet, please do that 😉
