Waiting for Nidhish

[billroper]

When I made an appointment to do some work with Nidhish, my Indian colleague, tonight, it somehow escaped my notice that our change to Daylight Savings Time meant that I would be up even later than I usually am.

Oh, well. I'm sure he'll be along soon. :)

Back when I worked for Motorola (and lived in Illinois), on my visits to India, I'd often call Tara after getting up insanely (at least by Indian standards) early - about 6:00am. Of course it seemed a bit like a call back in time, since I'd catch her early the previous evening in Chicago.

On the other side, our Indian coworkers usually stayed at the office until 19:00 or 20:00 there time so that they could be on conference calls with Illinois (and Massachusetts) early in our work days - often 7:30, or 8:00.

Now, working with India is usually just a case of "throw it over the wall" since there is nearly no sane overlap in either direction. China is a bit easier - if we stay late they can come in early. Of course most of my time at Qualcomm my immediate teams' overseas coworkers are in India not China.

My California colleagues work with India anyway. And the overlap is not sane for either side... :)
