I purposely wait until later at night in overnight "emergencies" with  
Cisco gear to avoid the Indian call-center in their "follow-the-sun"  
model for the Cisco TAC.

I get more done talking with the Aussies a few hours later, and don't  
have to resort to "Could you please e-mail that to me?" over and over  
when calling the TAC.

It means less sleep for me, but far more productive time overall.
