A machine shop around where I live laid off everyone off two days before Christmas. They called almost everyone back on the 5th and brought them back to work. They just were working to save the business by not paying everyone holiday pay and paying Christmas bonuses and everything else.
That is a perfectly honorable name in Vietnamese. Dong is the family name and Wang is the given name. He was probably born in Vietnam and was brought here when very small, thus no accent. These days children are much more tolerant of weird or unfamiliar names but may not have been then. Too bad that Americans find humor in other peoples' language. Case in point: I had wanted to name my second son "Friedrich" , a good German name that would have pleased my parents and which I really liked. Then I thought what American kids would make off that: "Fried Rich". So I named him Michael instead with the German pronunciation "Mi-kha-el" and called him "Misha". His teachers were happy with that as there were 3 Michael Evans in his class, one went by Mike and another by Mickey, so Misha was just fine. He has now legally changed his name to Misha as nobody knows him by his given name and he would not react if someone called him that.
I never doubted it, though I didn't know enough to recognize it as Vietnamese. I was simply thinking in terms of what American children would do to it.
Why are you thinking of selling? Is it just the potential impact of any hurricanes that might come roaring through? As to feeling like a full-time cat sitter: isn't that your sole purpose in life?
Now that's someone who understands the meaning of the word "commitment." I wish more people felt like that.
I hope you don't mind, but I talked to AWM about it, and this is what she said; they probably won't call him back until after the trial is over, as he's a key witness and might have to testify, making him unavailable for work for long periods of time. That there's nothing stopping him from quitting one job if the company decides they want to rehire him after all, and that--before he takes any jobs--he should see if the pay and benefits are better than those he'd get on unemployment.
I had a lot of problems with kids making fun of my name in elementary school. (By the way, my name's not really Tallyollyopia, I just like the way it sounds and it's a user name almost no one else uses.) My real name is really common and there are, quite literally three other women who use my bank with the same exact (first middle and last) name I have. Point is--if kids want to make another kid's life horrible, they'll find a way to do it.
A dose of chamomile tea might relax him enough to get the Soft Paws on.
John didn't witness it. He knew the guy who did it - he was his supervisor - but he didn't see the murder. The men who were here building the machinery saw it. And the guy turned himself in a couple hours later. And I never mind people talking to other people about advice for me. LOL
I must have misunderstood something in a previous post. Sorry about that.
