Don't want to be negative but if you look at all the advise given in the historical files on this board, it looks kinda tough for you... And speaking "no good" spanish doesn't really help...

The way I see it, the only reason any DR company would hire a gringo/gringa, and suffer the possible risk of having to pay a higher salary than to a local, would be if he/she can offer something that company can not find "at home"!

Why don't you go back home, get a job, save like a madman, or madwoman, take evening classes in spanish, acquire additional skills and return to DR after a year or two!

Hmm, Jan, may I make a small suggestion? Before you go to any interviews where demonstrating English proficiency is expected, recall that (1) in English, the names of all languages are capitalized, as is the first-person pronoun "I"; (2) it's "I can speak English perfectLY" rather than "I can speak english perfect" (adverb instead of adjective).

Sorry, guess it's the ex-English teacher in me coming through. :-/
Regards,
Keith

X-mas party? But it is too early for me!

Christmas Party on Dec.14??? DANG!!! Why do you have to have it a week before I get there??? I want to "network" too!!! Sigh...

Story of my life! Always too late... I bet there will be Guiness there, just to rub it in even more...

And here I must dwell, suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... Splashing about in a sea of troubles...

Hahahaha!!! A man with initiative! I like that, Criss! It's a deal then!

Above, you can see my e-mail adress. Please send me an e-mail with some more details about yourself and we'll see what kind of arrangement we can come to! (Did that sound formal? If so, then it was unintentional! It happens sometimes to us non-native english speakers...)

Relax, criss. I was just joking. I like morenas too. I am not racist, i just had to say what popped up in my mind at the moment. Bad humor i suppose.
Will you forgive me?
Cheers

Jefe,even the 10th. Mountain Division needs re-inforcements at times! I think John is a young man,and a "Norseman"(very cold up there,and only one thing to do all winter!)and Viagra only does so much! I may need his help!Criss

I will always forgive!But your penalty is to look-up "arcane",and use it "correctly" in a sentance 50 times!!! If you don,t come for a "sit-down" next Friday I,m coming to Santiago and give you a "bear hug" and you won,t like it!! Criss

Shamu in Sea World, San Diego?

Hey AZB, are you referring to Shamu, the killer whale in the show in Sea World? I was there a couple of years ago and saw it. Big whale, big belly but impressive agility and such graceful movements it filled the audience with awe!

So you were in fact paying Criss a compliment, weren't you?

By the way, I wonder why he calls himself "Criss Colon"? Is he Spanish? Does he sympathize with the values held by Columbus (as we call him in Sweden)

...or is there some utterly sophisticated reference to... for example 1492, when Columbus supposedly "discovered" the americas! Perpahs Criss was born in 1942?

Re: Shamu in Sea World, San Diego?

Hey Johns,
Yes, criss colon does refer to Christopher Columbus.
Like the discoverer of the new world, our criss also brought hate, anger, disease, slavery and death to DR1 message board. Hahahaha
I am sorry, I had misspelled shamu; I was referring to shamu (killer whale) of the sea world. I have never seen him but I was told that when criss visited the sea world, shamu got sexually aroused and excited. Poor criss got so scared at shamu?s behavior that he actually managed to fall into another tank full of whales. To everyone?s surprise all the whales welcomed him and began to sing: ? we are family?.?
Hahahahaah, sorry for my silly American jokes; you may not find them funny but?.. hahahaha.
Anyway, this criss guy is a bit more smarter than he let himself known. He knows most of the facts but he loves to get a reaction out of people by pushing their hot buttons. He is like the wrestlers who make fame and fortune by being the bad guys.
As much as I would hate to admit this, but it seems this guy is not so bad as he portrays himself to be.
Criss: if you don?t see me this Friday, you will get a phone call from me.
How you would get a call? Don?t worry, I don?t have your number but a phone will be passed to you.
Have a nice day.
