Because he is a party member?
Because he caused someone trouble?
Because he is cocky and outspoken?:confused:

We fear we get SARS from him
 

NOT OTHER REASON. WE FEAR DEATH.

Oh:eek:
Al has SARS?

Fear
 

Now we still don't know how the SARS spread and hot to defend it. So we have to reduce the inffected chances.

I am tired to supervise the equipment debug
 

The old PA equipments were made in Japan about ten years ago. So there are many problems in installation and debug. Sometimes I have to work more than 16 hours one day. So I have no so much time to visit cellar.org. The overtime work has no salary. I don't know why company headquarters use the old equipment as the same cost on new ones. I think there could be many problems in the future production.

They probably are using the new equiptment in places where they have to pay overtime.:D

Help me find one name for my friend
 

My friend's Chinese name is Jian. He wants to find one similar English name. But I can not find good one for him. Please help me!!! Thanks.

How is Jian pronounced, Billy? Gin? Jen? Jan? Is the J silent?

John or Jim would be good English names for Jian.

Or "Ian".

I realise I am entering this discussion relatively late, but I wanted to thank you Billy for sharing your views and experiences.

It's pronunciation
 

It is [dgen]. He doesn't like John and Jim because too many people use them.

Meaning
 

Perhaps a better approach would be to find a name that matches the meaning. What is the meaning of his name Jian?

Djen could be Dean or Deon (D-on).

I like Dan. Dan the man.
