My sister-in-law used to work for Sony and UAL - two full time jobs at
the same time. Beats me how that works. She must be Superlady. Sony was
transferring their support off-shore so she was called on to train the
Indians with whatever training it takes to move them into a support
role. She said it was not a very comfortable feeling training people to
take your co-worker's job. I think in the end, Sony decided it was not a
smart move and canned that project - but I might be wrong.

Da Hawaiians don't freak out when they hear somebody speaking English
with an accent. Lots of people talk funny on this rock. Filipino accent
is not a problem - there's probably more Filipinos in Hawaii than
anybody else.
