Gracias a Dios, they have been changed to a version with a red circle and a diagonal slash.<BR/><BR/>Besides the local newspaper, they mostly sell seasonal fruit, windshield wipers and car odorizers at the traffic intersections. Or a guy comes over and just starts washing your windshield, expecting a tip.<BR/><BR/>We also have payasos and fire eaters doing little shows for a tip.<BR/><BR/>In Mexico we have a mandatory Christmas bonus, el aguinaldo, which is an extra quincena (15 days) of pay. It is supposed to be paid by 20 DEC. We have mandatory healthcare and paid vacation determined by length of time served. So, if you have only one week of paid vacation you often have no choice about it being Semana Santa, when many businesses close for the week.<BR/><BR/>When we leave a job, especially involuntarily from lay offs, we get a liquidation based on time served.Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-59331397300208304752008-04-05T21:17:00.000-05:002008-04-05T21:17:00.000-05:00Urgh, la Piña is back? ¿Qué pasa?
