... man up and do your holiday!!

What a misuse of a perfectly good concept! My integrity, courage and resolve are not at stake.

Very few people stand up like a man these days and put their actions where their words are. I want to help them in their time of need and this is the way I can. I am not scared of work. I'll request those cancelled vacation days at the end of my contract as a condition of re-signing.

It is a funeral type event...what did you expect? Surpises? Games? Special Guests and entertainers?

What's with the attitude? Because I described it as feeling like a factory line? Geez. It was simply part of my description of the event. I've been to several funerals back home and there was always a sense of emotion in the air, and not so many repetitive behaviours. I was making an observation. All I wanted was to find out how to show my sympathy and support. You must be having a bad day PGHB.


Because the event was not about YOU...it was about the deceased...your post seemed a tad self-centered thats all.

So what if they do it this way in Korea, they have their own funeral rites.

Sorry if my post bothered you and glad you found a way to express your sympathies to the people in mourning.
