Where's Pa? Where's Gamma?
Whew! Parents successfully dropped at the airport (though admittedly, I have yet to hear whether they’ve arrived back home safe and sound, so I suppose it’s possible that they’re still at the airport, though I imagine they’d have called had this been the case). Two [Read More]
Busy Busy Busy!
Yes, we’ve been quiet. We know. But, we’ve got very good excuses. All of our parents are in town! He and I haven’t even had a chance to touch base, we’ve just been so busy running around with our ancestors and watching them turn all mushy in the [Read More]
Welcome to my job
Well, after more than three months of searching, I’ve finally done it. I found a new job! I’ve been with my current company for more than four years; lots of ups and downs, redundancies and general disorganization had completely sapped my energy and will to [Read More]
A few more words on the subject, because I just couldn't help myself
Not surprisingly, I am still getting flack for my previous posts. I know He was hoping that we’d take break from politics (sorry, He), but I just felt that I had a bit more to say on the subject. What follows is a paraphrasing of a response that I just sent to a [Read More]
Balls of technological steel
First of all, I take my hat off to She, I think she wrote some great posts while I was away. She’s a star, don’t you know. But, time to disengage from the disengagment, otherwise we’ll have all sorts round here…She will have more to say on the topic, [Read More]

Slogging away in hi-tech hell
I have been swamped, positively swamped these past few weeks. Being the only one in my office who does what I do can have its perks (such as surviving three rounds of firings in the years that I’ve been here), but there are also drawbacks (such as being forced to work [Read More]
Just peachy, thanks…
It seems you can’t go anywhere these days without hearing about the upcoming disengagement. Everybody’s talking about it, and passions are running high on both sides. One of the more unusual aspects is the implication associated with the color orange. All of a [Read More]
Of Trains and Men (and the lessons they fail to learn)…
I am a train commuter. We are a growing breed here in Israel, but when I first started taking the train, just over 4 1/2 years ago, we were still something of a novelty. While searching for my current job, I vowed that I would do everything I could to find a position that [Read More]
I've got the news blues
Well, here it is, Friday afternoon. I’ve promised He that I would make an entry over the weekend, and this may be my only opportunity to do so, given that I usually spend my waking hours at home chasing after the little one, who is tremendously enjoying showing off [Read More]
