preparing for pesach
It’s been a busy week here in Jerusalem, preparing for Passover. On Tuesday, the company had a pre-Passover celebration (in my mind, kind of like the holiday lunch party in the US during Christmas). The head of the company told a joke:
A Jewish CEO was hired by a company in Utah. The company were all […]
jan and peter
When I was in Jerusalem in November, people from other offices were here - the UK, German, others from the US, and every night we went out and did something. Then, in February, I was the only foreigner in the office. That meant I went to dinner by myself every night, it’s not so fun […]

My bag has arrived. I feel like a new woman.

I worked a little late tonight, and then walked over to the mall to get a book on learning Hebrew. It’s a pretty nice book - nice and easy for beginners like me. Lots of practice with this new script, easy words and sentences. I figured it would give me something to do, I seem […]

So I have arrived in Jerusalem once again, but my luggage has not. It’s still in Frankfurt. They think. No, really, they’re pretty sure it will arrive late tomorrow morning - meaning I’ll have two full days at work with only my carry on bag.
I almost felt like I was back in Peace Corps days, […]
the Brady Bunch
I’ve been working in the new office for about three weeks now (what with trips to Israel and a two-week vacation). This is definitely a merger. It’s a lot like the Brady Bunch, in my opinion. Two groups of kids/people who think that the way they do things is the only way to do things. […]

Apparently I talk about my blog a lot. At least that’s what my tell-it-like-it-is friend Kramer says. It’s nice to have her around, none of this pussyfooting around. “Oh, you and your blog,” she used to say. She couldn’t even pronounce the name - it came out Hermione, Hermano, and then she’s revert to the […]

Someone asked me a while ago, by way of getting to know me, what my favorite thing was. I only had a few seconds to reply, and what burst out of my mouth was “Books”. I’ve thought about that question on and off since, with a little more time on my hands, and I’ve decided […]

I always did better in school at math and the hard sciences rather than arts and social sciences. I like being able to say “this is the way it is”. I am a librarian and enjoy being able to point at something and say “it says here that this is true”.
I do not enjoy, however, […]
next: the romans
I often remark with disdain the penchant for the British/Europeans to think that they owned the world when they started to colonialize. In many senses, I think they ran roughshod over existing cultures - Native Americans, Africans (who did, however, succeed in throwing off the yoke), Aboriginal Australians, Indigineous Central/South Americans (who seem to be […]
