Actually, now that I look at the ad again, the Technion one just asks for research interests similar to what somebody in the department is already doing, and I just checked their webpage and there are a bunch of people doing similar stuff to what I do. And there are two different positions open at Ben-Gurion, and only one of them requires Hebrew. Hmm.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Perky boob~ma, Cashmere.
Baby is awake and happily burbling to her toys. Let's just say, I am not.

Hil, I support your humm.
Ben-Gurion is somewhat new, very sociable university - but it's in a relatively boring city (Be'er Sheva). I heard it's a great place for the social sciences and earth sciences folks, don't know about mathematics. However, I hear it's a wonderful, warm, open-for-all university with a great atmosphere. Plus, you already have a base in Hebrew, so I wouldn't worry so much about it.
The Technion is the oldest higher-education establishment in Israel, and known for its hardcore exact sciences reputation. Haifa is a wonderful place, too.
And eeks, I just saw I posted the non-proofed version of my first post to you. That's what morning does to a person.

Our wings are not tired.
Bye bye, boobies! Quick recovery ~ma.
Fay, how horrible. I'm glad the little girl has you and other positive people in her life.
Hmmm, indeed. It would be awesome to get a position in Israel.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Hil, you should totally apply for jobs in Israel. (Would also solve your 'the only Jewish person in the village' problem.)
Thanks, Shir. You is a star.
In more fun news, The Girl bought a dress for the civil partnership ceremony. Now I need one. I'm probably going to get one made - I have an idea of one with a sort of Regency-style high waist (this kind of waist height, only the dress is too fussy [link] ), and very simple otherwise. Possibly long-sleeved. (This [link] is getting closer, but not there yet.) I need some pictures to give to a dressmaker. If anyone comes across anything like that, do let me know!

Much surgery~ma to you, Cashmere.
Fay, that is terrible. What an asshat of a "father."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Much ~ma to Cash, and to The Girl's family.

ita, ha! Although my favorites are the guys(I can't believe this happened multiple times.) who write the note for the bank robbery on something, a check or deposit slip, maybe, with their name and address on it. -ma to Cash and Seska's Girl.

:: flops in thread ::
Forgive me, my bitches. I skimmed a few hundred posts, and just skipped about 500. Belated b-day's to a handful of you. Work is kicking my ass! So, I've popped in thread to ask for a rather strange request. Rain~ma. We have this event tonight of doing the Fezziwig scene from CHRISTMAS CAROL in a city park event. If it rains, we don't do it, and I get a night off. Well, a night to work on paperwork inside, where it is warm and dry. But the rain is slated to taper off as the day goes by. So some "please keep a nice, mild, steady rain all day" would be great. I realize this is a very selfish request. But I'm exhausted. And 4 handheld wireless mics for a cast of 20 is not a prospect I find fun.
