Yay, Shir! That's awesome!
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

[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.

Thank you, all! And humm, I really hope that will sink in soon.

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.
Wonderful news, Shir!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Enough-already~ma, Perkins!

Excellent Shir. And you might tell people that this is a new situation for you, and ask how they want you to address them. One of the few bits of practical wisdom I can offer is that if you want to know people's preferences, asking them often works.

I don't even have an idea how to call them now: by first name?
Congratulations! I don't know about Israeli educational culture, but at my university, there are some people who are very particular about being called Dr. so-and-so and some people don't care (often age related, I've noticed). So, I would start with the formal title, and ask them what they want to be called.

Congratulations Shir!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I think I'll stick with calling them Dr. and Prof., until they'll tell me otherwise.
Still getting used to the idea of working there, btw.
