Wonderful news, Shir!

I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Age-related in which way? I've noticed that the professors who are in their thirties tend to want to be called Dr., as a way of enforcing "You will respect me, even though I'm maybe just six years older than you" from the undergrads, which the people in their fifties or so tend to be more of the "I'm a cool guy, I don't want to be an authority figure (I'm not going to be The Man!), call me by my first name), and the people older than their mid-sixties just seem puzzled as to why anybody would call a professor anything other than Dr.
