2 rockets hit central Israel, 10 km from Tel Aviv. Oh boy. (I'm on my way back from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem).

Yikes. Stay safe Shir, and all around you.

Yikes, Shir. Take care.

Yay, Teppy! Well, I guess if I inspired you, I have to go back.

Wow, Shir. Normally I would expound the glory of adequate sleep and making time to get a full night...but given the mitigating circumstances yay for being in one piece? So scary :(

Speaking of scary, one of my fb friends posted a pic of a very very fresh newborn. I am super curious about the marks on her forehead but it seems rude to ask a new dad why his newborn looks like someone pressed a sweater wristband into her face.

I need to stay away from dr google

There are not enough bunkers in the world, for the amount of missiles people want to throw at each other. Is wrong.

we have to have a meeting at work (right now, actually) about our new copier. It has 6 agenda items. WHAT THE HELL.

We got deluged with meeting invites about our new printers. None of which I attended, but I did ask around until I found someone who had, to find out what they learnt.

Apparently we can scan from them to our email addresses or something?

Whatevs. My phone has a camera.

Then I overheard someone (in IT!) complaining that they had *no* idea how to set up this new printer on their system.

Uh, the same way you did the last printer on Windows 7? That doesn't change with the brand of printer.

So maybe classes were needed for some.

Google had a birthday doodle for me!

I didn't know they did that. It was very exciting.

Our new copier does that, too!

And now there's a whole kerfluffle going on about where to put the new copier. (It seems like you just put it where the old one was, but there's a total diva who insists that it be put in her area because she uses it the most and it's an inconvenience for her to keep getting up. Even though she managed to do it the old way for YEARS. No one likes her, and everyone goes out of their way to give her whatever she wants, because she throws EPIC tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I don't understand how reinforcing her shitty diva attitude is good management, but whatever.)

I don't want the new copier in her area because it's in my line of sight, and seeing the endless stream of people at the copier is distracting, but eh. I'll adapt. Unlike Diva!co-worker. (Seriously, NO ONE likes her. She is from hell. I just never bitch about her on here because I almost never have to interact with her, so her tantrums generally don't affect me, other than to provide amusement and bemusement.)

Tep, they should put it in her cube Dilbert-style. Then everyone who uses it can interrupt her with requests for a stapler, paper clips, paper, pens, etc. I had the copier right outside my cube at one workplace and it was pure hell. Too bad it would be disruptive to you as putting it near her would totally drive her batshit crazy.

No, she basically wants it next to her desk. I am not kidding. And she's a black hole -- if you go near her, she will start talking...and talking...and talking...and talking... You seriously have to just walk away while she's still talking because if you wait for her to stop (or even take a breath), she WILL NEVER STOP.

So really, no one wants the copier by her because no one wants to get trapped in her chatty abyss.
