I always think about my Israeli roommate in college who was aggressively secular -- she said living there was enough!
While there are certain aspects of Judaism-as-law which I enjoy (knowing that what I eat has no meat in it whatsoever because the restaurant is dairy, for example), some are harder to live by as a secular person (no public transportation on weekends. Taxis to and from my parents almost every weekend is expensive).
IT IS ALLYSON'S BIRTHDAY!!!
I remember when we didn't like each other, maybe we just didn't know each other. What a silly time.
Happiest of days to one of the bestest people I know.
Happy Allyson Day!
Man, my hair should really be shinier in honor.
Sweet, I just found out that our 9 hour days are actually going to be 9 hours long, not nine and a half like we were all assuming (our current 8 hour days are 8.5 because we are required to take a lunch even though we don't clock out) Everything's coming up -t.
Allyson Day!
I'm still annoyed because there was no aerial photography of the March here because Trump was in town which grounds the aircraft that use small airports.
My son has his first day of work for the huge corporate entity today. He has a full month of training before actually being placed at his station. My only advice was that when they train him to do something in 10 awkward steps and he knows it would be more efficient in 3 to just consider for a moment that with more than a couple hundred thousand employees all over the globe and 40 years experience they might know how they want things done. His response of course was that he would have a better way because he is always the best wherever he works. I chose to speak frankly and point out that the one thing he doesn't seem to excel at is keeping a job, so try just following instructions. Yes, my nice mom days are apparently over.
msbelle, speaking of youth employment, did Mac get the job?

That seems like the best advice, nice or not nice!

That's amazing!
Good advice, Laura. Good luck to him.
I was coughing and sneezing when my boss came by to discuss the 9/80 thing so now I'm pretty much being sent home. Which I am fine with!
