"Damn, double damn, and an extra pint of damn for the weekend!"
Busy week at work, which is why my writing here has been rather lacking. Suffice to say that 4:30 p.m. next Wednesday can't come soon enough.
For the pathologically curious:
I'm leaving my job with the State of Wisconsin to take a teaching assistantship in Intro to Judaism at the University of Wisconsin, which will (almost) fund my full-time pursuit of a PhD in Hebrew and Semitic studies there. I'm also hunting for gainful part-time employ to supply me with beer money for the coming year. If that sounds superfluous, then apparently you haven't studied dead languages enough.

At least I'm still employed. Surprising. Must be a lack of paralegals around here.
Good luck with your class! You'll be a grand teacher. Also, I'd love a syllabus when you get one together.
And here's to next Wednesday!
Isn't the last week of work for entirely slacking off and 'sticking it to the man' like you always dreamed of doing, but couldn't upon fear of losing gainful employment?
Or is this just your protestant work ethic kicking in?
Okay, so now I have to ask (because I'm clearly one of the pathologically curious), are you Jewish?
Awesome! hehe.
I'm supposed to be translating Jonah right now. I'm glad you're getting to do a Ph.D. Doctor Jones.
i know you haven't finished with my original question. but if you need to blow off some time at work... i'm trying to determine whether there is connection between the prohibition on idols and the pressence of God's image in humanity. my little neo-orthodox heart believes there is, but there's a dozen different words for idol/image (including one for mice?!) to sort through. can i assume the word set is a general concept, or are they all specific?
feel free to ignore the new question, but really, who else am i going to ask?!
thanks for the comment btw.
Congrats on your new job.
RYC: Ahh, I saw the question as being about ethnicity, not about something that actually matters.
Great that you have a way to pay for school. I'm jealous.
is that a screen shot from "a bit of fry and laurie" or have i confused myself again? i really love those two together. "jeeves and wooster" is one of my all-time favorite shows. no one else seems to share this opinion, though.
...and as a follow-up to my previous comment, in the afterglow of marital conjugation, i found myself humming edmund fitzgerald.
so, mmm, thanks for that.
Mazel tov on the change! I see that class is also full -- good luck!
RYC: I know, I was sad about the rain, too. I just shook my head and stared at the couches collecting water and festering on the curbs. Thursday was not a day to be a City of Madison garbage collector -- water-logged sofas, anyone?
great. i'll never hear the phrase "little pink houses" the same way again. i know we don't, like, know each other or anything? but i feel pretty confident at this point that you suck. baha.
figured you'd appreciate this - new musical obsession: local minneapolis band, vicious vicious.
(mostly listening to 'serious thing' on repeat.)
