Well, I had a fun filled weekend, I don't know about you guys. Purim was fun, as always, and the added bonus of family drama was thrown into the mix to make the holiday extra special. A Purim that will not be forgotten for years to come.
One more month until the Passover trip. Can I just say, off the Jewish record (Is there such thing?), that there needs to be more space between holidays to recover? I've a Jewish hangover.

The Taming of the Shrew is a rather interesting read, I must say. Working through the comedies, I rather enjoyed it, especially in comparison to the rather two dimensional Comedy of Errors. I adored Kate, even in the last speech where she spoke of how to be a good wife, dashing the hopes and dreams of feminists. I do enjoy a good dream dashing by Shakespeare, don't you? I loathed the character of Bianca, the young lover who disobeyed her father and was generally a spoiled brat, though. I mean, really, Lucentio was great and all, but your father has spoiled you all your life. Priorities, priorities.
Now I am taking up Twelfth Night and am rather keen for it. Cross dressing and madmen? Sounds like my sort of play.

I got to say, when Spot (my goldfish) eats too much and does the floating on the surface of the water thing? I still freak out. Nobody wants a dead fish, after all.
On that note, I should get back to work.

It's times like this, on a Friday night, my phone not ringing, it really hits me; I'm not as Jewish as my mother.
For those of you not in the know, or as my mother puts it not 'one of the chosen few', Friday night sundown to Saturday night sundown is our holy day. Now, during this time, there are a good deal of limitations on the orthodox Jews. No electronics, no cars, no carrying of money, that sort of thing. Anyway, when I decided not to be orthodox, not to do kosher, it didn't really hit me until my first friday night when I didn't hear from my mother and forgot why she wasn't calling that it truly hit me. I'm not really Jewish.
It's just something to think about when I'm not on an hour long phone call, assuring my mother that I'm eating right and making new friends. Which, in case you are wondering, I'm doing both of.

Naturally, the moment I get in my apartment, I realize I left my cell at the office. So, anyone trying to get a hold of me on my cell, I'm not screening calls, I'm just too far away to pick up.

| Intro |
[26 Feb 2008|09:35am] |
Saying 'hello' on this is as good a way as any to really get my day going, I suppose.
My name is Charlie Leibowitz, though most of you probably know me as Mr.Leibowitz, manager of Human Resources. Just Charlie is fine, really. I've been working for this company since I graduated from Columbia, I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York and if you don't think I have an accent, you've not heard me while I was angry. Which wouldn't be surprising, seeing as it doesn't happen often.
Anyway, that's about all I can think to say about myself. And I have no clue how to wrap this up. Oh, what a great manager of Human Resources I must be, I can hear it now. I assure you, I'm better at my job than I am at this.
