Happy Hanukkah
December 22nd, 2008, No Comments
Every Hanukkah I have a strange fear that I will forget the prayers. Unlike most of my Hebrew (which is, admittedly, shit), the Hanukkah prayers over the candles are so ingrained that I doubt I could ever forget them. I used to silently chant them on my way to the school house when [...]
Awards
November 6th, 2008, No Comments
It’s always weird to have to stay late at work, especially now that it gets so dark so early. But it was heavily suggested I stay for our quarterly meeting. So I did.

The stupid of my developers is only matched by the stupid of my India Consulting Firm.
At work, we tell people “If you want to be added to a project’s list of users, open a ticket with the project’s name listed under ‘PROJ’ and the list of users under ‘USERS’. Please only open one ticket for [...]
