…but it was still kind of awful. Thank G-d for Zpac, which helped me to get back in the swing of things. Speaking of swines (or the lack thereof), some time ago I went with someone to a (swine-less) kosher farm in upstate New York for a Shabbos – a really cool experience. Turns out that the ‘farmer’ is a massive talmid chachom who blew my mind with all sorts of interesting words of Torah [1] interspersed throughout the Shabbos meals and some one-on-one chats. I’m very much looking forward to hearing more from him in the future [2].
While walking around the farm, I realized just how clearly I was removed from ‘real outdoors life’ when I heard the penned sheep go ‘bahhh bahhh’, and thought, my goodness, they sound just like they do on cartoons. Ya.
Well, I just received an email notifying me that I will get more information about my position on the university that I applied to’s wait-list no later than the end of this month. Three cheers for that.
I had a job interview in Mahwah, NJ this past Thursday night for a position in sales. Unfortunately, it looks to be more of a scam/pyramid-scheme type of deal than anything else. A stand-in for Borat gave a Powerpoint-like presentation on what the company is all about, with way too much time devoted to explaining why it is not sketchy (which, of course, is pretty much a dead give-away that it is kind of sketchy).
More to come.
[1] Did you know that the Zohar references black holes? I did’nt.
[2] He has already got me psyched to meet a relative of mine, the Stoliner Rebbe, who resides in Givat Ze’ev, Israel.
