I found a cool website today, all about passive aggressive communication. http://www.zefrank.com/
It's a common problem facing workers in today's world - getting emails from asshole supervisers and responding in a polite way as ordained by our society, when all you can really think inside is you stupid ass how dare you try to tell me how to work and what to do.
On a different note, I've been taking it easy at work for the last few days, and hopefully won't need to go back until Thursday, although I guess I'll need to start looking at stuff tomorrow so I can properly bullshit and pretend to know what's going on when I meet with the grad students.
It's just been a lot of stuff since I've been back. I've just fallen into my moodiness a little too much. And although I've enjoyed spending time with my family, I think I haven't been spending enough time with friends. It's just a little weird - to be away so long and lose those connections. I just need to suck it up and stop being silly and just call people and catch up. I guess I've become sort of a strange combo of Israeli and tentative over the last month, since I'm still having some re-absorption issues but they're really all in my head.
Also, I found an apartment. After a month of looking, and changing roommates, and roommates going out of town, an apartment has been located and deposited! Also, getting away from home and the safety of home I'm sure will help me be less isolated, since that's how it was in Israel. I think I've pretty much gotten to at least see everyone except for Sonja cuz she's just impossible to get a hold of. I even go to see Kevin :) Who I hadn't seen in quite a while.
Anyway, sonja, if you read this gimme a call!! I'd love to get together and catch up.
