מסת"עלבית (mistalbet)


i wish all the bugs i have to deal with looked this good.

mistalbet is a slang word for mocking and ridiculing. today i turned it into an acronym for mistovev al bet, which means going around in working uniform. it worked out really well ^_^ (israeli's aren't so big on word-play, so it's unique AND good!)

alright, so i woke up in an incredibly good mood this morning. what a pity my mood was ruined when i realized that i was already half an hour late, because i'd forgotten to set my alarm. i hurried, and managed to get the bus on time to only be an hour late in total. on the way, some guy called me up to play a prank on me - he couldn't have had better timing. i was under so much pressure that i took him seriously, and got even more stressed than i already was.

and then i had to deal with everyone and their mother making snide remarks about my tardiness.

the entire day was spent fixing bugs, and learning the new systems. we discovered that the guy in charge of teaching us might be released very, very soon - this means that the three of us who're new will be the only ones with a clue, and the kid and i are under enough pressure with upgrading our systems.

in short, we're screwed. i took the kid and the new girl aside, and we agreed that any spare moment will be spent making sure that she gets to a point where she doesn't really need us. that's not going to be easy.

it's weird being home when the sun's still up. kinda nice, actually. now for a hurried shower, and then i'm rushing off to the bachelor's. i wish i didn't have such a crushing headache. i'll have to drown it out... somehow... ;)
