Just a Word on the Work Situation

Since I last posted, I have had the good fortune to quit XYZ Communications...... after only a few days on that job, it suddenly occurred to me that I should phone an English friend of mine who I knew had landed a very nice little job. By a strange coincidence, providence or whatever, she called me just a few hours later and mentioned her company were looking for more people. So I went down there for an interview and I was in.
I was hired for a fixed period of 3 or 4 months, which I thought would suit me very nicely till things worked out with Big Company (no, I still haven't heard from them yet). They are an internet start up focused on the English market - product is planned to launch in September - so unfortunately I cannot reveal too much about what I do. There are about 25 of us, we are based in a house in Modiin (for my English readers, this is the Israeli Milton Keynes, located just on the "Israeli" side of the Green Line en route from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv). Today myself and the other English staff (all hired on the same temporary basis) were told that our assignment is open ended.
The people are lovely, the environment pleasant, the project interesting but the work often grinding and repetitive - though each segment of work does end in an interesting exercise that involves playing with spreadsheets that really appeals to my inner nerd. Oh, and the money's pretty good too - not something you hear from an Israeli too often.
So, here's to my good luck on the work front..... I hope yours is at least as good as mine, wherever you are!
