The profession I started in at the fit young age of 14 and 9 months (Aussie minimum standard working age..), plus all the skills learnt over the years at Red Scooter have paid off! Apparently the skills are evident - because I said I hadn't had much experience (for me working behind the bar at Scooter wasn't a la carte experience!) - and after a while the other girls said, 'Liar! You definitely know what you're doing and have done it before!' I was obviously looking foremost for a job in architecture, but without knowing definitely when the army will draft me, it's hard to get a more serious job.
And on a day when a pretty serious incident occurred on our borders, it was a different feeling to be discussing the issue as an Israeli, with Israeli's, who are all ex-Army and to hear their ideas and thoughts..just an aside.
When I walked in a saw the wall, I knew it just had to be photographed..Although I wasn't sure what should be the photo of the day - the wall, the first order I took, the first Israeli note I made as a worker - I reverted back to the wall picture, because for all it's worth, it's a pretty damn decent sketch and I reckon it's nice to show these things around. I see it as a piece of Art worth admiring - both for its character in the line drawing itself, and it's slight comedic approach to a typical Jewish/Israeli kitchen..
Also, when I tell people I've only been here 2 weeks, they are quite amazed at the Hebrew - both written and spoken, so kudos to the teaching over High School and Uni - I'm sure it gave me some mad skills as a base and refresher!
So, enjoy.
Day 17 - Monday 31 May 2010And keep smiling =)
