I went to a job fair today, which was slightly disappointing. I did get some good LinkedIn advice from one person, and I met the head of the Jewish Agency's employment department, so something came of this. Luckily, there was a larger vendor fair attached to the small job fair, and that was much more productive. I spoke with representatives of the other three health insurance companies, some CPA's (I have officially quit: now that we have to file in two countries, I will no longer be filling out my own tax forms), a broker who sells (among other things) renter's insurance, etc etc.
One of the truly exciting things at the fair was buying an English book on hilchot shmitta. The book is laid out exactly like I want: about 40 pages of practical "here's what to do if you suddenly find yourself confronted by produce" followed by a few hundred pages of going through the halachic sources in-depth. Moreover, there are flowcharts. Flowcharts! I love this book deeply, and the people at the booth were amused and gratified by my exuberance.
The other exciting booth was our shipping company. I just walked by when I saw them: already using your services, no need to hear a shpiel. Husbinator wisely said hello, and that turned into us filling out four pages of customs forms so our shipment can be released to Sonigo without us having to go to the port. So useful!
Speaking of exciting, my tiniest of Baby Spidermen slept through the night! From 8:30pm-8am with nary a waking me up in between. Yes, he's over 13 months old, and yes, this is the first time he's ever done that. I attribute this phenomenon to sleeping in his own room since Monday, with only one mid-sleep nursing allowed. Yay, babycakes!
