asher553Last week was a busy week. Last Sunday evening I attended a Charlie Kirk memorial in Beaverton. It was well-attended, quiet and dignified, and I saw a number of friends from the local conservative community. The ceremony was short, about a half-hour, with about an hour of social time afterward. We didn't have any trouble from the other side.
Thursday night I attended a fundraiser dinner in Beaverton, again running into a number of friends from the conservative community.
On the work front, I learned that my current contract will be ending at the end of this month (my manager had extended me for as long as his bosses would let him), but almost immediately after getting this news, I was contacted by a recruiter for a very promising opportunity in Hillsboro, only about a mile from my front door. I should be learning more this coming week.
Also in my professional life, I finally scheduled, took - and passed! - the first of two exams required to get a fresh A+ certification (the entry-level professional certificate for IT support). I'm taking the second exam tomorrow morning, so I'll need to set aside some time to cram.
And I finally started the online Hebrew course I'd signed up for months ago, and which was postponed twice. It is an Ulpan-style conversation course, and I think I'm going to be very happy with it. I took the placement test and they put me in Level 6 (of 7). We are reviewing the Pi'el conjugation and practicing vocabulary and dialogs related to art and design.
And with that, time to get back to studying. [270]
