The original purpose of this blog was to: a) write about the problems and dilemmas that are facing modern Israeli women of today; b) write and English blog that will be read by my English speaking relatives abroad (in addition to my Spanish blogs :) ; c) self-check my English writing skills (due to the fact that till the present day I have defined English as a passive language and not an active one). ).
Yet, I have found comfort and solace writing about my experiences on the young Tel-Aviv arena of dating and nightclubbing…
Being a woman at her late thirties, I already know that life is full of surprises and unexpected events… less than two months ago 39% of our company's shares were bought by new shareholders… a big announcement was made, there was a BIG party with a famous Israeli band and lots of dancing, good energies and hopes were spread around, and then, all of a sudden about 8 employees were dismissed to their homes…. Me among them (the SEO team was dismissed and its services will be performed by an outsourcing company that belongs to one of the new shareholders…)
It is NOT NICE to get a layoff notification, not nice at all, but I guess this is one of the aspects of the High Tech arena…
Maybe my future posts will be about my interviews…

About Seals, Rabbits and Manner Schnitten
Dear Daphna,
No way that we will let you go like this. So here are my virtual hugs and kisses.
And my best wishes for the future.
Wherever you are, you will stay with me, you marked me for life:
No Manner Schnitten I will be able to eat without feeling guilty of not sharing them with you.
No "Richterin Barbara Salesch" without thinking of you and your mother.
Everything has it's turn, and yours here at Babylon, beside the work, was to give all of us the outstanding example of love and devotion to one's parents. I am deeply indebted to you for this.
Seals - well you know.
Rabbits - thanks again for little Felix, I will take good care of him.
Love - Ursula

Sad but true. As one that was fired 2-3 times or was the last one that closed the light when her startup closed its gates, I understand your feelings.
The most stable thing in life is the change itself. And when the earth is shaking beneath your legs, just jump and jump on it so when you stop jumping - you'll see what stability is :-)
When life serve you lemons do lemonade of them ! go to the beach,
drink a beer, burp loudly like a caveman, no one hear ! shout or lough or cry, whatever make you clear your heart and digest your last crazy year. And smile ! Everyone is around you - your family, they all healthy and love you. you have home and you have people to make dinner for them.
The next job you will be sorry that you didn't extend the vacation, so treat yourself with kfafot of meshi - you are in a middle of a great change, and I wish you luck and happiness.
Love,
Tzipi
Daphna,

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all
Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As evry fairy tale comes real
Ive looked at love that way
But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, dont let them know
Dont give yourself away
Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Hi Daphna ,
Each end it's a all new start of something better and more interesting ( I hate when people saying it to me ) ... but in this case it's TRUE .. I experienced it on my self .
We all love and appreciate you as a very interesting converser and a good friend . Each time that I saw you at our dinner table I knew that it's gone be very interesting and funny dinner talk :) .
Of course who can forget those magicaly few month when we sit together. It was amazing that 3 most differetn persons has shared they word together and had a great time .

Please stay in touch .

Dear Daphnita!
Oh god I am really not good at this...:-)
I will try...
Daphnie
To say that it has been a pleasure to work with you is an understatement...in fact, I did not have the "pleasure" to work with you, but I did learn a lot and grew as a human being by having you in my experience while working.
You have the magic of touching people's lives for the better, for showing how authentic and true to oneself we can all strive to be. Thank you for that lesson!
Be sure that I will miss you (as I already do) to see you everyday, to chat with you everyday and to learn from you everyday.
But that's what all good masters do: they come, they teach and they leave you with better tools to live your own life more fully.
You are one of such masters.
Love you.Be happy = be yourself. Always.

Dear Daphna,
I am writing a comment to your blog after a long period, though it is though, disgusting and makes you feel bad you can always find comfort in your family, friends, and your personal abilities.
And at last but not least you should allways remember that you are morally in an higher place then those who fired you.
best of my love.
Yaron.
thank you all for these lovely comments ! You have really touched me,
most obliged and thankful,
daphna
hi Daphne,
although we didn't really work a long time with each other, but still we did get to speak here and there,
from what i learned to know you it was a great pleasure always fun and delightful, just keep on spreading the good vibes around!
lots of good luck!
Dotan, Babylon
