Fun Fact About Tuesday's...

My blog is like the Torah. Amazing and not chronological, so you are all just going to have to go with the flow.

(Sent to a friend on August 28... It was a Tuesday. This will be very relevant in about 7 seconds or 2 minutes depending on your reading quickly skills.)

Everyday is a new day and today I woke up with the sun (literally) at 6am.
Background to the story- we have been calling Misrad HaKlita (absortation office. That is what the air hostess on my aliyah flight called it.) since the day we stepped foot on this holy ground (song reference: SoulFarm- "take your shoes off Moses you're on Holy Ground..."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6N3iz4pgKQ). Misrad HaKlita is the place that in a nutshell gives us free money for existing. Of course, you only exist if you live in Israel. So worth making aliyah. But so not worth it because they never pick up their phones.
I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt and figured that one of the phone picker up-ers went into labor and the other one was delivering the baby (think that scene in Rat Race. Precisely what was going on.) However, as the weeks went on (yes, we have only been here for two weeks but it has felt like so much more. I think I have aged significantly.) have gone past I no longer thought there is a future Misrad HaKlita worker being bounced around or that their phone is off the hook for excessive periods of time, or no, their battery did not die. They are just too lazy and incompetent and enough is enough!
We woke up at the crack of dawn with our "heck no we won't go" and "we are going back to America if you don't give us the dough" signs. We got to their office at 7:45, 15 minutes before the enemy's doors open. We waited outside and waited but nothing.
Then out of the corner of my eyes I saw movement.
We asked them if they will be so kind to let us into the building that is meant to embrace our existence but has instead been ignoring us.
Their response- " OH SORRY WE ARE CLOSED ON TUESDAY'S" (I told you to remember the very important fact is was a Tuesday.)
They pick Tuesday to be the day they close. What possibly goes on on Tuesday that they must oh so desperately need to take a day off?!
Maybe they are all for the environment and nature was created on Tuesday, so they sit in the park all day?!
Maybe they prepare for the holy Sabbath THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE?!
Best part is it says on the inaccurate, lying website "ve opeeeen on Tuesday at 8 o'clooock."
Um no you don't, you make new olim cry and ruin their day, their week, their month, on Tuesday's at 8 o'clock.
Not only do you lie, but you keep money from me.

UPDATE: I have begun to recieve my six installments for money. Thanks to all Israeli citizens for your money. Loving this!

  1. Next installment may be a bit late as I'm having a tight month this month, what with the expenses of the chaggim and all. ;)
