Tashkhalah
So I started the new job the other day with my Iranian boss. He keeps talking to me in Farsi, forgetting I don't understand. I caught myself a couple times almost speaking in Armenian to him. It's a boater thing I guess. But the new job is going very well so far. I already feel a little more productive/creative/relaxed after a couple days. But I do hate the process of getting settled and adjusted. I like having a groove... as long as it's a good groove.
There are a few things going on this week. Friday night the ACYOA is having their annual talent show, AYF kids are going to an amusement park on Saturday (cuties), and I'm having a barbeque for the ANCA interns on Sunday. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is the barbeque because I'm glued to my computers for the next few weeks, there are so many projects on my plate. Right now, I'm working on designs for the Genocide Education Project, 2 different jobs for the ANCA, 1 for the ANC PAC, the AYF Olympics Ad Book, and of course, last minute planning for Olympics itself which is around the corner.
Other exciting stuff... ANCA is going on tour with System of a Down this summer. They start their tour on August 3rd, and ANCA will have a booth at all their shows. I've been working on banners and posters for the booth, so if you go to one of their shows, make sure to drop by and sign a petition, or whatever we have there. It's not finalized yet. I'll be at 2 of the shows... Virginia and Baltimore. Yipee!!!
Oh, and I'm going to Montreal in August (once the Ad Book is done) for Kermesse. I've never been to a Kermesse, so I'm looking forward to finally going to a new Armenian event. And I LOVE Montreal Armenians. So full of LIFE! Can't wait to see you guys!

Arsineh, we should get lunch or something when you're in Montreal!
Montreal Armenians are also the ones that are still waaaaaaaay too stuck in the cold war era.
Anywho, I hope you have a great time in our nice little city. We're not all that bad. ;)
Vermont Katy? Wow, it's been a while. Definitely... email me your info I'll give you a call before I get there.
Montreal Armenians see their own flaws because everyone has them. But overall, move to Boston for a few years and you'll wanna bang your head against a wall, they are sooooooo apathetic. Sorry guys. I love you, but it's just different. For the number of Armenians, the community (mostly attitude) is disappointing.
Hmm, it may be so.
But you know, the more you love something, the more you feel the urge to criticize it from time to time, with the hopes of making it better. ;)
In my mind, we have way too many voskerich-s and mechanics running our organizations, and no offence to anyone, but they can often fail to grasp the picture (as do some of the doctors and accountants also in charge).
Kermess should be fun though. :)
Arsi,
Who's going to be at the Worcester show?
Not sure. I'm not really organizing the volunteers for the shows, rather the booth materials. I'll try to find out.
