528.0. "if in Reading, come and drop by" by IOSG::LEVY (QA Bloodhound) Fri Aug 26 1988 11:46

    Hi,
    
    I've noticed that Bagels often goes quiet on a Friday afternoon.
    Maybe it's winding down for Shabbath, or it's that in Israel 
    DEC has the day off. 
    
    Anyway, this made me think that I miss all of you when you're
    not around, and can't meet up when you all get together in some
    local deli. 
    
    Being on an outpost of civilisation, here in Reading (England), 
    is difficult at times :-) 
    
    I'd therefore like to put out an open invitation for any fellow
    reader (chaverim) who finds him/herself similarly stranded over here
    to drop by. I'll see what I can do, maybe a Friday night meal 
    (though probably vegaterian), or we can just meet up. 
    Don't worry about how religous you are, I keep the basics, but am
    not imposing.
   
    Malcolm

	re: .0 Sounds good Malcolm, I for one will take you up on your offer if I ever get to Reading. Unfortunately the opportunities for international travel is not always available for many in DEC. In my organization I require a V.P.'s signature for such a trip, I just have and there were so many signatures on the authorization form that � the form was covered in signatures!

	I think that is a really great idea. If I should ever get to Reading, I'll try and look you up. In the SCA we too need MANY signatures for International travel.
528.3	holiday hassles?	VAXWRK::ZAITCHIK		`Mon Aug 29 1988 13:08`	14
	>> Maybe...in Israel DEC has the day off... << Don't you have Shabbat off in Reading? I am curious, by the way, to know if anyone has ever been hassled for taking off Jewish holidays, especially "minor" ones like Shavuot (just joking about the "minor"... point is that some major holidays are "minor" in others' eyes, obviously). Do you have to take them as vacation days, or do your supervisors generally let you make up the work elsewhen (al mishkal 'elsewhere')? I have never had a problem (but then most of my years with DEC were spent in Israel...). What about you others? --AZ ps/ this maybe should have been a separate note but I'll latch it onto 528.
528.4	November?	COGMK::FRANCUS	In Xanadu did Kubla Khan	`Fri Sep 02 1988 12:42`	7
	That sounds great! I may very well take you up on the offer in November, when I will probably be in Reading for a week. yoseff

	Hi Yoseff, I see that I didn't put down my present physical location. It is, Dec Park 1, at F8-16. That's upstairs, along the 'wall' near the security enterence. Malcolm
