« Sticker art girl with a long neck. »

I managed to survive the first week at work. There is always a period of feeling awkward and exposed when you first start working somewhere as you get to know the people you work with and find your way into the daily routine. The work is very familiar even though I'm a bit rusty in places and there are products in use that I've not worked with before. I have some large datacenter experience that might be helpful as well. The most challenging part of the job is, and will likely continue to be for a while, keeping up with conversations and meetings in Finnish. I understand quite a lot, but I have to concentrate on everything that is said. My vocabulary isn't all that great, but even if I only get half the words, context will usually help me figure out the rest. It's like working a cryptogram in real-time. My coworkers have been very nice in speaking Finnish to me even though I'm sure they find my replying in English somewhat annoying and, hopefully, I'll get over my self-consciousness about speaking Finnish sometime soon. Most of the people speak English very well which makes it too easy at times to be lazy. I keep hoping I have a Thirteenth Warrior experience and just start speaking it at some point and quip "I listened" when asked how I learned it. One person has such a perfect American accent that had he not said he was Finnish, I would have pegged him as being from somewhere in the Midwest. I hate that when people who aren't from the US have a better American accent than I do. :)

The atmosphere of the office reminds me so much of WU and BBN that I feel pretty much at home already. Everyone is some sort of academic who found their way into computing. I had to stand up and introduce myself at a meeting on my first day where I was told I had to describe my hobbies lest I be asked about them repeatedly. It seemed a little odd until I started to figure out that people really do value their hobbies and are interested in yours as well. I was really excited to meet a coworker who is involved with a student photography club and lab since I didn't want to build my own darkroom with an enlarger or buy one of the new photo printers since they generally suck at B&W printing. I'm also going to try and play sähly, Finnish floorball, with the company team once a week. I'd better look up the word for "incoming!" before hitting the arena. :)

Perhaps one of the most obvious differences between working in the US and here is the general approach to the amount of time you spend in the office. At BBN, 80 hours wasn't an unusual week and if you were on call, 100 or more. Here, people go home at a reasonable hour and I've yet to notice anyone sleeping under their desk. You're even expected to take your holiday time. What a novel concept! I had 5 or 6 weeks of holiday time per year when I left WU, but I never really had the chance to take it so that I had a giant check for 16 weeks of accrued holiday time along with my last paycheck. Holiday time works a little different here as you accrue time much like you do in the US, but you need 6 days of holiday time to take a week off from work. I am told this is a vestige from the 60s or thereabouts when the workweek was 6 days rather than 5. The employee manual also had some interesting holiday tidbits such as a day per annum for moving house and if your 50th or 60th birthday falls on a weekday you get the day off. I have a few years to go before that happens. :)

And, the breeders have supplied us with 2 more pictures of puppy cuteness. :)

Napoleon, W's model for a liberating
conqueror

Napoleon, W's model for a liberating
conqueror 07/23/2004 08:07 PM

Here in the capital of a former jewel in the French imperial crown (Quebec City), I just finished a rather dry academic biography of Napoleon by Steven Englund.  It is easy for to forget that France was once an important military power, just like us.  Rather than exploiting and/or pillaging, Napoleon tried to liberate the people in the territories that he conquered, just like George W. Bush.  And just like George W. Bush, Napoleon suffered his first defeat in a multi-ethnic Middle Eastern country:

"The Turkish Empire, which nominally ruled [Egypt], was regarded as an immoral and declining power, so the French saw an opportunity to revive civilization ...

"The effective goverment of Egypt at this time was in the hands of the Mamelukes, an equestrian feudal order of slave origin that had long held power over a disparate population of Moslem Arabs, Coptic Christians, and Sephardic Jews. ...

"To the [French] expedition's stunned disillusionment, the land of the pharoahs turned out to be a filthy backwater of flies, mud huts, disease, howling dogs, and superstition.  Alexandria offered nothing worthy of its grand name. ...

"The most controversial [decision by Bonaparte] in this campaign was his decision to execute three thousand Turkish prisoners ... [who] had surrendered on a promise of quarter ...

"[The French] intention to bring 'enlightenment' and 'development' to blend 'the rights of man' with 'the law of the Koran.'  From Egypt's perspective, the Europeans dropped suddenly onto their scene as an alien, hostile force majeure. ...

"What eluded Napoleon's anticipation was the degree and persistence of Moslem mistrust of the French, coupled with their comparative indifference to Western notions of reform.  ...  The preponderance of Egypt's populace sincerely believed that anything worth knowing was already explicit or clearly implicit in the Koran.  More seriously, many Napoleonic measures outraged people.  ... Decrees on behalf of women, Jews, and Coptic Christians ... went down almost as badly as the imposition of high taxes to support the French army. ...

"The French hold on Egypt thus remained what it started out as: force operating behind a facade of hypocrisy...

"For the mass of the populace, the French could not get out from under the burden of being seen as 'the Christian enemy,' the crusaders returned.  In that perspective, the Ottomans and even the Mamelukes were preferable because at least they were not infidels."

The good news for W. is that Napoleon bounced back from that 1799 defeat and several others, managing to return to power even after exile to Elba, for example.  So if his obsession with Iraq results in the loss of the White House he might still manage to come back in 2008.

[Nouvelle France and Quebec prefigure to some extent conflicts and controversies today.  The French came to live in a reasonable amount of harmony with the Indians, whom they saw as valuable economic allies in such endeavors as the fur trade.  The early French immigrants learned Indian languages and many married Algonquin women.  They expected some sort of ethnic and cultural fusion to be the end result.  The English, by contrast, came to displace the Indians.  They also did not shy from the ethnic cleansing of Nova Scotia, deporting 10,000 French-speaking Acadians between 1755 and 1762.]

Xeni Jardin: Torn from the vaunted html pages of The Hollywood Reporter:

Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising and McFarlane Toys announced a new licensing agreement to develop a line of action figures based on characters from the hit movie "Napoleon Dynamite." The toy line, which will hit store shelves in the fall, will feature characters Napoleon, Pedro and Kip. "Napoleon Dynamite and action figure may seem like an oxymoron, but McFarlane Toys has the appreciation and understanding of this character and the film to create some truly fun and highly appealing toys," said Peter Byrne, executive vp licensing at Fox Licensing & Merchandising.
