With the new year, we have a number of new colleagues... and must bid farewell to a few old ones. Pictured above is our departmental secretary (SZ) in the classroom we hold our meetings in slicing a commemorative cake (all occasions here seem to be celebrated with cake... well with the exception of engagement baklava). It was a sad day as SZ was much more than a secretary - always anticipating our departmental needs far enough in advance that we didn't want for much. Unexpectedly, the week prior to her leaving, we all received gifts of clothing from SZ. I would love to post a photo of us in the clothing she gave us, but I am afraid CH would object, as she was rather self-conscious in the figure hugging cream dress patterned with a scattering of pink flowers. As for K, D and I, the gifts we received have become part of our staple Kurdistan wardrobes. Thanks SZ. We miss you.
