Last night, the Judge Ben-Attar put his head into a poliethilene bag. His suicide note says that the work stress was too much for him. He had returned from a meeting with his superiors who questioned his fitness to be a judge, since he was unable to make up the accumulated delay of his caseload.
The Minister of Finance fainted and was hospitalized yesternight. He just returned from a meeting where he was held responsible for the recent rises in food and gas prices, while tax revenues are larger than planned. Leftist parties smell a popular issue that they can ride against the government and they are organizing demonstrations. He said that international commodity prices were not under his control.
So it is not only me who is working too much.

For one exciting moment, I thought you were going to say "Leftist parties smell a popular issue ... and they are organizing for reduced workloads for public servants".
A large demonstration is being organized for tomorrow and a general strike.
Anyone who wants to recover in real terms from the meltdown is working like a dog.
I know I am.
Anon.
Israeli judges are excessively overworked. That is a fact. They take lot of work home. The trial lawyers are pityless and they humiliate them if they catch them unprepared. I have seen it.
In general, people here works too much. I work too much. My daughters work too much. Life in Argentina fifty years ago was much better.
