Another true story from the life of Lisa

The other day I made a routine call to the army spokesman’s office in order to obtain an official response to a certain incident. This is how the conversation went. Really!

Ring, ring.

Phone answered on first ring (douze points pour Israel!)

Male voice: IDF spokesperson.

Lisa: Oh, hi. This is Lisa Goldman speaking. I’m a reporter for -

Male voice: Lisa Goldman from On the Face?

Lisa: You’re kidding!

…Pause…

Lisa: How do you know about my blog? Who are you?

Male voice: Oh, I’m Noam.

Noam, this post is dedicated to you.

Wow. This is an ego boost that can carry a person right through the High Holidays, remaining high throughout. I wish I had one…

I have to say…the IDF spokesperson’s office doesn’t really have any information that’s useful for the average journalist calling, but Noam and Lee are pretty friendly.

That is pretty cool. I wonder if they actively read some of the blogs to get a feel of the way the IDF is perceived in the blogsphere.

Noam and Lee strike again with recognition of me on the phone calling for a Jerusalem Report article, thanks to my previous comment here.

@Tsedek
No, Tse. I moved from Pennsylvania to San Francisco–haven’t ever served in the army

Still, way to represent, Noam
