Dad - I think JP is thinking of the English translation of "madman" for 'Irre.' JP - 'Der Ire' isn't bad if you think of the Irish character in the movie Braveheart who was crazy, like a fox.
'Der Brave' fits for me, I guess, except I like to think I was the best-behaved member of a group of 'Irren.' During my late teenage years with Walter and Matzinger, I was not always 'brav' but I was 'brav' enough to keep the group of us (mostly) out of trouble!

H - congrats on picking the new job. If you had stayed at the old one solely out of guilt, you likely would have come to hate that job and would have begun to resent your boss who 'guilted' you into staying.
So, again, congratulations, good job on getting a new job!
I should have some good news myself, next week, but I'm not getting into it until it is a done deal...

Hope all are well!
