The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

A hundred departments with only 400 employees? Yikes... lots of really small depts I guess?

Ah, with job costing [snif] brings back memories. That's what I started out doing for this outfit many many moons ago. [snif] Ah... cost allocations... yep, like an old shoe.

You'd get a kick out of this... I dunno if I've told this story before (I do that, as you may have noticed) but back when I was actually writing programs (i.e.: being productive) for a living I wrote a fun little program that was designed to pull all the payroll data for direct deposits out of the accounting system and build the ACH (automated clearing house) file, then dial a modem and transmit the file to Wells Fargo bank.

The program ran in DOS, and was called the "Automated Clearing House Output Organizer", or of course: ACHOO.

One of my prouder moments. :-)

How clever!! And I do recall "ACHOO". *grin*

You'd be a dream client if you actually went through that trouble. Most of my clients complain that they have to actually add up their own employees' hours and input them into the system so I can run the payroll.

Let alone actually break out the job allocations or job costs.

The have departments and subdepartments that equal 100. Some employees have 22 allocations. SHEESH! Can you image? 2.5% in one department, 1% in another, 3% in another, so on and so forth until 100% is FINALLY reached.

Suuuuuuuure it's "meatloaf"....

It's fop,
Finest in the shop,
Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd
On top
And I've just begun,
Here's the politician - so oily
It's served with a doily -
Not one?
Put it on a bun,
Well you never know if it's going to run.

Try the friar,
Fried it's drier,
No the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy,
The actor -
That's compacter.
Yes, and always arrives overdone.
I'll come again when you
Have judge on the menu...

I'd understand the need for an evacuation drill more if I wasn't on the third floor of a four story building. There's only one way out.

Oh, thanks so much. Plus it was meatloaf-with-spicy-sausage-center, and we all know what's in sausage.

Hee, I am having way too much fun over on that Harry Potter thread. No fair for using the newt line, though!

I wish I was on that thread.... There is actually a lot going on in the news I'd care about on any other day if I wasn't so distracted!

Did you hear about that weird flash of light / meteor / booming sound thing that happened here last night?

Oh - And Ramius.... the smoking ban was lifted in Pierce County!

Have you ever seen "Sweeney Todd?" It's one of my favorites. I always wanted to play the lead.

When I was searching for the lyrics (and that's all I could find), I found a theater in San Diego doing "Sweeney Todd" with Kelsey Grammar and Christine Baranski.

Um, no, I haven't seen that. I don't get to a lot of plays, not even Gilbert and Sullivan.

If you ever get the chance, watch the "Great American Performances" production with Angela Lansbury.
