The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

That's the most hideous night light I think we've ever had here...

Only if I pick up the monitor and shake it...

F16s flying over. Four of 'em.

God bless 'em. Keep 'em safe.

I pray it every time they fly over.

If PowerPoint had been available in 1863

Good night.

Evenin' everyone!

Scruffy's stitches are out and he's looking good. The vet needs to see him in a month for a recheck.

Next on the agenda....Jessi MUST be spayed. I'm praying it calms her down a bit, as hopeless as it sounds. She's as destructive as a tornado!

HI Rutheeee! :-)

Time to go to the vets and get tutored, eh?

Tutored or tortured? :-D

Poor Jessi. She's hopeless.

In my field they dump pages of text on a slide. 12 point font. Couldn't read it if you tried. But no worries. They read it to you. Word by word. With their back to you. Droning on in their nervous little voices.

That's exactly how they (mis)use Powerpoint at a certain Japanese automaker. And everything on the slide is "company confidential", which means no copies are allowed. So they give everyone 15 minutes per slide to copy all the numbers down.

Don't ask me about the 200MB Excel file that arrives by email once a week, that contains the entire financial existence of the company. Or the 50MB Excel graph that takes 45 minutes for the printer to process, and has to be read with a magnifying glass. Or why they buy printers that can handle 17x22 paper, so they can turn the paper gray with tiny printing, and then fold the paper until it fits in their day planners.

I want *so* bad to be able to enforce mail quotas. It'll never happen, though.

Yah... Josie *really* hated me for some weeks after the trip to the vets... come to think of it... she still doesn't like me all that much. :-)

We have a disk quota here. The undergrads are always going over. I love telling someone who can't log in "Your account's been disabled for quota violation. I'll reactivate it and then you clean up like a good boy".

Hullo all. I'm exhausted, but done with the homework that's due at midnight. So I can have a shower, read, and maybe go to bed if I can just settle down.

Hearing you all talk about e-mails just reminded me to clean out my December e-mails from my client folders in Outlook.

*wonders if IT department is cursing at me*

Sigh... well... if they were just emails, maybe not. If they all had powerpoint attatchments, that's a different story.
