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!

If she wants to be a vet and is thinking of A&M she should talk to Empress. She did her prevet there for er.. 2 or 3 years, I forget, before going off to Grenada to do the DVM part.

The continuing adventures...

I consulted the TA of my third class of the day and decided to skip. Got to the bus stop with three minutes to spare, which was great, because it's cold out. Only the bus didn't come. And didn't come. And none of the transit personnel would tell us stranded riders why....

So after half an hour, the second bus of the route made its way back around. Apparently the one I should have taken broke down (disappointing, I was thinking "Speed" there). I'm home, at least, but I have no food so I must make a final effort...

Probably nobody will be happy.

Another fun development: Got a call last night from da boss. We got notification from the vendor of our financial accounting package that they are terminating support for our system at the end of this year.

Swell. Crunch a two year process into six months, since we'll have to be converted and running on [some new system] in parallel for a quarter before the year end, for SOX compliance.

Swell.

Heh...there are rumors where I work that people somewhere high up think we have too many IT people. Um...not.

But it does mean my boss may be extra displeased at my leaving. It's possible they won't let him refill my position.

This is all just rumors, but...I kinda wonder.

Everybody always thinks there's too many lifeguards when nobody's drowning. :-)

Or when the lifeguard is out of sight, saving someone else.

Grr...it's frustrating. But I guess soon it isn't my problem. Still...
