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!

I would suppose that the "control" is a key element in that.

yeah... that's purty key... if'n yuh establish good firebreaks, judge the wind, do it when the humidity is moderate, it can be a great tool...

heheh heheheh... he said tool...

Thanks!

Ok...now what?

I should get to bed, I s'pose.

I dunno if I'm working tomorrow or not! Not the nicest feeling. I asked if I could take the day since I have to take the kitties in and have plenty o' other things to do, and it was OKed...but then the one other technician wasn't feeling well this afternoon and everyone else is out except the network admin guy. He doesn't do the helpdesk. So...if the other tech is still sick, I would feel bad if I didn't come in for most of the day.

*sigh* I hate uncertainty.

BTW, today was the last day they were taking applications for that job I want (we WANTS it precious...we wantsssss it!), so I'm assuming they'll start narrowing down applicants to call for interviews sometime next week. Keep me in your prayers!

I recommend: see to your kitties. The people at work are all adults and can (theoretically) work around your not being there. The kitties, however, depend on you to take care of them.

Oh, and good luck on thenewjob!

If I had to, I probably could. It'd be expensive, though! So I'm kind of hoping they'd let me do something by phone...though on the other hand, an in-person one might give me a better chance.

I guess I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it!
