The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

Probably proofreading ability and typing speed. Just a guess.

Hmmm...if I get frozen or fresh strawberries, I can make daiquiris.

Go for the Admin Asst. jobs. If you've done Computer help desk stuff, you have the skills they'll likely need. Most of these type jobs require a lot of computer skills nowadays. Be sure to put any programs in which her are proficient; Word, Excel, etc.

Those strawberries would be great whipped up in the blender with that lemonade mix.

Trouble is, all the ones I've applied for so far, I've gotten back a note saying "We are currently considering candidates that more closely meet our needs". I have about six of those notes at last count.

Which is why I had the resume question. But I'm gonna try for the college admin one. Nice thing about that one is that I believe they put all folks who do well on the test in a pool and draw from that as openings occur.

you?... me too!...

Not only that I received a precious gift in the mail. It's small, but I'm enjoying it.

For some unknown reason, I'm on Hillary's mailing list. Today I got another fund raising letter from her with three BREs enclosed. I'm happily mailing them all back individually with a note that says "as long as you morons keep sending these to me, I'll keep sending them back at your expense."

Mwahaha.... maybe someone who doesn't like you signed you up hoping you'd get annoyed.

Has she said she's running for President yet?

Coolest thing...I have a remote control for the TV tuner card. I just have the 'puter on and I can turn the TV window on and off from across the room!

This means not having to replace the second (bedroom) TV I got rid of when I moved in here.

Evenin' everyone.

Sorry I've been so scarce lately, but I've got a few things to settle here at home (which has made me moody) and I'm not very good company. :-P

I had so much work backed up at the office that I didn't get out of there until quarter after 7.

Finally got the girls bathed, fed and checked homework. I'm a tired Hobbit.
