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!

Hehehe...

Still haven't gotten any training on our new database. I can check samples in and out of locations, but that's about it.

Analysts from another group who are more "involved" with it, don't like it (you have to enter in all your results manually) so I'm keeping a separate Access database for my study. :)

I require an interface for an application or database to

1) be self-explanatory and,
2) work!

That's all. I can do the mindless, repetitive, manual upload thing. I just want it to work.

Or maybe they were surgeons and he's a bit of a black sheep?

Or Bryson Celeborn Kincaid III and he could have a "thing" for black sheep...

It's not that data entry is mindless and repetetive. It's just that there's too much potential for entry errors whereas now we can import and export to Excel as needed.

My mindless part is just mapping paths to files. Not actual numbers.

Emailing over the database thingie:

Them: You need to tell us exactly this and this and this and this and this and this and that and that and that and that and maybe we can fix your problem.

Me: It's not *my* problem. It's *your* database.

Them: << blank stares >>

Sure! Romantic suspense requires a capable heroine.

Can't think of a more capable heroine than a Marine with a double-E!

I was thinking the vet was the heroine - prolly because my vets are both ladies. But that's ok. :)

And I was thinking of my own personal LTC - although not a Marine - is yummylicious in that uniform of his.

Nah ... his parents HATE that he's a veterinarian, and that he works with animals! Icky-pooky!

So, equine surgeons are the superstars of the vet world?

No, no, he was supposed to go into academia and carry nothing heavier than a briefcase, and touch nothing ickier than caviar and foie gras. Instead, he took his trust fund and got the education he wanted. As his mother has said, "My greatest regret is that I allowed you to read Dr. Dolittle!"

However, he doesn't have a practice ... that's the part I need help with! You have Freepmail!

Awesome! I need to get plotting. I have two excellent characters, two that will be fun, and an idea. I'm going for preposterous suspense, mindless action, and romantic tension (the tension between the two leads probably doesn't get resolved, the secondary characters may or may not end up Happily Ever After)

Competent heroines are the best! No whiny little nuisances for any of us, right?

Awesome snooty name: Lachlan. I ran across it on some reality show recently.
