The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

There's nothing you can forget that you can't buy at Walmart.

Amen, Sister Lil!

Well, not 100% out but enough that we have to hit Hyvee on the way home.

'Course if you hit it too fast it'll be a moot point...

This is the first Friday afternoon that I’ve worked in months. It hurts. Stupid company letting us do flex hours during the summer. Argh.

Oh no!

Pavarotte, L'engle, ... don't want to think about who's next.

Cheers for their legacies; they did great things while they were here.

thanks fer the help...

the paper went out, incomplete, at 1700 yesterday... our chief developer/jr owner... had been tasked with writing this proposal three months ago... it was due yesterday (Tues)at 1700... he handed it to us 1700 Wed, saying it just needed a little tweeking... it was entirely jacked... not just entirely without format, but entirely without content... me and two other guys busted our humps all day, but when 1700 came, I had to send a product that was to say the least, not finished...

I suggested we call the POC and ask for a little grace... he gave us till 1100 this morning to hand deliver a copy...

so me and my compadres worked straight thru till 0930 (26 hours straight) this mornin’ un@$$in’ the proposal, and delivered a durn good product...

and the feller that was supposed tuh write it?... he wasn’t at werk yesterday... or tuhday... why?... no one knows...

and if’n yuh ask me... somebodies neglect that could have cost us 7 digits, deserves an @$$ whuupin’... at the very least... but that’s just me...

Congrats - glad you and the other ones got it out. It was fortunate your outfit was within driving distance. Those ‘just in time’ proposals are pain, no way about it.
