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

[ecurbh]

Oh, was there a debate?

If by "debate" you mean "selection of idiotic questions asked via dorky YouTube videos, answered with soundbite cliches by a bunch of bloviating blowhards", then yes.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Why, that doesn't sound very good at all.

Goooood morning!

I have the marvelous task of telling muh peers that I’m jumping ship. I got an appt w/ my boss’ boss for Friday and I suspect I’ll have to go sit in my boss’ boss’ boss’ office, too, at some point. No matter. I’m writing down notes and categorizing them three ways: “Reasons why it had to be done”, “Reasons why I’m reluctant to go” and the doozies: “Reasons that made it a very easy decision.” Heh.

[Corin Stormhands]

izzit Kwaanza yet?

All I have to do is make it through the next 10 days and 17 shows.

Seriously...I know we've gone back and forth on this and I know I said I wouldn't do the show this year. But this really has been the most difficult of years. I'm not sure what it is, but everyone is feeling it. When teenage guys in the dressing room are saying they want it to be over, then you know we have issues.

I'm simply exhausted. Today I have a bored meeting and tonite a performance. I woke up dreading not the bored meeting, but the performance.

I think that means it's time...

[JenB]

Uh, yeah. It’s time.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think maybe you shouldn’t do the show next year...

Good morning. You’ll get through it. Break a leg. :~)

[Overtaxed]

And give up show biz?

‘Morning! ~sip~

Getting close to Caturday...and they’re using the “S” word.

[HairOfTheDog]

They used the possibility of S word last night, and we didn’t get it. I was excited too.

[JenB]

They used the freezing rain words here... and we’re supposed to spend Saturday evening down in the next town with friends. Hopefully they’re wrong.

[Overtaxed]

They’re covering all the bases here: freezing rain, rain, ice pellets, snow, sleet....that about gets it all. 80 percent chance of precipitation though.

[RosieCotton]

It can snow all it wants on Saturday. I’m holding out for that... No snow during the week!

Good morning!

[TalonDJ]

Wait, stop. You forgot the ‘reasons the *****s can kiss your ****.’

[TalonDJ]

Ah yes, the oh so wonderful ‘wintery mix’.

[Lil'freeper]

Naw, it's not like that. I can put more detail in a FRmail if you're interested about how our little family of R&D/T&E organizations work together. I'm essentially moving up the food chain, becoming the customer of the data products my current org produces. I'll be far better positioned to tighten thumb screws and enjoy their squirming over a much longer period of time than a momentary, flash-in-the-pan PHOOEY ON YOU GUYS during an exit interview.

The best revenge is to live well. (don't know who said that, but it's true)

[JenB]

Actually, “revenge is a dish best served cold” seems to fit the situation too.

[TalonDJ]

and ‘when they least expect it!’ whahahahahahaaaaaa *cough*

eh, yeah.

[JenB]

Uh, yeah.

Aren’t you supposed to be working? ;-)

[TalonDJ]

I am working. Some.

[Lil'freeper]

I got caught up in a conversation (on a thread about reading) that got hijacked by a new gadget.
