The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

"Think of an occasion in the past when your boss asked you to complete a task on which you disagreed with him. How did you handle this?"

Yeah - makes you wonder if this has anything to do with what happened to the last guy in the position! :~D

It's a new position - new franchise of a company that does PC repair and also computer and network support for small businesses. I think the questions they asked are from a standard list they are supposed to use, but...eek!

The newness could be both good and bad, I guess. It would mean a lot more responsibility than I've had, and possibly more than I want. I'm a good team player, but I dunno how good I am at being more or less in charge. And it would likely mean a lot of hours, and (at first, at least) less than the pay I'm hoping for...but then, the other place that kinda sorta did an initial interview wasn't able to offer me really any more than I was making in Vermont, which is barely enough to make it. I don't want to do that again if I can help it. Don't have any ambition to be wealthy, but making enough for a toy now and then would be nice!

Honey, how about we just toss all these dishes out and get new ones?

Okey-doke. I'll stop and get some paper plates and plasticware on my way home. ;~D

Whew, test went much better than I had any right to expect. And they're performing "The Mikado" at school tomorrow...

But then, when did Arwen and Aragorn go?

During the Halloween scene.

All caught up. There's a tornado somewhere north of here or so the news guy sez. Think I should get one of those weather radios?

Or maybe I could get one with cat clawa attach and program it to claw my face? :)

Seriesly....the ability to sleep through tornado alarms is proportional to how tired I am.

Looks like (so far) all the bad stuff is gonna miss me but I wish it'd rain on my planter box. Guess I should flylady the garage again so the car will fit.

My object all sublime
  I shall achieve in time--
    To let the punishment fit the crime.
