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!

Heh!! Nope, didn't feel that one. It's quite a long ways away from me, though...

OK does have the occasional earthquake!

Good morning!

I'm just stopping in long enough to check my mail and say hello...it's a fine morning and I want to sit in my back yard and enjoy it!

I'm slightly sunburned!

Mornin'

Not here for long. Gotta to to an employee recognition event. Almost didn't come in at all since the location is closer to home. But I figured I could get an hour in.

Gots an email forwarded from the boss troll (thru Rasputin) sayin' "why wasn't this report done?"

My response? "I don't know. Who did you assign it to? It wasn't me."

Planning to be there. I am moving into my house the weekend before and I tend to play things by ear so I will not swear on anything that I will be there. But I should make it. As long as I can afford plenty of ammo... er I mean gas... yeah, gas and ammo.

I guess that's because it has to be visible in the dim light of some bar. The color is actually a matte gold, except the SEAL insignia, which is a bright gold.

~sip~

Bosses suck.

I just got the "official" Hurricane Preparedness Checklist from my manager. She's asking everyone to sign up to be on one of three teams: In-House, Emergency and Away.

In-House has to be ready to stay late as the hurricane approaches and come in as soon as it passes.

Away has to be prepared to fly to Georgia 12 hours before the hurricane makes landfall.

Emergency has to help the Away Team board up their house and check on its condition after the hurricane, speak to family members, etc.

I don't like any of these options. :P

I guess Emergency sounds best...but those options just stink!

I went with In-House because I don't want to be stuck preparing someone else's home while my home has nothing done to it.

I'm tellin' ya, this company just ain't normal.

You'd think they'd let us go early and want our safety to come first and foremost, but it's so obvious that all they care about is keeping the business operating continuously, regardless of who it affects.

Could you do away and offer to drive to Georgia, taking the kids with you? Then the Emergency people would board up your house....

Those options, excuse my language, sux0r.

Whew, just finished lifting and I'm all slimy. Gotta shower soon as I cool down.
