The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

Well, good morning! I'm bound and determined to be cheerful even if I kill myself. Since this is before I've finished my caffeine, it just might.

Today is the start of a new semester for me. Hopefully I do better than last semester, though 'not doing worse' would be adequate.

Well, I am very cheerful! Steve told me Saturday evening that he doubts he'll ever have to stay after work to work on the paper again. He said he thinks he's to the point that any tweaks will be done during work hours (which is ok with his employer, because they want that study!) So as far as I'm concerned, it's all over!

On the way to church yesterday, I said "It's a shame to take those three hours of thesis and not get anything out of them." Which led to a conversation about taking an engineering class instead. Which led to a conversation about seeing how close he is to getting an engineering bachelors degree.

~sigh~

On another note, he spoke with two people at church, one is in our homeschool group. He gave Steve two names to contact at Williams here in town. That's the company he wants to go to work for. Then, our Sunday school teacher asked him to email him his resume so he could give it to a guy at his job. He works for TD Williams...they make pigs. Pigs that route out oil pipelines, or something like that. Kinda like a roto-rooter type thing.

ROFLOL!! That is SO funny.

Luke, use the force.

Your freezer, I take it, is supposed to be the ice planet Hoth.

Ooh...I just read a book where they talked about pigs - they were thingies that could be put into a pipeline to clean or to separate substances (i.e. they could put through one type of oil, then a pig, then something else) and the most sophisticated have sensors to detect any damage to the inside of the pipes and stufflikethat. Pretty interesting.

Yep! That's it!

The only thing is...they go to Iraq. This particular company has workers in Iraq.

Just hoping the call comes pretty quickly so I don't have to spend hours and hours on pins and needles! And it'd be awesome if they could fit me into the schedule in a hurry...

Reading through sample interview questions and pondering possible answers. I know I'm not going to have things down pat and don't think I should...but some of the questions I was asked at the other interviews came as a complete surprise and I wasn't able to answer coherantly. I can't risk that this time!

It's still pretty early there yet...right?

I can't stand the suspense!

Yeah, just after eight. I'm figuring if I'm lucky, they'll call sometime before ten. I hope.

I think the final decisions on interviewees was made on Thursday, so they've already skipped a day. Dunno if they're in any kind of hurry or not.

they call them pigs. (excuse my ignorance, are we talking living,breathing pigs?)

The only connection I can think of is that pigs are used to find truffles?
