Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
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! |

What is it with Wisconsin and weird town names? My Dad's from Madison, but sometimes it seems like that's about the ONLY normal name in the place.

As a southernor, I have no moral obligation to explain Wisconsin. ;-)

Heh...it was more of a rhetorical question. I think most of them come from Indian...errr...Native American place names.
But they *are* unusual.

Yeah...the guy I was best friends with in the military was half Indian...his mother was fullblooded Blackfoot. He said they all called themselves Indian. So... *shrug*

I need more caffeine myself. Got back from class and there's a list of stuff longer than my arm that needs doing.

We finally saw George on tv! We scrolled through the CNN shows from yesterday morning, and saw him standing next to the Mayor of Gulfport when the mayor was speaking to the reporters. The Bishop was standing behind the Mayor, then moved off camera while the Mayor was talking.

Heh...actually I had the EW typed in response to the picture. But "the real Billers" is pretty bad.

OK, let's say I decide for the moment to try for customer service and administrative assistant type positions, since I'm having no luck within my actual field. Do I a) use my current resume with a cover letter stating how I think my skills will translate, or do I b) need to come up with something entirely new?
And...c) is anyone actually gonna hire an out of work computer tech as an admin assistant? *sigh* I gotta think maybe not.
It's sad, but I almost think I'd have a better chance at the (seemingly) blue zillion retail jobs I've applied for if I DIDN'T have any former employers and job titles to put on the job applications.
