The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

Or Michael Jackson and his plastic surgeon.

ROTFL!! Yeah, MJ's a walking example of "too much of a good thing".

So is Jen getting pretty intolerably excited yet? :~D

Heh...mostly she's just spending intolerable amounts of time on the phone. < /tattletale>

The agency you work for hasn't offered another assignment?

The lady said they don't normally handle technical assigments, and this was kind of a fluke. I also asked about admin type jobs, but she said they're really not seeing much right now - folks want to wait for the start of the new year.

So...I dunno. She gave me a number for a sister agency that does some tech assignments, and I'll be calling them. But it'd be rather nice if I heard back on the publishing company one. I got a note today that they had my resume and would be looking it over to see if I fit the position, so we'll see.

Intolerable? I don't think it's intolerable... hasn't been that many hours I've spent that way...

Thanks! I'm trying not get my hopes set on this one job I've applied for, but it would be nice, I think! It's in a really pretty part of Loveland, too, which is close by and a nice drive from here...only twenty minutes or so.

But we shall see what we shall see, I guess. There's even the possibility that the folks at the company I'm working for now (via the staffing agency) will be hiring a few months down the road. That leaves something of a gap, though. I'll be starting to apply for retail jobs again over the course of the next week or so.

You know I'm just teasin'. ;-)

And you put up with my weirdnesses, after all.

Like intolerable Siamese brats.

Prayers continue for you, Rosie.

I have complete faith that you will land something permanent very soon.

Evenin'

Just bought my mom an new door latch set for her old house.

On eBay...

The old-fashioned kind that screw onto the door on one side, rather than popping out from within the door...

Her (130-year-) old one broke.

The "new" one is probably nearly as old, comes from the liquidation of an old hardware store, and is in its original box.

This had better work.
