The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

Go find the place tomorrow ... that way, you won't be anxious on Wednesday.

Good luck!

Oh, good advice, Rose. That will decrease the anxiety level tremendously!

Oh yeah! Duh! I shoulda thought of that...

I'll have to figure out which parking lot is closest, too. They're kinda few and far between on campus.

Oh, it would be so awesome if this was an end to everything! Hard not to get hopes up, at least a bit.

Have you heard back from the recruiter guy?

Is that at the business department? The big metered lot is right there. It'll be pretty empty at this time of year. Heck, you can probably park in the A lot without getting ticketed.

Good luck! Maybe this is it! And thanks for doing that big favor for me.

Yeah, I heard back. I'm "too technical" for the programming position. Huh???

I emailed back and said I was willing to accept less money if they wanted someone to run reports ... no response to that yet.

<sigh> Maybe it was just the recruiter letting me down easy.

I have another interview tomorrow ... this is the one that called me before I had a chance to apply ...! Maybe they'll be just as eager to hire me.

She said they're on southeast side of the oval. Wondering if that means it's the business school rather than the business department. I'm assuming my best bet would be EITHER to park in the big lot (if I can figure out how to get there...only been there on the bus, and as you know, my sense of direction is...well, severely challenged), OR to park over by Student Service, IF I can find that.

Too technical? Huh?

Well...maybe the other will come through! I'm still a bit ticked off about the job I applied for and got a letter back saying my skills didn't match the position, when as I said here, I coulda used my resume to write the job description. I had EVERYTHING they'd asked for, even the "it'd be nice if..." details. *sigh* I didn't even get interviewed for tat one, either.

Good luck on the interview tomorrow!

Evenin' folkses! :-)

Continuing the re-hab of the bachelor pad a little today. New sheets. New bathroom rug. New mop. Might even make the place habitable again one of these days.
