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!

Gooood morning! It's another mild morning here in the mid-Atlantic Workers' Paradise. I have yet to use my ice scraper this winder! It sounds crazy, but I need my week to slow down a bit. I have my first big (not so bored) meeting tomorrow that I'm hosting.... and I'm nervous! LOL. There's lots to do between now and tomorrow. Eeek. ~~stress~~

[Lil'freeper]

Sleepsey Hobbitses.

[RMDupree]

*yawn*

Mornin' LF. :-D

Busy day here ahead of me.

[Ramius]

Mornin'...

~sip~

[RMDupree]

I need coffee.

Gotta get these 5 payrolls done first to stay on schedule for today. :-P

[JenB]

*Yawn*...

Izzit Friday yet?

[ecurbh]

Morning. Meeting day today... ugh.

~sip~

[Ramius]

Mmm... Meetings. Those are the bestest. :-)

[RosieCotton]

If I thought you were saying that seriously, I'd be very afraid you were feverish 'n stuff.

Good morning! Hopefully the van actually gets worked on today...

[RMDupree]

Mmm... Meetings. Those are the bestest.

What you say?!

~sip~

Back on schedule here. :-D

[RMDupree]

It's the rulz.

[Ramius]

LOL... so true.

But it's different when ~I~ call the meeting. Those are important and valuable. People ~like~ my meetings. It's other people's meetings that are boring and pointless.

Right?

Right...?

;-)

[JenB]

Hey, as long as you enjoy your meetings I'm sure everyone else will.

No, wait. I meant as long as you provide alcohol and sugar for your meetings, everyone will enjoy them.

[RosieCotton]

I'm actually gonna miss the meetings at my last job. We actually *gasp* accomplished stuff during 'em.

That never happened the last place I worked. And they were boring. I got in trouble (well, mildly) once because I literally nodded off so my head hit the table with a nice big clunk before I woke up.

Oops. Way to impress da boss.

[RosieCotton]

You forgot the other food group: caffeine.

[Ramius]

Heh.

[clunk]

That would be classic.

[RosieCotton]

"last place" being the place *before* the college, that is.

[RosieCotton]

Heh...it wasn't funny at the time. But I'm guessing some of the other attendees enjoyed it...more than the stuff we were discussing.

[SuziQ]

I got in trouble (well, mildly) once because I literally nodded off so my head hit the table with a nice big clunk before I woke up.

ROTFL!! At least you didn't wake up with everyone else gone from the room in a puddle of your own drool. Not that I'VE ever done anything like that, oh no!
