Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And there are many paths to tread
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, Well 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! |

So, I went on the interview yesterday. It's with a tech support outsourcing company here in Austin, providing 24x7 Level 1 tech support for WorldWideDeliveryCompany. I get to support not only their computer woes, but their printers, their bar code scanners, and even the load-balancing scales they use on their planes.
I parked out front so crookedly they asked me to go back and straighten up the car --- found out later the tales of my parking skills had been spread all over the company. <sigh>
I spoke to the lady for maybe fifteen minutes, babbled a bit, expressed my honest opinon, showed her how I troubleshoot, and left.
She apparently got on the phone as soon as I walked out of her cubicle and told the recruiter she wanted me.
So, I have a job. Thank you, Prayer Warriors!
I start Tuesday, and for next week, it's 8:30am - 5pm.

Ruthy, you have EXACTLY described my feelings about this job.
It's not programming, it's not writing. However:
- It doesn't stop me from modernizing my programming skills;
- It doesn't stop me from studying for the first test of my MCDBA;
- It doesn't stop me from writing my series of novels.
In fact, this job will facilitate all those things.
So ... there's that.

So ... there's that. And that's good enough. At least for now. :-)
Besides, once you become a world-famous novelist, none of this will matter all that much. *grin*
