The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Through shadows to the edge of night
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! |

I wish! :-)
Matthew's Latin teacher was interviewed by the Broken Arrow newspaper...and so was his wife who is a very good friend of mine, used to be my parent's neighbor and a member of BA CHEF. They really talked up homeschooling, Latin and BA CHEF! As soon as it comes out, I'll scan it and post it.

So ...
I spent all day at work staring at my cellphone, willing it to ring. I finished my training today, and passed the test, and listened in on live calls, all the while staring at my phone and fretting. Finally, at 4:45 this afternoon, the recruiter called back with the good news ... I'm in with the better job! I start next Wednesday at 1pm (it's a scheduling thing)!
Of course, everyone in charge at the current job had tiptoed out early --- my trainer, getting a jump on her vacation; her boss, getting a jump on the weekend, the big boss also AWOL. So I called the recruiter. I thanked him fulsomely for working so hard on my behalf, told him I'd been presented with an opportunity I couldn't pass up, and offered to work a short notice. He said he understood, and that the notice wasn't necessary. I told him I'd like to come in Monday to personally thank the woman who hired me, and he thought that was a good idea.
So, I'm pretty durn happy, what with this being Friday and all. I leave work, go pick up DaBear, and he's driving us back across town when my cellphone rings. I think it's thenewrecruiter, calling about thenewjob.
Nope, it's a chick from a company I applied to weeks ago, calling to find out if I'm still interested in a software tester job that pays a little more than thenewjob. It's a direct hire, no contracting, with benefits off the bat, in a field closer to programming, with a company that will always make money --- they manufacture gambling machines. So, I'm doing a phone interview with her Monday morning.
I'm being poured on ... and it feels right good!
Happy Friday evening, all!
