The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

*sneak*

OK, how's this for stressful? I got a call from one of the folks who interviewed me, who said I was their top candidate, but when he tried to call my references, they were all wrong numbers. How that could be, I have no idea, but my GOSH I'm nervous!

I called everyone back, got direct line phone numbers for most of the ones I just had extensions for, and added a few more. E-mailed him that, but he said he probably wouldn't get around to making the calls until tomorrow morning.

*bites nails*

So...I could very well be offered the job tomorrow. That's the upside. The downside is that I feel like an idiot for having references that didn't check out. Just feel sick to my stomach.

CW stands for Carrier Wave and is a common term for Morse Code. This is because the code simple consists of turning on and off a single tone. Hence on an oscilloscope it would only show up as the presence or absence of a single wave form (unlike voice transmission).

I'm amazed at how terrible he looks.

For our younger crowd, I'll post a "before" pic for reference.
