The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Mornin'.

I've finally heard back from da bosses on my e-mail yesterday. They're dicussing some of the details between themselves first and I guess they'll bring me in today or tomorrow to get everything in writing.

I've also discovered that the HR department has still not "officially" approved of this new position, so that is freaking me out a bit.

Yeah - he's got such a nice style, I think he's making things more polite :~)

A kinder, gentler, White House Press briefing :~)

Normally an HR department doesn't make decisions... they execute other people's decisions. But yeah, I hope there's no last-minute glitches.

I think he's doing a great job!

Did you hear him when he was trying to get the name of some terrorist and he said "I'm not going to try to fake it." Heh heh!

Good job, Tony!

Wow, you kilt the thread worse than it's been kilt in a long time.

I had a good day at work, I get my own cube next week instead of sharing with two other interns.

You're own cube is a good sign :~D

Unless they start asking you to store boxes in it... :~D

Hehehe... well I'm only there for another 11 weeks at the most... I figure I need two weeks before the wedding to do things. Also I would be useless at that point anyway.

Not that I don't have long moments of distracted staring at the manuals I'm studying without actually reading them.... but that's pretty normal I'd say.

Yeah - It's perfectly normal to not actually read a manual :~)

Actually, staring at them for hours and hours seems to let the information leach into my brain, I've been figuring stuff out that I have no business knowing how to do.
