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!

someone asks Ducky's old friend Jethro what the good doctor looked like when he was younger. "Ilya Kuryakin," says Jethro

That was the line that made me look up who the actor was. I was so shocked.

SuziQ, NCIS is a CBS show that airs Tuesday nights at 7:00 CST. But the handsome and mysterious Ilya Kyryakin is no more (sob) and I had a crush on him, too.

He put his application in for a job at the Fort but they said it was too much of a step up for him (because the job he has now is a very low pay grade)..

That's ridiculous. Are they unaware of his prior service?? Harumph.

Fervent prayers for positive developments on the job-front.

Stapled? Bound? Folded?

Crisp and clean and in it's own envelope. They make big resume envelopes so it will lay flat.

Ditto previous comments about not being bound by the ol' one-page resume rule. Advice that got me my current job is to quantify quantify quantify and emphasize *impact* of his activities and accomplishments.

ie, if Steve was responsible for a big budget, mention how much. If he instituted measures that saved the city money, mention how much. If he raised money, mention how much he increased donations. If stream quality improved, quantify how much. If he organized volunteers, how many, what kind of impact did they have? Drop names of other agencies or communities or programs he coordinated with. Highlight how his work has affected the city, the environment, etc.

My $0.02 anyway. I need to update my own resume...

Oh! And don't forget USAJOBS.com.

Found this one right off. Oregon is nice. You can get a bit of land there.

Aaaarrgghhh!

Quantify? I'd think I'd have to give the raw values (before and after) means, stdev's, and %RSD's!

Naw - just something like my management of such and such team resulted in n% improvement in efficiency and saved $K over x-many years.
