Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

You rock, 2J! Yeah, I don't like it when folks try to throw their weight around like that to get special treatment, especially when they are putting so many other people out.

So, I'm in this meeting today.

About half way through I emailed a co-worker and offered her $500 to pull the fire alarm...

Wanna come to some of my meetings?? I got myself snookered into briefing the uber-big-chief-muckety-muck tomorrow. *sigh* It could go either way. Visibility is good visibility, right?

Sigh.

They love me. I... do not reciprocate. I just hate the whole "bean counter" atmosphere and the projects I'm doing are so boring.

But the money is nice. Got my first paycheck. Yay!

Congrats on Matthew's science test! Joseph isn't even doing any formal science this year. SirKit will be working with him this year on his Math to get him ready to take the placement tests at the Community College. He needs to be up to at least pre-Calculus level to take college Physics, which he REALLY wants to take. He's already had Biology and Chemistry with labs, so with the Physics, he'll have all the Science he needs for admission to any college He gets plenty of science everyday, anyway. He and SirKit are always talking about science stuff!

We're also going to try to get him involved with the FIRST Robotics team at Gulfdport High School. He was on the team at Shrewsbury High in the 8th grade, but he was so low on the totem pole that he didn't really do a whole lot. We're hoping he'll be able to do more in Gpt.

BTW...what's the gist of the "Riot Act of 2006"?

They weren't getting into the lembas, were they?

There is always that. I have to remind myself sometimes that I like having a roof over my head. ;)

Ungh...my boss was out sick for a few days earlier this week, but I'd hoped I'd missed it. But I've been feeling shivery all afternoon.

Sure enough, I've got a fever. Yay.

Hope I didn't give it to anyone else.

Mmm...roof.

And high speed internet. And a dog. And cats. And dark chocolate. Not necessarily in that order.

Who could ask for anything more?

There might be a few more things for the list, but it's a good start.
