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!

Axe murderer? nah... too clumsy. However I *was* voted by my firends in college as 'Most likely to need to hide a body.'

The wedding was awesome and amazingly hitch-free, aside from the main Hitch taking place. :) I'll dredge up my pics soon, but where is this Yahoo thread?

Yes, indeed. Take care to manage the situation as best you can. The stress that it can produce is horribly corrosive to you health and happiness. (voice of experience here)

It already is, for the short term anyway. I have this huge task in front of me that will only result in turning my good product into a format that is compatible with their crappy product, and I will probably remain despondent through the whole process! I don't know whether to get started or get drunk :~)

Sorry about the firing at your place, I guess it could always be worse.

The stuff I have to do is such specific and technical database stuff that I don't even think I can commiserate about it. But thanks!

heh....what're you complaining about? They're "restructuring" our division and a third of our department gets chopped.

Eeeek. I hope you aren't at risk, OT!

I couldn't decide, so I decided to get started and have a strong drink. We'll see how it goes!

It would really suck from an equity point of view. Can't decide whether to stay until I've got decent equity in thenewhouse or cut my losses and move into a paid-for rent-free house.

Moving's a pain in the butt, though.

Heh...probably worrying about nothing (knock on wood). I've got at least some of my peers beat on skills and performance reviews.

Well...hopefully they realize you're worth keeping around!

Good evening, all! I'm making a sort of chicken chili...stew...thing. We'll see how it goes. I had 'maters and peppers to use, plus chicken and onions and garlic and such. It smells OK, in any case.

But I have to go back to work to reboot servers and check on one that's ailing. *sigh*

At least it's only my turn to do that every so often.
