The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

I posted part of mine, though I'm a bit embarrassed by it.

ya know what? I just read it, liked it, and decided I'd like to read the rest!

Speakin’ of which...

I got my first paycheck in five years today.

$210 for one twelve hour shift. I feel strange...a kind of relief! Odd feeling.

And since I worked last night, I’ll get another one next Friday.

I feel like a stuned beeber.

Nice! Got to love the instant gratification.
On my first co-op job they paid in 2 week cycles on a 2 week delay and I arrived at JUST the wrong time. I had to ask my boss for an advance a couple weeks later or I was going to be eating air by the time that month of waiting for money had passed.

Dang, gal, that's some good pay! Nice that you can get paid well enough that you don't have to spend too many hours a week working, for now.

Yeah, we need to think of something nice to do for him. Maybe we’ll find a local steakhouse or something and get him a certificate for dinner. Something. ‘Cuz good naybers don’t grow on trees.

Well I smashed the screen of my ipod over lunch. Should watch where I put my pants
but I already ordered the replacement part so it is not going to cost me much (drat, there goes my exuse for a new one (not that it in the budget :P)).

I gotta admit, the iTouch looks really, really cool, in spite of the kind of silly name.
