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!
Nope. Am girding my loins for an ultimate smackdown tomorrow. Need lots of slides with nicely formatted data. My Excel Kung Fu is stronger than the other guy’s. (am stacking the peanut galley with smarter people than I, just in case...) I’m actually very stressed and my pulse is up. I hate anxiety.
There is hope.
Don’t you have good reasons not to care any more?
Yes, but will I live to see it?
1) I got the wrong number, or 2) Aliens have landed at Castle Stormhands
Heh...
Good luck with the car search! Car shopping isn't any fun. :-\
2 big reasons to still care:
1. The state of my 'team' when I leave will impact some *extremely* important customers.
2. My reputation. The newjob moves me into being a 'customer' of sorts for my current organization's work. I want them to be as productive/responsive for me when I move as they are for me now. If I win this battle tomorrow, I go out on top and everything is ship-shape for some months yet. :)
Maybe you should try Camels, they could probably take care of themselves with the horses, also people will 'walk a mile for a camel'.
I don’t understand why they don’t have COD mailing envelopes in which you could put things like that so that you don’t lose them forever. You can get them from the Post Office when you return from your trip!
Just shows he’s TRYING to grow up! Hope you can find something ‘somewhat cool’, with the cash you have available.
*snort*
Now that makes sense. You might have to file an environmental impact statement for as much sense as that makes.
In other newz...when they went to get the stereo, brother-in-law called and said “why are you getting rid of this car?”
He says he can get it back on the road for under $500 and then over time help Jr. deal with some of the cosmetic stuff. So with even having to keep the rental another week, we’ll be coming out ahead.
Jr. is elated.
Heh - Really. No major frame damage he doesn’t know about? Do you trust his judgment on that?
Like I said... I did fix my Honda after it was totaled... It was too good a car to throw away. I had to have it inspected and re-titled. Once totaled, it’ll only have a salvage title.
So my oldest little brother is going Army-ROTC. To pay for his electrical engineering degree.
Sigh. I’m getting old.
Yeah, I trust his judgment. He talked to the guys at the insurance company body shop and they seemed to agree. Plus, before I took it in I had our regular mechanic look it over. He saw no damage to the frame.
If it helps, I promise to stick around and taunt you relentlessly about stuff you're too young to know.
Yeah, I’m just having issues. This was not the bother I had expected to join up (Seth’s the chaplain wannabe) so...
There are lots of Army chaplains... good folks, too.
