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!
Yeah, see, everyone else thinks it’s funny. I am just glad HR is located in Maryland so I can’t get arrested for showing up and giving them a piece of my mind.
Grr.
You could send Lil...
In other news, I am sooo glad it’s Friday. Even if it’s raining. And I’ve accomplished nothing in the first hour except for fixing one very small problem. And I forgot my umbrella and the stuff for cleaning the fish’s jar.
Heh. I’d just increase my 401K contribution.
Hmm, we might have to run the numbers on that and see if it makes sense.
I’m still angry but Talon did magic and made sure nothing gets bounced so we’re ok.
This is ~not~ good. The only thing left that I ~have~ to do before I leave is record my out of office message.
I can’t imagine that taking me 2 hours...
Izzit Battlestar Galactica yet?
You should check and make sure your flight didn’t get cancelled. You weren’t supposed to fly ATA were you?
Or maybe that the mortgage got paid or something. With that much time left, you’re tempting fate.
Flying Air Tran. And the mortgage already cleared.
No no no! I’m not listening...I’m not going to watch it until I get back.
I got a $1 fine for not withholding enough. Jerks!
They are playing the last shows of season 3 on Sci Fi Channel right now!
I wish I’d set the last episode to record...I’m trying to remember it exactly...besides just the catchy music. ;-)
I still have last week’s special to watch, though, which I guess will help! And then I may or may not stay up late enough to watch the new episode...
AAAACK!
That’s the last episode, right?
I’d say yes...it’s a doozy.
Oh well, then. I just checked the queue again and I won’t get Disc 6 until tomorrow and Razor until after I’ve left.
So back to the original plan...
I'll get your HR department right after I set the Maryland Transit Authority straight. They keep fining me for toll violations when I have a valid sticker to get through the gate. But no where on the appeal form does it allow for the scanning equipment being malfunctiony. Grrrr.
But in other news, it's Caturday.
'Twas a long week and I'm beat. I had a very satisfying moment this week where I got to see the OldBoss get some comeuppance - it was one of those situations where you let them have sufficient rope to hang themselves... and then they do. The best part was keeping to the high road and not rubbing it in - not because rubbing it in is something I do reflexively (I don't) but because its something the OldBoss expects me to do. If you ever need a thorough accounting of your character flaws, real or imagined, work for her for a couple months. It's enlightening.
I had to go to a meeting at an elementary school this morning. Everyone there had colds. The staff, the kids... the stuffed animals, everyone. About halfway through my presentation I thought... “I bet I’m going to get sick from this place” and my throat immediately closed up and I started feeling feverish. Now I’m home and trying to convince myself it’s all in my head.
Ah, OK. I was confoosed. I never saw Razor, then...I wouldn’t think it’d be necessary.
