The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I actually have more respect for hyenas than vultures. I think hyenas occasionally make their own kills, instead of just feeding off the kills of others.
But I could be wrong.
To: Overtaxed
No its not. There are quite a few union shops in state government. I've never been in the union here (and I don't want to start now).
To: HairOfTheDog
Hyenas just seem more evil to me than vultures do.

To: HairOfTheDog
No, none are union (management). But I have some protections through the personnel system -- they can almost just fire me, but not quite. The "not quite" is where the lawyers and the negotiations and the purgatory come in.
At this point, I'd just as soon they did fire me and be done with it -- in fact I'm going to suggest something to that effect within a couple weeks.
Instead, they make your entire life a living hell while you cling to a job you don't want anymore.
No sir. Not for me. Being poor is not as bad as being in hell.
To: JenB; Overtaxed
Jeesh! - I would have bought it! The price was cheap. - opportunity missed.
To: HairOfTheDog
Sounds like a better job than at L&I.
To: Scott from the Left Coast
I need to put in a cross-fence so I can rest the pasture...
To: HairOfTheDog
Just think of the oil....don't you think it would be fun to undercut those other OPEC countries?
To: Overtaxed
Oh yeah! If you see another one of those countries for sale, let me know!
To: HairOfTheDog
But having your country invaded makes the property values drop like a rock....

True.... But I think Dubya would stand with us, don't you think? I would be a good ally, I would!
To: HairOfTheDog; 2Jedismom; JenB
Hehehe....I'll remind 2J to keep an eye out.
To: JenB
Well if you only paid $1.80 for it....

Evict them.
If we bought it, we could evict them.
To: Overtaxed
Jen doesn't seem to think this idea is gonna fly.
To: HairOfTheDog
Oh, come on, what are you going to do, get the UN to make them leave?
