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.

Lot's of people out slaying trolls or making journeys today!

Well, I think I just reached the end of a weird little side-trip on my journey tonight... work has been utterly weird for the past couple weeks. Like when you're about to have a thunderstorm, but it hasn't happened, the way the air feels? Like that.

Looks like I was right; someone is getting fired. Fortunately not me, the chief sales-type. We junior programmers have been instructed to come in late tomorrow so as to miss the fireworks. Personally, I'm happy. I really disliked the guy. He was all smarmy and interfering. And at least now we know what's going on....

I'm just not as much into hugging as a lot of people like to be.

Note to self; avoid hugging Wneighbor at Entmoot. ;o)

Heh.. so'm I, but not much danger of that. As long as I do my work well, and we have money, I have job security.... because my dad's in charge of the firing.

But I am dutiful and do my work, and don't take advantage, so it's not really nepotism.

My mom got the whole set. My mom suggested we get it for the Chaplain, and I said I didn't think so since he told me to "get that screamin' eagle off my profile!" LOL

He was joking. I think...

Evening all. I've added a bulletin board to The Hobbit Hole. Feel free to stop by and check it out. You can create polls and everything.

http://www.the-hobbit-hole.net/forum/

I've added a chat room too, but haven't tested it fully yet, so I'm not sure how robust it is. More on that later.

Time to make a cheeseburger (sans bun) and some broccoli for dinner.
