2 years & counting...

Well, today is my 2 year anniversary here at work. This is the first job EVER that I've had that's lasted this long. My previous record is 22 months. However, the only reason that one ended (I feel) was the combination (1st) divorce/nervous breakdown back in 1996. Otherwise, I probably could have stayed there.

So, today is a day to celebrate: my job, my maturity, my stability, my improved mental health, my support system (particularly royalcrow)...all of it. I am very thankful.

It's a good day.

Funny Link

I found this through a couple of SCA mailing lists, but I think it's remarkably amusing:

Things I’ve learned from British folk ballads by Jim MacDonald.

Go ahead & read some of the comments afterward, too; the "public" has added more.

My personal favorites: "Going to sea to avoid marrying your sweetie is an option, but if she hangs herself after your departure (and it’s even money that she’s going to) her Doleful Ghost will arrive on board your ship and the last three stanzas of your life will purely suck."

"If your girlfriend serves eels in eel broo, make sure you see her eat some first." (I know some people won't get this one; it's from a Child Ballad..."Lord Randall" if my memory serves me correctly. Yep, he dies...of poisoned eels in broo.)

Have a nice day!

Someone call a Goddess?

(I find this interesting. Aphrodite is not one of the Gods I usually work with; usually it's Demeter or Athena. Hmmm.)
