Job's been going well. Quite happy to say the tipping there is excellent. and the company just as pleasant most of the time at least..

It'll be nice to go drinking again though with Chief.

Been quiet recently. Eerie quiet, but that's just how it is, I guess. Can't help but keep my guard up just a bit though, in case of emergencies.



A lusty young smith at his vice stood a-filing,
his hammer laid by but his forge still aglow,
When to him a buxom young damsel came smiling,
and asked if to work at her forge he would go.

With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle,
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho!

"I will", said the smith, and they went off together,
Away to the young damsel's forge they did go,
They stripped to go to it, was hot work and weather,
She kindled a fire and soon made him blow.

With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle,
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho!

Her husband, she said, no good work could afford her,
His strength and his tools were worn out long ago,
The smith said, "well mine are in very good order,
and now I am ready my skill for to show"

With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle,
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho!

Red hot grew his iron, as both did desire,
and he was too wise not to strike while 'twas so...
Quoth she, "What I get I get out of the fire,
So prithee strike hard and redouble thy blow!"

With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle,
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho!

Six times did his iron, by vigorous heating,
Grow soft in the forge in a minute or so,
And often was hardened, still beating and beating,
But each time it softened it hardened more slow.

With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle,
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho!

The smith then would go; quoth the dame full of sorrow,
"Oh what would I give could my husband do so!
Good lad, with your hammer, come hither tomorrow
But pray won't you use it once more ere you go?"

With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle,
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho!

pein, feeling playful, calm before the storm?, happy with work
