Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Good AM work; workload slightly > ¾
Good @ work lunch, Hearth and Field”
Good PM work; but why did he have to call me ignorant? Well, well, well…He just set that, didn’t he? I am plenty of things in this life, ignorant is not one of them. He went so far as to suggest I start looking for another job. What an ass-hat. Who the hel does he think he is? So I’ve successfully pissed off half of the shop. Like their opinion matters to me?

Essie outside briefly.
Toby to Meeka Park. Toby, seriously? I realize we haven’t gone for a walk for a long time, but the rules haven’t changed.
* along the way to Meeka park, I noticed several animals in a couple of cars. I checked it out on the way back. If this guy didn’t offer some kind of flimsy explanation as to WHY they were in there, I was ready to call animal control. I’m still watching the situation.

Alle-Vater God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wotan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
