Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley


I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Not paying, as you missed a critical item to the question being answered.
This answer is for an Old Friend he recently got in contact with and has not seen in a year.

In regards to the Co Worker... I have clearly said, "RUN!"

That will be $550.00 for making me go over this again. :cigar:

My late mom used to say, "You spend a lifetime fighting dirt, and in the end, they throw it in your face."
Yep! The last two weeks around Haus Winslow, it's been the Sisyphean task of cleaning up fallen leaves. I can just picture Mother Nature laughing at me overnight as she reduces my efforts to looking as if I did absolutely nothing. :p

I don't even want to deal with my coworker anymore. She was being a b all week, and her birthday is on Monday which she mentioned she didn't want to see me. I was more surprised by the other girls response.

Why am I not surprised?....:).....

Love you to bits man but you're not exactly the most decisive....:D......Libra?.....:laugh:

I'm not indecisive, I just read something on her Facebook page that made me think to wait it out a lil bit.

Ok.....My very last word on this....(I wish :laugh:).....

The ONLY piece of good advice that my Father ever gave me.......and, sadly, I mean only....so don't waste it....

Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady.....That advice got me married to the most wonderful woman that ever stepped upon this planet.....

May not work for you and her in the office though.....shrugs.....
 
I think I will have the fish.

I saw a cable show where 2 people had to eat an Elizabethan England diet for a week. It was godawful. They put fish in everything because it was the law created to support the fishermen.
