Home again, home again, jig, jig, jig
First of all, can anybody (especially anybody British) tells me what comes before the title line in the nursery rhyme? I can’t for the life of me remember.
Also, what is the opposite of ‘predecessor’?
These are the things that have been keeping me awake at night.
These things and the fact that now I’m back in the office I really need three days to get caught up on stuff I missed and follow up on promises I made in meetings. Instead I am already burried under a mountain of new, urgent stuff which I really don’t feel like dealing with at the moment.
On a positive note, I came home to an apartment which is almost completely finished. Walls have been painted, tiles grouted, knobs twisted (tee hee). It is fantastic!
On a random other topic, does anyone know how to meditate? Does it really work as a relaxation tool?
Ok, gotta go, it’s my brothers birthday on Sunday and I haven’t mailed his present yet. Hey, at least I bought it already.
The version I recalled went like this (thanks to a web search):
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, dancing a jig;
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog;
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.
Also, I think the opposite of predecssor would be successor, no?
As for meditating…I don’t think I’d ever have the patience for it myself, but from a psychology point of view I learnt that it did actually work.
Ooh! I think I can help!
1.) “To market, to market to buy a fat pig…” maybe?
2.) successor (if by opposite you mean the person who comes after you as opposed to the person who came before you).
I think the line is something about going to the market…does that ring any bells?
You guys are the best.
Of course, successor, that’s exactly the word I was looking for (I kept getting hung up on replacement but that wasn’t at all the word).
Anyway, thanks, now I can sleep again!
