What do you assign to Mordor?

[Lalwendë]

I send to Mordor useless workplace events. The kind of thing where everyone is brought together and made to go to a hotel and do activities and listen to dull talks and 'network'. Bah Humbug. The same old things turn up as 'moans' at every single one, which suggests that all this 'feedback' never gets acted upon anyway, and they take you away from all that work that's just poling up on your desk and you know the next week is going to be more busy than ever.

Still, it's always enlivened by a little subversive activity. Such as during a session using art and crafts to express what our work 'means', making pink hearts with "I Luv Work" written on them in gold glitter and sticking them on the 'group collage'. Meh.

I would like to take a moment and assign the idiotic behavour of my school peers to Mordor. For four years now they have lost us one privilage after another and not only did their actions recently lose us all non-stictly-supervised computer use but they have not ceased to behave like the most baseborn of all idiotic creatures ever to exist. Just once I'd like to have a situation where our grades are called together for some purpose other than being lectured at. Failing that I wish that the administration would at least do something. Seriously, if they can take the effort to regularly lecture us and restrict those scant privilages we have remaining you'd think they could exert a little mental thought, or even just look around, and punish just one of the failures.

Gah, thank you.

Scheduling. That most evil time of year in which you are required to plan out the rest of your life and made to believe you have absolutely no time to do anything you actually WANT to do just because you have a riduculous amount of General Education requirements left to fulfill and then you won't be able to study abroad and you are going to be a failure at life and so on and so forth. It sucks. I ought to have it easy for next semester, because I already know three of the classes that I have to take. And yet, I don't know whether to take my theology or my math credit and then where am I going to get my physical activity credits and do you see what I mean? And then, the administration thought it would be a good idea to schedule room draw for the same week! So people are not only going to be stressed out about classes, but also who they want to live with next year and how to avoid living in the "bad" dorms. So, in other words, I'm sending the administration of my school. The Board of Regents, too. I like the president we have, thank you. We don't need a new one.

My French prof. can be sent to Mordor cause he is the most horrible teacher I have ever had. He expects us to know all these different things that he has never taught us the verbs or he has only spent like one class on them!!!!!!! Aren't verbs some of the most important things you have to learn when you learn a different language!!!!!!
Ok. That feels better, this is such a good threat to rant on.

Scary, mouldy French cheeses. Ew, nasty.

Ears that are still thawing half an hour after you've come in from the cold - it hurts!

Oh and the library not having the books you wanted so you have to stand there for half an hour while the nice librarian lady finds them on the catalogue and orders them in for you.

Learning that the school library has none of the items that you need. Getting an extension on your paper so that you have time to track them down, and learning that the public library hasn't got them either. The draft is due today and I don't actually have over half of my sources in hand. I'm going to have to wing it and edit later.
