Shredded lettuce. Does anybody really need their vegetation in microscopic pieces? And if it's iceberg lettuce... ooh, don't even get me started on iceberg lettuce.

Realizing the next day that things aren't quite under control, after all.

Also, I send Frodo and Sam to Mordor - right at Sammath Naur - , so they wouldn't have to travel far. A deus ex machina if you ever saw one. Who needs Gollum?

Of course, it's still up to Frodo if he'll throw the Ring. If he won't, then I'll relocate him to right inside Mount Doom.

Ripped contacts and smarting eyes...they hurt.

That you're having a Silmarillion-obsession (that is more serious than the one you're having all the time), but you don't have time because you are in a help leader training or on the 'downs

or you have schoolwork to do. That's just awful.

I assign another weekend from Hell. It begins when a normal eye examination turns into a two hour horror akin to something from Marathon Man but with eyes and bright lights instead of teeth and drills, and then the optician finds something dodgy in one eye. So now I have to wait until the hospital can look at it to tell me if it's bad and if they have a glass eye and a patch on ice for me. *shudder*

Then I get up on Saturday morning and find we cannot get into the front room as the door catch was jammed (this is where the computers and the telly are, so it was doubly horrific) so davem had to kick the door down like in a scene from the Professionals. Despite this being funny, it split apart an original door frame and the blast knocked the pictures off the walls!

Then we stayed in all day expecting snow and there was nothing! to top this off, one of the cats had an 'accident' in the laundry pile at bedtime on Sunday. And today you realise that your job is possibly the most boring job going.

I hope chocolate has not been sent to Mordor...

Everything I said in post 908. To the power of 10.

And my own stubborness - for continuing to vent my frustration at some support centre incompetent, telling him exactly what I thought of him and his cowboy employers, even though I knew it was costing me 50p a minute for the pleasure, and that I also knew that was the only reason he was putting up with it and not putting the phone down on me.
