Cold that chills you to the bone and does not go away, even when you get home.

I also assign more precisely windchills of -30 degrees and below (curiously enough, -30 C is almost -30 F... I won't bother with the exact conversion). Up to -20 to -25 it's ok... cold, but when the mercury closes in to -30 degrees it's when things start to get ugly

I assign walking around the house with one sock on.

I can stand walking around with one shoe on, because I know there's going to be a difference in my stride and the height of that foot, but with a sock there's just no warning.

I'll walk across a tile floor, and the foot with the sock will be warm, but then the bare foot will be cold, and then I step onto a rough carpet and one foot stays the same, and the other feels every bump.

And stairs are the worst. I find myself stopping and trying to remember which foot goes next.

Yes, I'm blonde, what of it?

Coughing, especially in public.

And Panther-sweets that taste good but have an effect of increasing the coughing.

Stepping in water on the kitchen floor. Having a wet foot is not nice.

Thank you. They didn't even taste that good.

Vectors

I assign vectors in all their ways, shapes and forms.

I assign position vectors, unit vectors, direction vectors, and whatever the difference between them is.

I assign how the modulus only matters sometimes. Seemingly at random.

I assign vector products. I assign scalar products.

Children.
They always seem to have jam on their hands. Even when there isn't any jam in the house, they get jam on their hands. I just can't deal with jam hands.

So I actually ban 'Jam-hands' to Mordor...

This is another self inflicted injury...

so I don't expect sympathy...

I assign still not having filed my tax return, and worse still not having ordered a comprehensive calculation guide even though I have remembered all the trouble I had last year...

And the fact that I put myself through this misery when if I had got my act together and written in the (literally)half dozen necessary entries by Sept. they would have done the calc for me...and saved me trawling through 50 pages to confirm the easy assumption that it will be the same percentages as last year, and the year before that...

And the knowleged that it is even more unforgivable in the light of how I earn my living...

So basically I assign myself ...but I think someone already did....
